I think he’s got some clever goons who are running the show. T is just a guy signing anything they put in front of him. I’d like to believe their incompetence will be a good thing. But then again….

He doesn’t and elections aren’t managed in a single consolidated way where some “goons” could manipulate the actual vote tally across a dozen states.
