I know Trump like to feign ignorance of something his administration does when he thinks it's not going well for him politically, but he sure seems to be doing it a lot lately. There are times where he really doesn't seem to know what is going on in his admin.

While it is understandable to focus attention on Trump’s attacks on democracy and the rule of law, we must not lose sight of the fact that it is the Republican Congress enabling his authoritarianism. Ignoring their complicity in Trump’s actions is a mistake—both legally and strategically.
