The PR POTUS: Trump signs exec orders, staff gives out headlines, won't give any details

Look at this tweet from Judd Legum of ThinkProgress, and the comments:

Trump's staffers do seem to be just playing with the media, and with anyone trying to follow these hopelessly vague stories. Sean Spicer tweeted hours ago, for instance, that Trump had signed a proclamation for a "National Day of Patriotism" and there's been no info on that. But I guess they think it sounds good and Trump supporters online are cheering it -- they don't need any facts.

So tonight we're getting vague "news" about the "burden" of Obamacare "being eased" by one executive order, while the same order, or possibly another -- the Trump team is being very vague -- supposedly freezes regulations.
