I see news about the ties and references twice a week in my feeds and I follow sources, left, right and center. 
Every time he has a rally twitter is chock full of pundits outlining all the talking points that fit pro.2025

The only problem I have with any of the quotes from people in the Key Facts is 1: that's what they're saying he said and 2: Trump says so many things, a lot of crazy things, so it's hard to know if half of what he says is something he actually has knowledge of or if he's saying something just to get a word in. I think most of the time he's talking without knowing what he's actually commenting on so it looks like he knows about it when he really doesn't. 

Narcissists love to hear themselves talk; love to make people think they know everything; will praise the 'little guy' because it makes him/her look good and they think the 'little guy' basks in his/her praise. 

I think it was Homebiscuit who pointed out in the Debate thread that he's an executive level guy who only knows so much about what's actually going on in any given situation and pays his middlemen to know details. I think there is definitely something to that. Regardless of who is POTUS, they only have so much knowledge about anything at any given time and is why he has VP, SoS, SECDEF, etc., to know specifics in order to handle situations and the POTUS is told the Cliff's Notes versions. This is true of CEOs of any company. 

Maybe Trump is legit in on this but I don't blindly trust he said/she said people who possibly have motive to say what they're saying.
