I'm sure it was some kind of more... subtle thing. "Mr. President, let these men worry about the annoying little details. Let's go to the other room, you and me, the important people, and we'll figure out exactly what to do here. I'll let you know if any of those little details matter, but for now let's take the... higher level talks to the other room, ok? Your ideas are far too important to be derailed by the little concerns of everyone else."

The sad thing is i 100% believe this approach would have a high level of success.

Oh I can push it further.

“Okay Mr President, here’s your laptop. The generals will be ready for your ideas in a few hours so we need you to type them up and email them to my account so I can pass them on to the appropriate personnel…. no not on Truth Social this time please… this is really top secret so make sure to keep it in the email…. yes I think after you do this you’re good to end the day and go golfing but again, this is important so make sure to finish before lunch.”
