Summary
Trump claimed ignorance regarding the use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants, stating he did not sign the order and that “other people handled it.”
Despite Trump’s claim, CNN confirmed the executive order bears his signature.
A federal judge ordered the deportation flights halted, but the administration defied the order, citing it as verbal and nonbinding.
Trump and his administration criticized the judge, with Attorney General Pam Bondi asserting the judiciary has no authority to challenge immigration decisions.
If Joe Biden had claimed he didn’t sign something after he obviously did, the top story would have been all about whether he still had the mental competence to lead…
Didn’t he say the other day that Biden’s pardons are not valid because he didn’t personally sign them? Does this make Trump’s expulsion orders also not valid? Ah sorry it only counts when other people do it.
Also he just admitted he just signs whatever and had no idea what he just signed actually contains. Either that or these “other people” faked his signature which is another can of work on its own. Maybe he’ll blame it on the deep state lol.
Such a clown show it puts professional clowns to shame.
Ah so it was autopen. Then it needs rescinding doesn’t it according to your own logic.
Dick head.
Also just confirms he isn’t running the show. The “deep state” and his “handlers” are, according to MAGA logic.
Dick heads.
Afraid of everything, a coward given all the power of the executive and capable of only whining, shifting blame, and scapegoating the working class and poor. How evil do you have to be to deny asylum seekers and refugees?

So… someone else is drafting EO’s and using his signature? How exactly is that better?
The Act itself requires a Presidential proclamation before the powers can be invoked.
It almost resembles a Nuremberg plea speech.
He denied any association with project 2025 despite many members of his administration writing it. He also said ukraine started their war. He also says canada doing anything except becoming the 51st state is escalating the economic warfare canada started. He calls the trade deal he signed with Canada a terrible deal and asks who the hell signed it. He knows the internet has rotted our memories and attention spans and hes trying to rewrite history to his favour with that knowledge. The scary part is, it’s working.
I mean, it’s in the federal register with his signature on it: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-03-20/pdf/2025-04865.pdf
There’s no way to know if it was done with autopen, his hands, or some intern using the Annotate->Add Signature feature on their MacBook or whatever but his signature is on it.
Orwell, please stop predicting things.
We already knew that Putin is the fucking president.
This nutgobbler has never taken accountability for anything.
So his sycophants have convinced him to hand over the keys and let him play golf. I’m sure this will play out poorly.
