"In theory, everything should come from the president, but it might come from the level below him where they're like, I think I know the president well enough to say what he would say on this."
O'Keefe Media Group released undercover video of White House Domestic Policy Council special assistant Maxime Lott and budget analysis manager Benjamin Elston revealing that policy decisions are often made based on what officials believe Trump would want, rather than actual presidential directives. Elston was recorded saying 'we have to get rid of Trump,' while Lott admitted domestic policy decisions are made based on what 'feels like a good idea,' raising concerns about unauthorized policymaking within the administration.
