The reality is that now the agencies are run by people that feel Trump’s rants on social media are lawful orders. When things were run by adults, no one took any action until an official memorandum was received and a plan made. Now, all Trump had to say is “J…”, and all the suck-ups leap as high as they can as soon as they hear the beginning of the word.

The DOD handled this perfectly when Trump started his first term he’d make some outrageous post (like ordering all trans people out of the military) and they would just ignore it until they received official notice.
