Trump Says He Never Signed Alien Wars Proclamation

Saturday, March 22, 2025

President Donald Trump on Friday downplayed his involvement in invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport Venezuelan migrants, saying for the first time that he hadn't signed the proclamation, even as he stood by his administration's move. "I don't know when it was signed, because I didn't sign it," Trump told reporters before leaving the White House on Friday evening.

"The proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act appears in the Federal Register with Trump's signature at the bottom.

Hours after the president made his comments on Friday, the White House claimed that Trump was not talking about whether he signed the document last week."

The Lyin' King strikes again! Looks like he actually enjoys blaming Little Marco for everything, too.

Sociopaths do this of course: Lie about doing something that everyone can see that they did.

If there were only two of you in a room and Trump farted, he's blame it on you.

If he didn't sign the proclamation, doesn't that mean his victims were kidnapped?

Odds are 90% of everything the dump says is a lie. So using that logic, he did.

It was the Auto Sharpie, in the Oval Office, during "executive time."

Probably.

If you ---- your pants every day,
if you were a grown man wearing a diaper because of all the coke you snorted in the 80s and 90s,
back when your dick still got hard,
you'd think of memory loss as a blessing.

It says right at the top ...

"By the President of the United States."

So it was obviously from Co-President Musk and signed by Autopen. Which by Trumpy Rulz makes it invalid anyway.

There are four scenarios possible here:
-El Rey Dotardo II signed the document and is now lying about it
-he signed it but didn't know or realize what he signed
-auto-sign was used at his direction, blowing up his threat to try to revoke pardons from Diamond Joe
-auto-sign was used without his permission, meaning there is a rogue operative in the WH

None of these scenarios are good for the fat orange criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat, and for all Americans ...

And now his staff is trying to clean up by saying he was referring to the original document that was signed in 1798! ROFLMAO

I guess that is better than admitting that he didn't sign, but the 1798 Act? Come on guy. Say he forgot or misspoke or something but not the 1798 Act!

I guess if he thought there were airports during the Revolutionary War, it's not that big of a leap to thinking that he signed the 1798 Act.
