his administration is, but trump himself didn't do anything. presidents are just the puppet of their admin.

what do you mean how does that work? i doubt trump himself is actually making these calls. just his administration and advisors.

Yes, the advisors make priorities, but the president has the power to overrule them (see Syria 2019, which pitted one group of advisors at the expense of others).

technically the queen has the power to veto acts of parliament, but she doesn't. in this case i think it is also appropriate to say that even if the president does have the power to overrule, blame shouldn't be directed towards him. never was a fan of trump but i think youre pointin at the wrong nigga.
