Guy Benson: It’s Not Unusual for a President to Delegate Responsibility Like Trump Has Done with Musk
EXCERPT:
BENSON: "I know it's hard to grok for some people, and you might have some issues with some of the things DOGE is doing and how they're doing it, that's fine. But this puzzlement over is any of this legal? Who's really in charge? The president's elected. He puts a team in place."
DOOCY: "Right."
BENSON: "He delegates responsibility. And there's a chain of command. Donald Trump is not sitting at his desk all day --"
DOOCY: "Right."
BENSON: "-- looking at line items, right? He has given that responsibility to several other people --"
DOOCY: "Right."
BENSON: "-- who are overseen by Elon Musk. This is not a mystery. In many ways, it's not unusual in our government."
DOOCY: "Right."
BENSON: "But I guess it has to be spelled out for some of the people who are at least playing dumb."
