The Department of Justice told a federal judge that they had no idea what Trump was talking about as they were caught off guard by his Census citizenship question tweet.

The DOJ has no idea what Trump is talking about

The saga continues:

In other words, the DOJ had no idea what Trump was talking about:

The judge is concerned about Trump’s tweet because the president can’t delay the Census, but the Department of Justice, which is within the Trump administration, has no idea what the president was talking about. Trump has no idea what he is talking about either, so all of the parties involved in this insane drama are totally confused.

Here is what is going to happen. If the forms are being printed, it’s over. Trump is not going to get his citizenship question included in the Census. The DOJ gave up on this yesterday, but then President Crazy Train issued a tweet that required a federal judge to call the DOJ to the carpet to demand an explanation, and they don’t have. Heck, they don’t even have their lead attorney on the case, because he is on vacation.

This still ends with Trump not getting his Census citizenship question.

The DOJ is going through the motions to keep Trump from getting upset, but it is all more Trump chaos that is going nowhere fast.
