(7,939 posts)It's literally the "walk like you belong here without stopping and nobody will question you" taken to an extreme. Trump doesn't know how government works, but that is no problem because he doesn't care; if his orders aren't carried out he'll find someone who will do it or do it himself, never mind established rules and regulations and checks and balances.
We had a new trainee at work whom everyone was impressed with for a couple weeks because he was handling a large number of tasks incredibly efficiently and quickly and we all wondered what his secret was. Turns out, he was submitting high-level escalation forms himself that he was supposed to turn over to an advanced team who knew all the extra intricacies and regulations to review and eventually submit to the payments team if valid. He was completing his work quickly because he was bypassing review, and payments assumed everything was good to go and didn't bother checking because the normal team was trained not to submit invalid payments. He of course was eventually fired and it took weeks to sort out all the damage he did. Skipping the process gave him time to wrongly accomplish a lot.
