The mix-up is merely the latest example of Trump botching congressional procedure, the Constitution and other details about how the U.S. government works. Other Trump flubs have involved his apparent unfamiliarity with the Constitution or a disregard for its limitations. Trump has also often suggested that trade deficits are bad because that means money is leaving the U.S. economy. Trump seems not just unfamiliar with how government and the Constitution works, but also willing to ignore basic facts to sell his own spin. Many of these examples — including on trade, impeachment and the disaster relief bill — are very recent.
