Trump's Desperation and the Obama card

Trump is clearly a desperate rat caught in a trap. So he does what he always does. He lies to people who will believe whatever he says without question.

“What happened to the 30 million pages of documents taken from the White House to Chicago by Barack Hussein Obama? He refused to give them back! What is going on? This act was strongly at odds with NARA. Will they be breaking into Obama’s ‘mansion’ in Martha’s Vineyard?”

"President "Barack Hussein Obama kept 33 million pages of documents, much of them classified. How many of them pertained to nuclear? Word is, lots!"

And the quick and concise National Archives response?


“NARA moved approximately 30 million pages of unclassified records to a NARA facility in the Chicago area where they are maintained exclusively by NARA. Additionally, NARA maintains the classified Obama Presidential records in a NARA facility in the Washington, DC, area,” the statement said. “As required by the PRA, former President Obama has no control over where and how NARA stores the Presidential records of his Administration.”

But the cold, hard reality of America today is that millions will believe Trump over NARA. Because EVERYONE is in on the hoax.

How do you fight against that?

What happened to the 30 million pages of documents taken from the White House to Chicago?
Tens of thousands (not 30 million, get serious) of Obama's documents were transported to Chicago. But these items were shipped to a federal government facility — which is what's supposed to happen with a president's records. Federal law requires that presidents and their administrations keep a detailed collection of emails, documents, and even gifts from their time in office since all of those things are actually the property of the American people.

In Obama's case, the National Archives took legal ownership of Obama's documents and then began the long process of sorting through the material before the public could request it years later. Some of this material was then turned over to Obama's presidential library, which is the standard legal process.

So, that's what happened. You'd think as President, Trump wouldn't have to have Rules & Procedures 101 read to him.

@Graylight You're on the money but I think if NARA says "30 million" then it's 30 million.

@Graylight Trump knows nothing about how his own country is run.
