We’ve had presidential administrations with poor advisors before, but to my knowledge none so avowedly ignorant… From the Mount Vernon website’s section on GW’s Presidency-[-a relevant object in the collection](http://www.mountvernon.org/preservation/collections-holdings/the-material-culture-of-the-presidency/): > [@](#): > > In 1789 George Washington received this custom-bound copy of the _Acts of Congress_, which included the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. His signature appears on the title page, and he pasted his engraved armorial bookplate on the inside front cover. In a highly unusual move, Washington made several annotations in the margins of this volume (he typically took notes on separate sheets of paper while reading). In the text of the Constitution, he marked the passages relating to the powers of the President, clearly preparing for the unprecedented leadership role he had recently assumed. Washington had presided over the Convention that produced the Constitution. It hadn’t been called the Constitutional Convention–because most of the delegates just thought they were going to tune up the Articles of Confederacy, not totally replace them. Alexander Hamilton had sent Washington the _Federalist_ essays as they came out. But he still felt he needed to study up for the job… ---

To be fair, and god I hate to do that, the soon-to-be TOTUS (Twit of the United States) tweeted: > [@](#): > > 4,331 shooting victims with 762 murders in 2016. If Mayor can’t do it he must ask for Federal help! So, he didn’t necessarily demand that Chicago let the feds take over entirely, just that they ask the feds for help. What he means by that is not clear to me. Maybe clarification will be forthcoming in 140 characters at 3:00 tomorrow morning. ---

He could try stating what the mayor could do to curb the violence and why he’s not doing that. And what the feds could do different. I suspect he has a plan like the one he has to deal with ISIS. ---

> [@Bayard](#): > > Hey, now! That might require spanning two or–gasp!–maybe even three tweets. That’s asking an awful lot, isn’t it? Yes, because it would require an attention span of more than five minutes. I predict we’ll either 1) never hear another word about this, or 2) Trump will promise a press conference to expand on the idea and then that will never happen. It’s a pattern. ---
