How the hell does a private citizen get such power?
He's not a confirmed secretary
He's not even a U.S. citizen.
correction because any misinfo is bad: he is indeed a US citizen (he became one in 2002) however he’s ineligible to run for president, and when he was running his startups was in the country illegally, or working counter to the conditions of his visa or something to that effect
Same way Trump's family did in his first term.
