The article discusses recent Executive Orders signed by Trump, highlighting his questionable understanding of their implications. Notably, Trump's inability to clarify the pardons he granted raises concerns about his engagement with these significant decisions. Additionally, suspicions arise around the role of Stephen Miller in drafting the orders, as inconsistencies and errors suggest a lack of oversight. Two Executive Orders specifically, addressing free speech and perceived federal overreach, warrant further examination due to their contentious nature and involvement with conspiracy theories pushed by specific political figures.
At least in response to questioning from journalists yesterday, Trump had - or feigned - a very limited understanding of some of the Executive Orders he has signed in the last two days.
With Trump, one should always start with the assumption he's engaged in a con, but it really is possible he only vaguely understands some of what he just signed.
There are at least two Executive Orders that have Stephen Miller's name all over them which deserve closer scrutiny: One claiming to "restor[e] freedom of speech and end[] federal censorship..."
Both have the same structure. They order the Attorney General (and the Director of National Intelligence, in the weaponizing EO) to go chase down conspiracy theories spawned by Jim Jordan.
