Donald Trump’s nine-word question to aide about executive order raises alarm bells

https://www.indy100.com/politics/trump/donald-trump-nuclear-executive-order

US president Donald Trump signed several new executive orders on Friday, but not without causing concern – again - around whether the Republican actually knows what he’s doing.

Alongside an EO about “restoring gold standard science”, Trump was also handed three orders pertaining to nuclear energy, including reform of nuclear reactor testing at the Department of Energy and nuclear energy production.

After an aide explained the context around the EOs, Trump asked him: “Are we doing something about the regulatory in here?” The official replied: “Yes, sir, you are. That issue I just described will be addressed in this EO.”

Erm… one of the four executive orders you signed on Friday is genuinely titled ‘Ordering the reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission”, Donald. And so, the basic question asked by the US president about an order he was about to put his name to has concerned social media users who think he “doesn’t know” what he is signing:

1. If it's about regulations, he's against it

and that's the sum of his policies across the board.

5. He's a fucking tool!

I remember seeing a video from earlier this year where his aides were handing him document after document to sign. They gave him a child-like explanation of each document before he signed them. It was pretty scary. The dementia has taken over and he's just barely aware of what's going on around him.

6. too bad some patriot couldn't, ya know...

slip something into the middle of all the big words creating a null and void clause.
