In a stunning admission on Tuesday afternoon, President Donald Trump admitted he doesnt necessarily read every executive order he signs.
During a press conference for the signing of the executive order promoting agriculture and rural prosperity, President Trump began reading the order, before quickly putting it down and saying he didnt want to read too many words.
So this is promoting agriculture and rural prosperity in America. And now, theres a lot of words, I wont bother reading everything, Trump said. But, agriculture and rural prosperity in America. Thats what we want.
While the moment was just a quick aside before Trump went into a speech praising farmers and promising to enact policy that helps them, its important to note that Trump has never been much of a fan of reading. In an interview with Axios just prior to his inauguration, then-President-elect Trump told Politico veterans Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei that he preferred to get as few words as possible in his intelligence briefings.
