Standing just behind the president, MAGA Rep. Derrick Van Orden appeared to awkwardly mouth, “I’m here.”

President Donald Trump briefly lost track of the room Wednesday, searching for a GOP lawmaker whose bill he was signing while the congressman stood inches behind him. Reps. Derrick Van Orden and Mike Bost were already flanking the podium when the 79-year-old president strolled up without so much as a glance at either of them. He spoke for roughly two minutes on Van Orden’s veterans bill before pausing mid-sentence.
