If people who worked FOR me gave me a piece of paper that told me what to say during my phone call with someone else, it would be all I could do not to crumple it up and throw it in their faces.
The President of the United States is not an actor whose job it is to read from a script that is dictated by his subordinates. Cultural and legal equality do not mean that every hierarchy is obsolete.
It is one thing for a President to tell a speechwriter what he or she wants to convey and then to approve, modify or reject what the speechwriter produces. It is something else, for people who know that the White House is surrounded by a selectively honest and unreservedly hostile media, to tell the President what to say, in substance and in detail, and to then bawl to the media when he says what he wants to say instead. The former is time management; the latter is the groundwork for a puppet Presidency and is sinister.
It matters that there are new sanctions against Russia, although perhaps they won't do much good.

I am sorry for the plight of the poisoned people. I also don't recall Great Britain denouncing the promotion of sexual harassment, voyeurism, stalking, child molestation or femicide that started in the United States and that has proliferated all over the world since President Obama threw me, women, children, and human rights to the conglomerate to bolster his own popularity with the media, the entertainment industry and several corporations, while entire countries fell apart from the international neglect and dissolution caused by the moral implosion of the American power structure.
If Great Britain or other countries imposed sanctions on the United States for promoting human rights abuses, I didn't hear about that, either.

It matters that the President was not rejecting advice given to him by his national security advisor.

Maybe everything that was written in the now infamous TrumpPrompt (my description) was brilliant and pertinent; even if it were, I don't know that it can be said conclusively that a brief, post-election phone call was the time to talk about everything that was written by those attention-seeking White House employees.
I have now spent a few hours standing and sitting in my own blood, 8 years after a Democratic President decided that his popularity was more important than human rights. I also congratulated some people today; I congratulated the conglomerate for pushing me past both sanity and decorum. Only an imbecile could think that those congratulations were sincere.
If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Obama hasn't stopped messing with me:
I am a Democrat, despite how the Democratic Party has treated me since 2010.
