...but that's not what he said he signed. He conveniently left out "VA".

To think I signed the Whistleblower Protection Act! (implying the larger act).

"President Trump walked out on his own Oval Office signing ceremony without actually signing his two executive orders on trade.
....
Reporters reacted with surprise when Trump left the room without signing his orders. Brian Teff of ABC Action News in Philadelphia called it "a hugely awkward moment."....(more)

So, I believe it has nothing to do with Trump's current problems, making him a total dumfuck and American embarrassment in public (yet again!).

President Trump signed the VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act, making it easier to identify problems within the VA and improve the quality of service for veterans.
