"Working towards the Fuhrer" which was "a term used to describe how individuals and institutions in Nazi Germany acted in accordance with what they believed to be Hitler's wishes, even without explicit instruction". So Dear Leader only has to imply what he wants without actually saying it and people like Rubio will infer what he means and act accordingly. "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?".
