Trump walks out on signing ceremony without actually signing order

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2017/04/01/trump-walks-out-signing-ceremony-after-questions-flynn/99909002/

President Trump walked out on his own Oval Office signing ceremony without actually signing his two executive orders on trade.

Trump's abrupt departure from Friday's ceremony came after a reporter shouted questions about the president's former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, who has offered to testify before Congress on Russian involvement in the U.S. election in return for immunity from prosecution.

Flynn resigned from the job in February amid revelations he misled Vice President Mike Pence and other top White House officials about his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States.

Reporters reacted with surprise when Trump left the room without signing his orders. Brian Teff of ABC Action News in Philadelphia called it "a hugely awkward moment."





This man is such a thin-skinned child. He can't handle any kind of confrontation or disagreement. He's guilty as sin.

The way he walks -- or rather lumbers-- out of the room, shoulders and head down, and it looks as if his mind is already out of the room. Very strange.

He could always escape bad stuff when he was the CEO. Not so being President. I can't wait till he's gone.
