Donald Trump signs executive order

while admitting he doesn’t know what it says.

>"The incident consisted of Donald Trump opening up the folder containing an executive order, professing not to know what it said and pretending to read a bit of it. He then asked the woman standing next to him, who wrote the executive order, to explain to the cameras what it in fact said. By the end of the clip it became clear that he had no idea who the woman was, or what her name was, referring to her hesitantly as “this very special person.”<

    I couldn't understand what he said at the start and looked for a longer version. He signs another one right before this and says what he's doing on that one. Still incompetent, but I don't trust Palmer report anymore. The woman in green did steal our saving though by writing this.

    I also expect he has a 3rd or 4th grade reading level.
