4. He Had Declassified Them Anyway (cont)
There is a major problem with this claim as presidents do indeed have the power to declassify documents, however, there is a procedure in place to do so. Richard Immerman, a historian and an assistant deputy director of national intelligence in the Obama administration, would point this out by saying “He can’t just wave a wand and say it’s declassified.”
Immerman also noted that declassified documents are marked with the date they were declassified. Many of the documents seized did not have these dates marked on them. This was further undermined when former Trump administration official Kash Patel claimed that not only had Trump indeed declassified the files shortly before the end of his tenure as president but that the classified markings had not been removed.

There Is NO Reason for Trump to take them. It Has NEVER been done, before, There is No reason for it and is not Allowed. Why did he and what was he going to do with them? Sell them? Use them to extort someone? Absolutely ridiculous, and to say they are his, is ridiculous and UNTRUE.
Call Hillary for her reasons… then get back to us…
In Trump’s mind, he thinks he’s “ABOVE THE LAW”, because his daddy, who may have mob connections of his own, taught him that he’s very special and everybody else is beneath him. Donald has the mentality of a mob boss, a cult leader, like Jim Jones, and a dictator, like Hitler or Putin, which explains his fascination with authoritarians all over the World. Rumors that he may have read Hitler’s book, Mein Kamp and the Turner Diaries, which he’s using, along with other playbooks, courtesy of the far-right, as a blueprint for swaying public support from his “Base”, stoking fear, doubt, hate, anger, misinformation, and mistrust among his followers, blaming others for the “problems” in our country, sounds familiar, while profiting off the hard-earned money of people that he’s swindling, bending the truth to his narrative, causing division. So it’s no surprise to me that he would think that classified documents, which don’t belong to him, is something he treats as if it’s a souvenir for him to take home. Constitutional laws is always specific, even in the most bizarre cases, and that all Presidents must abide by them. I believe that Trump was going to sell them to the highest bidder and flee the country, but at the right time, when it suited him. Nuclear secrets are worth millions, perhaps even billions of dollars and such information should never leave the White House, under any circumstances, and that full security clearance and procedures should have been enforce, according to rules and regulations, regarding such removal of documents by any official, especially the President. It’s suspected that Trump may have already given away classified information, whether with or without knowing, and that he may have already gain monetary compensation and that such information may be out there, as it would have possibly been recorded in bank transactions and tax statements, kept under tight scrutiny. People need to understand that Trump isn’t about America First or Saving America, it’s about him gaining more power, wealth, status, and building the Trump name, establishing a legacy of true corruption, while milking his followers out of their paychecks, in a struggling economy, rising crime, rights being scaled-back or taken away, like abortion, voting rights, LGBTQ rights, etc., while he gains a foothold in the GOP and our nation, using violent language, intimidation and lies, and give promises, at least to those who follow him, possibly all the way to Hell, of making our country great again. If the narrative fits the crime, then he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law. If this was Obama, Clinton, or even Bush, or some average Joe, believe me, we would be in a maximum security prison right NOW!
B— S— ! You’ve been severely brainwashed, please get professional help, and also please refrain from voting, stay on your meds. Seriously !
Excellent assessment of the total disaster and despicable human being that Trump is. Thank you!
You need to see the parts of whole to understand these corruptions, these corruptions are unique in its own territory. However it can have a negative rippling effect if it is going to be like used like a political srategy , if not know it can be a triple negative effects and the real effects can be unknown until a political condition(s) by the Country’s socioeconomics activties that you don’t know for sure or a major geopolitical has triggered a global economic effect.
Republican party is behind trump’s fiasco of all his abusive of powers one after the others. Trump is betting on he could get away from all of that backing by Republican fools in the Congress. Also the supreme court too is keeping silence to trump’s shits in his 4 years using the toilet seat in the white house. Old cow was named for Mitch McConnell by trump after Mitch and other 42 Republican fools voted to acquit trump. It seems Mitch got benefits from trump but not doing the job desired by trump. Trump was mad and shitting Mitch who kept quiet like a dog obeying to the master. MAGA fools are a bunch of cultist jokers enabling by Republican members in the Congress to feed them bigger and taller. Dismantle Republican party to save the union
Jay, so glad to know someone understands this. Thank you!
Excellent article. Thank You
Trumps a thug, always has been, always will be. What’s amazing is how he’s sold such a bill of goods to his supporters and others. I don’t care how much you hate the left, liberals, Biden etc etc, supporting Trump is encouraging evil and is a wrong. Support good Republicans that care about the truth and this country. Trumps is truly a blight upon this nation.
