The Latest: Ryan sees Trump as 'chairman,' not details guy

Source: Associated Press



TUESDAY, FEB 28, 2017 08:00 AM EST

House Speaker Paul Ryan says it doesn’t concern him that President Donald Trump doesn’t offer more detailed plans to fulfill his lofty campaign promises because “I see him as more of a chairman.”

Ryan made the remark in an interview on NBC’s “Today” show on Tuesday.

Ryan, who has a reputation for being a policy wonk, was asked whether Trump’s broad-brush campaign promises are frustrating. Trump, for example, campaigned on repealing “Obamacare” but hasn’t yet proposed a replacement, now saying “nobody knew that health care could be so complicated.”

Ryan said he’s not frustrated: “I see him as more of a chairman, as a president, much like many successful presidents have been, where he gets people around him who are detailed people who can execute those plans.”

Great chairpeople of companies use the entire company at their disposal to drill down to the root cause or source of critical problems and solve them.

They track details and educate themselves (by company employees) on the issues and facts.

tRump is a fraud. He never was a good business person, starting with the two Federal Consent Decrees he had to sign for [font size = "+1" color = "purple"]racism.[/font]

De Vos is a technical expert? Perry is a technical expert? Give me a major break! His cabinet picks are no-knowing idiots, picked for their giving to him or their ideological slant, and for their willingness to blow up their posts so all the $$ can go to the rich, instead of just some of it. The scariest thing is what does Drumpf intend to do about nuclear energy. He obviously doesn't understand nuclear weapons and is the biggest danger on the earth right now with his tiny fingers and ignorant brain in charge of the button that would annihilate the world.

Nice to know. Perhaps corporate America can shift some of the money they shovel at CEO's into the pockets of all those "underlings" who do the work of figuring out and implementing.

To bad the people DT brings into his "circle" are deluded and clueless too.
