Question that should be asked of Trump.

If a real reporter can manage to get an interview with Trump, this hypothetical real reporter should ask what was in the documents.

If they’re unclassified, he should be able to talk freely about them in public, right?

So let’s see if he does it.

And if he does, nail him on that too.

Disclaimer: we all know they’re not declassified; we all know it wouldn’t matter if they were; we know he won’t talk to anyone in the media aside from his shills on Fox and Newsmax.

I put read in quotes because you know he didn't read any/most of them. He might know what the document is overall about but I highly doubt he would remember much of the details. Well, maybe he remembers the supposedly document about Macron since he likes gossips.

People are saying they are the greatest documents ever and they are mine of course because I declassified them with my mind - some say the best mind anyone has ever had. FBI agents come to me and say 'sir, can we see your greatest documents of all time? These are big strong men and they are literally weeping. They say Sir you are the greatest archivist we have ever heard of! So far beyond the communist at the national archives.

Justice matters.

But he is not going anywhere near a reporter that might ask that.
