Honestly, I think both are plausible. I think they put things in front of him, and he signs it (and there's video footage of this; https://x.com/ArtCandee/status/1882531252735242622); all this stuff about Biden's autopen running the show is projection. I think they've given him the ballroom project to keep him occupied.

Maybe they just want to see him playing in the asbestos dust

That's far too long-term a plan for someone of his age, unfortunately.

Consider the possibility he ran only because the alternative was a conviction for the DC case or the documents case. And that he is only interested in enriching himself, paying back the Stephen Millers and Russell Voughts who got him back in office, and playing golf.

It doesn't make it better or worse, it just means the policies aren't his but the agenda of various puppetteers.
