Donald Trump is just a symbol. When the right tks about handers, Trump is the one. The man running the government is Russell Vought. The guy who wrote Projected 2025. He has Trump signing executive orders and he doesn't even know what they do.
Trump was seated in the Oval Office, preparing to sign the orders impacting the nuclear energy industry, when he invited business leaders in attendance to say a few words.
The first person to speak was Joseph Dominquez, the president and CEO of Constellation.
Dominquez brought up how the industry has faced regulatory delays. He complained they are spending too much time on permitting.
That’s when Trump turned in his seat and asked Dominquez a question about what was in his executive order.
“Are we doing something about the regulatory in here?” Trump asked, nodding to the executive order sitting on the desk in front of him.
Several business leaders standing around him were quick to chime in that his order did address the regulations while Interior Secretary Doug Burgum also responded, “You are, sir.”
Trump has regularly hosted gatherings in the Oval Office to sign executive orders since taking office, where his team explains what is in each bill as they hand them over for his signature.
However, it was a telling moment that suggested the president had not read the order on Friday in advance, prompting the business executive at the White House to quickly step in and explain.
