Just in : Trump appears to have tonight actually only signed one Executive Order that extends rental evictions during the coronavirus pandemic. Other three documents were memoranda, per White House release.

He signed the one about rental evictions.

Fucking clown.

1. the King looks like he has issued some edicts

that is all he and his dumbass followers care about. he can now lie about it until the election.

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. all he does are bad infomercials!

[malaise]

10. Nailed it

[PatSeg]

17. Exactly

and with a preselected audience, who conveniently are paying members of his golf club. That's even better than paying actors to be in your audience.

He really is bad at this. I am always surprised that anyone is buying it.

13. A measured decree...

For the congress rethugs. Keep a roof over their heads, or feed them...

Will they be able to add votes or lose? No feelings for the needs of the masses..

[Takket]

2. WTF? So none of these things are actually happening?

EO was dubious enough but memorandum cannot possibly carry and legal weight.

[SeattleVet]

8. Actually, they do...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_memorandum

A presidential memorandum is a type of directive issued by the president of the United States to manage and govern the actions, practices, and policies of the various departments and agencies found under the executive branch of the United States government. It has the force of law and is usually used to delegate tasks, direct specific government agencies to do something, or to start a regulatory process.[1] There are three types of presidential memoranda: presidential determination or presidential finding, memorandum of disapproval, and hortatory memorandum.[2]

Sometimes used interchangeably, an executive order is a more prestigious form of executive action that must cite the specific constitutional or statutory authority the president has to use it.[1] Unlike executive orders, memoranda are not required by law to be published in the Federal Register, but publication is necessary in order to have "general applicability and legal effect".[3] The Federal Register gives publication priority to executive orders and presidential proclamations over memoranda.[4] Memoranda can be amended or rescinded by executive orders or another memorandum, but executive orders take legal precedence and cannot be changed by a memorandum.[3]

3. Such a carnival barking fraudster. Nt

5. So is his strategy to pretend as if his weightless memoranda are being held up in court?

By Democrats?

How many lies are we at now? 50000? He needs to be removed from office today!

[CaptYossarian]

6. His cult thinks he allows the sun to rise in the morning.

The memoranda are considered more Commandments.

We can call this "ass" hysteria.

7. Okay, my new name for him is "Shit for brains".

[Kali]

16. new?

[greatauntoftriplets]

19. Usually, I call him Spanky or the marmalade shartcannon or drumpf.

SFB is new for me.

[Kali]

20. I called him spanky for a while

but it is almost too cute/good for him.

[greatauntoftriplets]

21. I liked the Stormy Daniels connection and how it demonstrated what a slimewad he is.

It seemed appropriate because Melodrama was home with a baby then and he's out there playing sex games with a porn star.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

9. what a joke

[Buckeyeblue]

11. His strategy is to lie about what's in the Democrats' bill

So he can somehow look reasonable. But everything he does is a lie. If he's talking, he's lying. I suspect he's been this way for most of his life, which is why he does it so effortlessly. You call him on it, he doubles down, gets pissed off and storms out.

The art of the con is this: the con never stops. The con is on 24/7.

12. Quick translation: campaign photo op.

[PatSeg]

18. Yes

And one that is paid for by taxpayers, not his campaign. He's turning pretty much everything into a campaign event.

[no_hypocrisy]

14. Won't Trump be called on this when the $400 checks don't arrive this week?

[MoonRiver]

15. Wow, Idiot still thinks everyone is a total moron, like him!
