He doesn't need any government advisors ...... Fox & Friends tells him everything he needs to know each day.
Oh, please! How silly. Such a childish response. This kind of comment says something about your level of education. Are you a high school drop out trying to be relevant? You failed.
I bet he also starts watching Sinclair news, which will cater to him also. Possibly it willl be competition for Fox advice for Trump. Trump’s head will be spinning. I’m figuring Shawn Hannity will receive a job in the White House soon.
Scary, Did you catch the Easter bunny and Melania on the balcony, with the fearless leader? That Easter bunny and Melania, said it all. Trump was probably supposed to talk to the kids, Monday, at the Easter egg hunt. Talking his usual, blah, blah, wall, talking to his followers, instead. What a guy.

The President just announced that he is going to send military troops to the border. He made it sound like this has never been tried before.
Here's the truth: George Bush sent troops to the border with Mexico. So did Barack Obama. Actually so did Woodrow Wilson.
However, there are limitations to what the military can do at the border without CONGRESSIONAL approval.
The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 prohibits the use of U.S. military forces to perform the tasks of civilian law enforcement such as arrest, apprehension, interrogation, and detention unless explicitly authorized by Congress. Basically, the act means that while a President can call for the National Guard to be activated in the case of a national emergency, he can't reassign the Navy, Army, Marines, Air Force, etc. without the approval of Congress or declaring martial law.
Congress upheld this in 2015 when Obama asked for the military to be able to do additional tasks at the border.
In both Bush's and Obama's administration, because of this, they ended up just having National Guard troops go to the border. Their role was a support role for the Border Patrol (and I might add, the Border Patrol was none too happy about it).
So, the current President will need to get approval from Congress in order to do anything different than the last two administrations. If he does not mention that, then he is uninformed. Or he will need to declare martial law, which is a whole different kettle of fish.
Anyhow, just wanted to mention this here so that people will be informed about this. Here are some articles for those who might like to read up on what has been done by past administrations, and the Posse Comitatus Act.
"Viewers of the Sinclair station in Akron were startled on Monday when a longtime news anchor, Carol Foyler, inexplicably began reading the evening news report in Russian."
"Viewers flooded the station with complaints, with many expressing alarm that, in the words of one audience member, “something was up with Carol.”
A loyal viewer said, “It made it really hard to understand the weather.”
I guess everyone watches the weather and she has the least to do with legitimate "news" so maybe that was the station's way of trying to toe the Sinclair party line but manage to keep some "integrity"....
This will put the kind of pressure that Germans of conscienc felt when Hitler and the Brown Shirts took over... No. Joke.
POTUS had the tweet machine going, then when he spoke to the press he started to back off those statements.
POTUS has lied again and was caught so he back tracked.
