President Donald Trump downplayed his involvement in invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1789 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.

Ummmmm, according to press secretary MAGA Barbie, you most certainly did sign it. Oh wait was she lying? are you lying? I think someone is and Teflon Trump never ever takes responsibility for anything that might look like it’s a problem. Who will he throw under the bus? Hey, Marco….
"I'm not responsible for anything happening, I'm just playing president on TV." Tune into Nightmare at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave S2, it makes for good television. 🙄🙄🙄 Unserious people should not be in charge of anything!
This slime-ball traitor dictator Russian Spy plant

Just made forklift sounds…
knows that he just basically committed war crimes by putting innocent folks in a death camp.
TELL THE TRUTH CNN!!!
Trump is in big trouble. It looks lkke he has committed a felony in lying about signing the proclamation and has resorted to throwing others under a bus.
The "Nuremberg defense," was a prominent argument used by Nazi officials in the post-WWII Nuremberg trials, claiming they were merely carrying out orders from superiors, but this defense was rejected by the court.
Doesn't this call for a full investigation? He is the only one who can sign that. Who is running the country? Who is making these decisions? What is Trump's role?
"President Trump was obviously referring to the original Alien Enemies Act that was signed back in 1798,” a White House statement said." 😂😂😂😂 Nice try. 😁
if he didn’t sign it, that means no one has “official orders” to remove anyone - if he did sign it, he got caught lying yet again … so which is it??? No proclamation because he didn’t sign one, or did he really sign one and now is lying to cover up the fact
And then she says he was referring to the original act signed in 1778. They just dont care anymore. And they dont have to. Maga will believe anything. Space lazers anyone?
Some reporter should ask Trump which is the true: 1) That he's lying that he didn't sign the Alien Enemies Act order, or 2) That he hasn't a fuqqing clue what's what anymore and evil surrogates are running the White House for him.
what you’re seeing isn’t what’s happening.
they’ll tell us later what we saw. and then, 10 days later, they can tell us that we didn’t see what they told us we saw.
see?
So when are you, @cnn.com, @nytimes.com, @msnbc.com, @washingtonpost.com, @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social , @latimes.com and other MSM going to shine a bright spotlight (more than once) on denials and discrepancies such as this?
“Downplayed his involvement”? What a weak statement. How about cowardly denied accountability for creating a fascist leadership? Threatening harm to all of our citizens.
Trump's attempt at distancing his actions and looking for a fall guy. Typical Trump. His signature should be enough for articles of impeachment, violating the oath he took to protect the Constitutional right of citizens under due process.
Invoking a 200+ year old WARTIME laws to circumvent the constitution annd violate peoples rights then lying about it is grounds for impeachment (which his toads will never do) or REVOLUTION AGAINST TYRANICAL STATE.
Sounds like he thinks it might end up getting somebody sent to jail, and he doesn't want it to be himself. "Seriously officer, it was all that Homan guy's idea. I don't even know the guy. I maybe met him once."
That is his whole thing , he acts like a King and puts all the other shit on others so they will be accused of the shit he is doing ,therefore his hands are clean and the uneducated or cult members will say he is innocent
"President Trump was obviously referring to the original Alien Enemies Act that was signed back in 1798"
it's amazing, he's very very stupid and they think we're even more stupid.
Well, clearly then, if he didn’t sign it, someone forged his signature. Sounds like a crime to me - forgery. Unless…. Trump was lying??? Is that possible?
He's saying he did not sign a proclamation that is in the Federal Register with his signature on it. Which means either he is lying, or someone forged his signature.
Apparently British 🇬🇧 people visiting the states now have to carry their passports with them at all times in the US. It’s hardly practical when you’re a tourist because it could get lost or stolen. Yet this is where we are.
i live in Greece and by law i am supposed to have my passport on me at all times,being British i know i would get a chance to go and get it but if i was any other third nation country,i could be in trouble. America is not a place i have eve wanted to visit but i wouldn't go now if you paid me too.
When democrats come in charge....tear down all confederate-related material and anything that promotes a racist character. And find the white nationalist racists in this country and treat them like terrorists and send them to an offshore prison. Only solution.
Anyone left @cnn.com willing to do ACTUAL reporting of the facts and the stakes, like, for instance, who tf did sign it. Seems like an important point.
He’s incompetent, a puppet & those around him are making dangerous chilling decisions. He’s just saying yay or nay. When is @cnn going to report this fact. He’s incapable of governing.
You guys smell that? It smells like bull💩! 💩 come out his mouth all the time. The swamp they said that was in DC is now sewer waste station! You can smell it across the nation! Nasty smelly sewer water. Trump waste station.
On a day when Trump is threatening to close down Social Security, you will not find in https://CNN.com any coverage. Just a days-old story about the man who was declared dead and isn’t.
He really can't go around touting that his administration's unconstitutional actions are actually covered by a presidential proclamatiom and then be like "but I didn't sign it!"
Either he did and this voids it, or didn't and it was never valid. Whichever, his statement should nullify it now.
Still seeing where this is going, but sort of. The thing is that they clearly didn't want anyone to realize that this was happening, and then they were in court before planes had even landed.
So now we get oversight, and have to hope that Boesberg isn't a coward or a tool.
At one moment he claims to be “commander and chief” of the most powerful nation in the world…then he claims I had nothing to do with it….how convenient! Another Trump moment of sending someone down the river to save his ass!
The video shows the migrants hair and facial hair being cut, why?? Handcuffed behind their back, leg chains and pushing their body down while walking them to be transported. shocking to see America militias actions. stop the loss of democracy @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov
The Trumpet, at the first sign of revolt, happily throws Rubix under the bus.
Well done everyone, the president who only takes responsibility for the 'good' victories.
So his WH staff lied in the Federal Register.
Not shocking, but a stupid paper trail. Which also begs the question how he can "distance" himself from that record.
Oh, you don't want to say he's senile. I get it.
Who the fuck is running the country???!!! Why are you guys not on this issue? You fuckers hunted down Biden for every single error as senile, but Trump gets lazy headlines like this.

Lol trump is going to leave Tom and Christy holding the bag. As soon as trump leaves office (if he ever dose) the ICC is going to come calling for these two trump would be exempt, but these two will take the fall. And if the president is a Democrat he should hand them over
Why is Scott Jennings still being PAID BY YOU to appear and bandy about propaganda for the Trump administration? It's a disgrace and you all should be ashamed of yourselves for allowing him airtime for his RACISM
Time to start setting off the alarms for the American people. You legacy media outlets simply cannot afford to both sides this and downplay that we are in a full-blown authoritarian takeover.
“President Trump was obviously referring to the original Alien Enemies Act that was signed back in 1798,” White House communications director Steven Cheung said in the statement. - What a sleight of hand. Who would believe that is what the question was about?!!!
Per article 1, sect. 8 of the constitution, only congress can declare war. We aren’t at war so the Aliens Enemies Act (AEA) should not apply. Furthermore, the AEA requires a public announcement by POTUS and a judicial review against each alien. No judicial review. https://loveman.sdsu.edu/docs/1798AlienAct.pdf
This is an incredibly casual framing for saying the President claims someone has usurped his power. Only the President has the authority to invoke the Alien Enemies act.
Of course that's what it is, but the journalists aren't saying that and if they're not going to say it—if they're giving credibility to the Administration's lies—they need to follow up on the implications of that credibility.
Soooo Marco --- hope it was worth selling your soul so you could fall on this sword for Mango Mussolini. Looks like you might be going through some things.
This is so dumb. First, he signed it - possibly with autopen, but he approved it regardless. But here's the thing, if he didn't, then it's illegal and should be stopped. So why is it still going on? Claiming he didn't sign it doesn't help him violently remove immigrants like he wants. What an idiot.
Poor reporting CNN. It would take 5 mins for a junior reporter to find the relevant docs and clearly see he did sign them. This would then be the final line of this clip. Call him out everytime he lies.
Comments
He even had a press release about it
How stupid does he think Americans are?
Then I look at his approval rating and wonder if I think they are smarter than they are.

Is Trump’s staff using “Autopen” to create documents without his knowledge?
Or is Trump lying and refusing to accept responsibility for his actions?
Trump has previously claimed no responsibility for things that are bad or unpopular.
Let's see what he says then...

To take the blame if things go elbow up...
it's amazing, he's very very stupid and they think we're even more stupid.
BS
Is there not a way for SCOTUS to step in here?
But he owns SCROTUS.
50 USC 21. “…The President is authorized in any such event, by his proclamation thereof, or other public act, to direct the conduct…”
Not that there is a legal basis to use it.

Fixed it
Seriously. This is consciousness of guilt. He knows this is about to blow up in his face.
He tried to disappear legal status migrants into foreign concentration camps, and now he's scared.
Impeach this piece of dogshit. Make Republicans defend this.
So now we get oversight, and have to hope that Boesberg isn't a coward or a tool.
That's... not what happened.
That's not an accurate summation of what occurred or the most consequential or salient cause for publishing this news event.
Truth, in a world of lies, deserves the front page.
Nuance finds its place in the graphs on A10.
Signed it
Didn’t sign it
Might sign it
Did I sign it ?
Who the fuck knows ?
Who cares right ?
MAGA don’t care. They believe any Fucking shit I tell them 😂
Europe and UK and Canada would have already done so.
Well done everyone, the president who only takes responsibility for the 'good' victories.
Not shocking, but a stupid paper trail. Which also begs the question how he can "distance" himself from that record.

Was there a signed Proclamation? Bearing Trump's signature? if so by whom?
(I know I know... it was an Auto Pen signature!)
Could you explain Ludecke v. Watkins
1. Has the Pres made a Proclamation. NO. Case over!
2. is this an attempted predatory incursion / invasion of unnaturalized folks
3. of a hostile nation or govt?
