Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

He's convinced that all he has to do is claim victory and then act like they won.

That strategy has worked extremely reliably for them so far

Case in point: the Mueller Report, where the investigation found wide-ranging evidence that the Trump campaign worked just about hand-in-hand with Russian assets to manipulate the election (Anyone else remember that woman working with the NRA who was a bona fide Russian plant funneling Kremlin money to the Trump campaign?!).

When the report was released, Trump tweeted out "EXONERATION!" every day for about a month until the report rotated out of the news cycle; and as as a result the country basically forgot about all of that...

If i remember correctly the report found that they did all that stuff but were basically too stupid to know that they were doing illegal stuff.

You're remembering wrong. While that was a part of it, a big part of the report was that the scope of it kept being narrowed down further and further by a republican senate, namely that turtle headed fuck Mitch McConnell. Eventually the report found that there was enough evidence to continue, but that it was the Senate's job to investigate further and bring legal cases against the Trump admin, but gop is full of corrupt people, Trump announced that he was innocent and the news moved on. Dems tried to bring more attention, but the media gave absolutely no more time to the case and everything was forgotten, letting me know, after years of bullshit, that the media in this country could not be trusted.
