It's a team effort. But they all cater to the lowest common idiot in the room. He couldn't do it during his first pass because his appointees convinced him out of doing the worst.

Exactly what I'm trying to say! Yes, there are a lot of people enabling him, but none of them would be going down this insane path if he wasn't insisting on it
