Trump Signing Executive Orders

In this video, Trump clearly has no clue what he is signing – each time asking some flunky to explain the executive order.  In signing one of the executive orders (giving pardons) he does not know how many are being given pardons (with the flunky falsely claiming that they are all peaceful protesters).

 

Had I been the flunky, after Trump had signed an executive order – I would have announced that he had just signed his own death warrant, just to see his reaction.

Give it time Hymie!

He loves signing, he could do a deal with WHS for pens to keep em going. :0)

too early to erase your post as obviously un mimsy and insulting to the Greatest Man on Earth

Being a Trump flunkie is a bit like being a Diana flunkie -  no idea what the leader will do next

He has said " I am president, I can do anything I like,  right?" 2016

But the hacks are to blame as well - none of them had any idea whether he had a power to ban birth right citizenship status. 

No one in the Great American Republic has realised that the Founding Fathers ( slave owners n aw) had separated power of executive and judiciary by 1791.

so the President should NOT ( OK nart) be criticising judgments he doesnt like

This post will get the slaughtehouse three flapping around this thread ( scene from the Birds)

I watched to 1.46 and that was enough to tell me that with the world's press present Mr Trump wasn't about to sit for hours reading through pages of documents.  Therefore, staff gave a short synopsis which seems sensible to me and I imagine is quite usual.  Are you really that slow on the uptake, hymie, or do you just relish spin? 

Mr Trump wasn't about to sit for hours reading through pages of documents. 

Naomi do you really sign documents you have nt read?

and give out to all and sundry that actually is isnt a bad idea.  - o gawd I knew I was  heading for suspension

Peter Pedant, This isn't about me - and regarding suspension, heed the warning others have given you.

Even in my work, if someone places a document before me and asks me to sign it – I would never just accept what someone said I was signing.

At some later date, it would be no defence for me to claim I never read the document (so you can’t blame me).

I'd hazard a guess that your workload/level of responsibilty comes nowhere near that of a President of the USA, Hymie.  

Question Author

Even more reason for the president to read and understand what he is signing.

Don't be ridiculous.  

🤣

Question Author

What is ridiculous about someone with great power, reading and understanding documents that they sign – that carry/have a significant impact on the citizens of their country?

 

Not reading and understanding them would appear ridiculous to me.

Like I've said, a nutter. Trump that is, PP very clever indeed.

If it were left to Trump to explain each order, it would be a long session.

Having someone else summarize each one succinctly makes more sense.

Hymie, just like any executive at the top of any big business, Mr Trump issues instructions and has experienced and trusted people to carry out those instructions.   Whatever Mr Trump authorises is committed to paper and that is checked and checked again.   If the people in your video have picked up on some fault in what really is normal procedure hasn't it occurred to you to ask why the world's press haven't done likewise?  Of course it hasn't - because they know how it works and you don't.  The people in those videos you post always have an agenda - and you fall for it every time.

I'm sure he knows exactly what he's doing as he's signing this stuff, and as for others ... they will figure it out.

Re the above video from ELLIPSIS,

"Trump mistakes Spain for a member of the BRICS bloc and repeats the threat of massive tariffs"

Of course he known what he's signing !

and he has staffers to check them, place them in order and put them before him & as they all look identical, say which is which.

Regarding the pens, they are valued souvenirs, that is why he hands them around afterwards.

Always wanted a penfriend, think I might put it on hold for the time being, see what else comes along.

Yes, Trump makes a mistake. But the real problem is the superior way that he thinks he's right and how he tells other people that they will get it eventually ...
