Doge isn’t a government agency—it’s a group of informal advisors, personally chosen by the president to provide insight and counsel on key executive branch matters.
Every president has relied on trusted confidants for political, professional, and personal advice—informal advisors. These advisors often have access to sensitive, and at times, classified information.
So why the sudden outrage now?
Presidents have always surrounded themselves with informal advisors. The difference?
No one seemed to mind—until now. 🙄
I will now list for you the informal advisors for three past presidents. You tell ME who we should’ve been concerned about.
