"Trump hurt itself in confusion"

That would require him to have any amount of shame, or someone to actually be willing to act in his stupidity. Unfortunately neither exist right now.

Or he just doesn't read the things he signs

This isn't said enough. His cruelty and abrasiveness seem to hide it easily from his idiot followers.

What a dumbass

He knows President Trump signed the original deal. But now that he's King Trump, he expects something more in line with the despots he's trying to emulate.

not only did he sign it but it was nafta and he insisted on renegotiating it and having it renamed.
