Right wing news reports that Trump signed an executive order to help teens transition from foster care, then invited his wife to add her "ceremonial" signature to the order -- after bragging that they didn't use autopens.
The reports say that he asked her to sign because of her concern for youth and because, he said, "she speaks five languages -- which are her native Slovenian, English, French, German, Italian and a Serbo-Croation legacy language." (For the record that's six languages.)
Imagine the meltdown if Jill Biden, an educator, had done that for any cause....

(6,068 posts)she signs an Executive Order. Well, I guess that makes sense to Trump anyhow...
The number of languages she speaks (sort of) must be related somehow to the number of wars Trump has stopped.
