Vance in charge.

And it's being executed across agencies.

Trump's not involved at all.

And the question that keeps coming up is if Trump is announcing policy but has no idea running it, who really is in charge here?

Is it cabinet officials?

Is it military leadership that gets some directive and then they just kind of go act on it and have to figure it out?

And the answer is not conspiratorial.

It's probably some combination of all of this stuff.

But I would argue that that's a problem.

Leadership is more than announcing decisions, especially when the decisions are really stupid.

And a lot of these are.

And when Trump is missing and we know that he's struggling physically and cognitively, we're just kind of left on the outside and we're watching the system that's moving.

But we don't know who's steering the entire thing.

So when we talk about Trump sundowning, we might mean it in the in the way it's used medically, where Trump has limited his schedule to mostly 12 to five.

And when he does evening events, he really seems slowed down.

He doesn't seem with it.

It's the cognitive aspect.

But there's also sundowning as a question of just like, where is this guy?

What what's he doing?

What's he up to?
