Get used to this: America elects a president who does not do things in conventional ways, in large part because Americans have lost faith in the political class's conventional ways of doing things. So here comes the new president, not following convention because he has little use for it.
The political class, which despises this man and refuses to accept that there could possibly be anything wrong with the way they've always done things, reacts to the new president's every eschewing of convention by proclaiming: He's so stupid! He doesn't know how things are done!
