You overlook other possible scenarios :-
1 He is acting but privately takes orders from the Justice Socialists
2 Acting but takes orders filtered through Schumer and Pelosi . More likely, imo .
3. Acting but takes orders from others :-
This might be from a 'new' Deep State faction that is preparing for a big shift and when he will disappear .
Or , it could be from theMilitary because of the hold they have over him re various criminal conspiracies , possibly linked to China and Ukraine with bulk standard family
corruption for good measure .
But it seems unlikely that Sleepy has any semblance of control over what he does or says . He is simply serving as a useful short term door stop .
But for whom ? Obummer , Trump , Kerry , AN Other ?
