- 🎯 This discrepancy raises questions about the order's legitimacy and Trump's involvement.
Potential Explanations for Trump's Statement
- 🧠 One possibility is that Trump is mentally declining and needs assistance, as he appears to be "falling apart mentally."
- ❓ Another explanation is that Trump knows he signed it but is using the autopen defense, suggesting that if an autopen signed it, it might not count.
- 🎯 A third theory suggests Trump is intentionally deflecting blame onto Marco Rubio, referring to him as being in charge of the deportation initiative.
