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.

Your role doesn't sound in any way comparable to that of a president of USA. I think he also knows he has a team that is fully supportive at the moment, he has a mandate for the next 4 years and can afford to look at the wider picture and not get bogged down in detail or worry about the odd mistake.

When I was a Manager I checked everything I signed off - that's the whole point of having such a sign off process - to block any untoward manouvres.

If you fully trust the folk who prepare it, why bother with the sign-off, just let them get on with it. 

It was for show.

 

Question Author

My mate Phil has no input to the reports, which are very technical in nature – depending on the company’s internal process, some of the reports I sign off are then signed off by another.

 

It is rare, but sometimes it happens that an error is discovered in a report having two sign offs, resulting in the report being corrected and re-issued.

He can't be expected to read these documents in detail.

Having said that I'm not sure he knows or cares what is in them beyond the basic gist of it.

It is the authors of project 2025 that are now controlling the agenda.

not readin a cheque before signing it ( because it was only leedol)

I think that me and my piles are gonna get an  outing to the naughty step

I believe that Trump only operates by word of mouth (bit like a Mafia boss). Apparently he can't read anything longer than a tweet, and his nudgers make sure they are the last one to speak to him before he announces anything of import. He probably will not last much longer. If the 'third term' amendment gets through we might see a modification that lets him nominate his successor. Interesting times ahead.

So, the questions remain: do you think the 30 delegates who signed the Lisbon Treaty read every word of the very copy they signed before putting their signature to it? Do you think the King does likewise with all the Acts of Parliament he is required to authorise? You never know. A rogue lackey might have slipped in the odd unwanted paragraph.

Or is it only President Trump you would criticise for "signing blind" in this way. 

Whatever the answer to those questions, I hope you'll agree that to compare the signing of State documents by a Head of State (especially in a ceremonial setting) to your employer's sign-off requirements for control purposes, is just a little ridiculous.

Kim Jong Don Junior.

You saw it here first.

trump pardoned people loyal to him who have assaulted police officers

what a sinister message that sends

This must be the most absurd thread ever.

Why do you say that Khandro?

"Why do you say that Khandro?"

Well I am thinking on similar lines. Whilst it may not be the most absurd ever, it must rank high on the list of absurdities. For my reasoning, I quote from my earlier answer:

"... to compare the signing of State documents by a Head of State (especially in a ceremonial setting) to your employer's sign-off requirements for control purposes, is just a little ridiculous."

I quoted two examples of documents being signed where it was clearly neither practical nor desirable to expect the signatories to read the entire document before signing it. Answer came there none.

What we got was absurdity v2.0, where the wording on one of the documents was forensically dismembered, suggesting that The President should have got involved in a discussion in advanced embryonics before signing.

shouldn't this thread bear the title

"following the advice in thsi thread may severley damaged  you wealth !

Jesus

the signatories to read the entire document before signing it. Answer came there none.

yeah foo I expected the signers to have read what they signed - I am weird like that

 

Was that a couple of blokes in white coats i saw outside your house five minutes ago Peter?

I don't think that DJT has a 'boss'; like President Truman before him, "The buck stops here".

Word is that he's already written his own, similar version on a Big Mac box with one of his bigly crayons, just slightly more vulgar.

and oh Ynni - before i go - I have  a cheque I  have written in your name that you might like  to sign....Nothng special - just give us your moniker...

I have asked the Ed to label this thread as "Gormless class 3 tending on 4"

( King  Charles reading every word of a bill he is about to sign - and from  a judge - Oh Gawd!)
