Trump's 'I Don't Know' Presidency: A Compilation of Evasive Answers

The Daily Show's recent video, "Who's Really Running the Country?", highlights numerous instances where Donald Trump, during his presidency, professed ignorance about critical issues. The video masterfully uses short clips from various news sources, including Fox News and C-SPAN, showcasing Trump's repeated use of the phrase "I don't know" in response to questions about significant policy decisions and personnel appointments. One example involves Trump's nomination of a Surgeon General who hadn't completed her residency. When questioned, Trump responded, "Because Bobby thought she was fantastic. I don't know her." This lack of knowledge, the video implies, points to a larger issue of accountability and leadership. The video also touches on Trump's responses to questions about migrants being sent to Libya, and his reaction to reports of cabinet officials discussing sensitive material. In each instance, Trump's response is a variation of "I don't know," demonstrating a pattern of deflecting responsibility. The video concludes by suggesting that Trump's lack of knowledge highlights a larger problem within his administration. The compilation effectively uses various news sources to support its claims, making it a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion about Trump's presidency.
