US president

Donald Trump

signed several new

executive orders

On Friday, yet again, concerns arose regarding whether the

Republican

Actually understands what he’s doing.

In conjunction with an executive order focused on “reinstating the gold standard for science,” Trump received three additional directives related to

nuclear energy

, including reform of nuclear reactor testing at the Department of Energy and nuclear energy production.

Following an explanation from his assistant regarding the context of the executive orders, Trump queried, “Is action being taken on the regulations within this?”

The official replied: “Yes, sir, you are. That issue I just described will be addressed in this EO.”

Um… one of the four executive orders you signed on Friday is actually called ” Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,” Donald.

Thus, the fundamental query posed by the U.S. President regarding an edict he was preparing to endorse has piqued interest among social media users who believe he “isn’t aware” of its contents.


“Wait, was he meant to read any of these?” questioned another Twitter/X user.


A suggestion was made that Trump is “too preoccupied with golf” to grasp what is happening within his administration:


It isn’t the first occasion for social media users to

have expressed alarm

at a question asked by Trump in the Oval Office, as just one week ago he had to ask an aide what the Biden administration did around energy efficiency requirements.

Yikes.
