Summary
Trump claimed ignorance regarding the use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants, stating he did not sign the order and that “other people handled it.”
Despite Trump’s claim, CNN confirmed the executive order bears his signature.
A federal judge ordered the deportation flights halted, but the administration defied the order, citing it as verbal and nonbinding.
Trump and his administration criticized the judge, with Attorney General Pam Bondi asserting the judiciary has no authority to challenge immigration decisions.
If Joe Biden had claimed he didn’t sign something after he obviously did, the top story would have been all about whether he still had the mental competence to lead…
We watched this man fail to operate a car door, we’re beyond reason
Link?
Not trying to be rude here, but this ain’t it. This sort of thing happens to me a lot due to hypotension and I’m perfectly mentally capable. Criticize the shit he says, not his physical struggles/disability. This just normalizes ableism. A disabled person can very well be capable of leading.
Thanks. I have had similar things happen to me while not paying attention…
The whole thing was computer, he was expecting an automatic I’m guessing
Trump claimed ignorance
How many times has Trump done this? And he wants us to fear him?
This nutgobbler has never taken accountability for anything.
You have to be alert for good news. Otherwise it’s all too depressing.
This is truly good news. He is lining up the first round of sycophants to throw under the bus.
He denied any association with project 2025 despite many members of his administration writing it. He also said ukraine started their war. He also says canada doing anything except becoming the 51st state is escalating the economic warfare canada started. He calls the trade deal he signed with Canada a terrible deal and asks who the hell signed it. He knows the internet has rotted our memories and attention spans and hes trying to rewrite history to his favour with that knowledge. The scary part is, it’s working.
History teaches us that the biggest lies are the most believed.
Let’s hope that any of his statements are being looked at critically by MAGA. The rest of us know he’s a liar.
The Act itself requires a Presidential proclamation before the powers can be invoked.
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault. <— We are here
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
And this is coming from the same guy who claims Biden’s pardons are invalid because he used an auto pen instead of physically signing each one.
Every accusation is a confession
As with all good leaders, the buck stops… uh, over there somewhere.
So, he’s admitting he’s ignorant and not in control of this administration. I wonder if his worshipers will ever notice that their idol isn’t the one pulling the strings?
Luckily, for him, absolute cognitive dissonance is a prerequisite to being a Trumpist.
Ok, I’m going to get hate for this but cognitive dissonance is not a pejorative or a synonym for hypocrisy. It’s a feeling one gets from holding conflicting cognitions that provokes further thought. I doubt his fans experience it at all as ‘trump said so’ is enough to make anything make sense to them.
Youre right, the correct terminology here is “doublethink”
Didn’t he say the other day that Biden’s pardons are not valid because he didn’t personally sign them? Does this make Trump’s expulsion orders also not valid? Ah sorry it only counts when other people do it.
Also he just admitted he just signs whatever and had no idea what he just signed actually contains. Either that or these “other people” faked his signature which is another can of work on its own. Maybe he’ll blame it on the deep state lol.
Such a clown show it puts professional clowns to shame.
Probably saw some of the impeach comments on social media. It still galls me the folks that want to treat things from maga with the same weight as democrats or any other political figure. When you are a bald face liar no one should believe you without massive evidence what you say is true. I have known and sorta assume it was prevalent enough that most other folks knew, that person, that friend, maybe that family member ; who is always full of shit. You hear something from them and you assume its bs unless someone more credible mentions it and then maybe you put some effort to look into it.
The buck stops somewhere else.
JFC can he not take even the slightest criticism without shirking his responsibility? What a sad joke he is.
I mean, it’s in the federal register with his signature on it: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-03-20/pdf/2025-04865.pdf
There’s no way to know if it was done with autopen, his hands, or some intern using the Annotate->Add Signature feature on their MacBook or whatever but his signature is on it.
So his sycophants have convinced him to hand over the keys and let him play golf. I’m sure this will play out poorly.
He probably did sign the order. He’s just too cowardly to admit it.
We need laws so that politicians who lie can face repercussions
