#NoPuppetNoPuppet | #WhatTheyVotedFor
Speaking of puppets, because … well, right:
Donald Trump is not yet accustomed to bill-signing ceremonies. The president, just a month into his term, walked into a room in the White House last week to sign a measure backed by the coal industry, said a few words, smiled for the cameras, and turned to leave the room.
An aide had to remind Trump to actually sign the bill into law.

So, yeah. This is your American president. And there is your puppet.
