That's how he referred to how "smoothly" his White House has been running.
Stood there and just LIED and LIED and LIED.
There have been too many articles and interviews and leaks such about just what a colossal clusterfuck things are in his White House now. That so-called "fine-tuned machine" must have the dirtiest, most gummy, and trash-filled "oil" in the works that any mechanic has ever seen! It's full of people who've never done work like this before, NO experience in government, backbiting and backstabbing all over the place, scheming and arguing and no inter-communication or coordination, and what work is being done is sloppy and slipshod as all hell. They can't even get their stories straight! Depending on which aide is talking and what time it is on any given day, you're going to get completely wrong, incorrect, incomplete, and conflicting statements. And they're not anywhere near fully staffed yet.
