There is a bit of a difference between posting a tweet on Trump's account without his knowledge, and signing actual laws and executive orders without his knowledge.
Ron Filipowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social reports [0] that Trump admits he was the one who found the video and asked that it be posted from his Truth Social account. Refuses to apologize.
> Reporter: The WH says a staffer sent that video. Are you going to fire the staffer?
> Trump: No. I looked at it. I didn't see the whole thing. I gave it to the people, they posted it.
> Reporter: Are you going to apologize?
> Trump: No, I didn't make a mistake.
