Mr. President-elect:
This is a useful example of when being half-right is all wrong. You present the subjective as objective. It isn't.
PARTICULARLY in your / this case.
The purpose of DOJ is to get after dangerous criminals like you Donald. You can declare that "broken" if you wish.

"I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA!" ~ Trump
MAGAs & environmentalists alike are looking forward to the
And Donald: if you want to balance the budget why not put a tariff on rain and snow. God doesn't go bankrupt you know.
note:
In the second Trump administration there is a confluence of inadequacies converging to form executive dysfunction surpassing even Trump's previous presidency.
- Even if seemingly physically fit for his age, Trump is an old man, older than President Clinton.
- Trump is excessively ignorant about government process. He benefited from competence from his chief of staff, but seems even more determined to surround himself with "yes men" in his 2nd term.
The result is likely to be what we see in the above quotation. Trump has little if any executive authority to make such "demand" of the California governor.
Trump doesn't embarrass easily.
But he's likely to find benefit in minimizing having his ignorance exposed like this.

Fine.
Bell-curve the intelligence of a population of hundreds of million, and we'd expect some bona fide knuckleheads.
Statistically it's the price we pay for the Newton's, Franklin's, & Edison's.
The catastrophe may trace to a failure of the national public education system, the Department of Education.
Evidently a substantial segment of the U.S. electorate either isn't smart enough to recognize Trump's ham-handed guile,
or recognizes it but isn't smart enough to defend against it.
Either way, they fell for it
again.

As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. ~ H.L. Mencken
Sadly we're eye witnesses ....
