Trump only wants his version preserved. And he wants the archives to be kept at MaL with access approved through him only.

Just another petty ego driven, revenge laden ploy. They did him wrong you know by asking or their documents back. The ones he stole. He should be focusing on the country & presidency. But nooooo. He's going through his list of "naughties". Ones in his mind only.

wokeoldlady.bsky.social•60 days ago

I wonder why he did that? Could it be because The National Archives were the ones that asked POLITELY for MONTHS that he return the classified documents he STOLE?!?!?!

I hope they strip search him when he finally gets booted out.

ginnyfl.bsky.social•60 days ago

Of course that’s the reason. He’s perfectly fine ruining lives to get his revenge. So petty

I’m reposting this reminder of history & everything that led up to it. It’ll be repetitive & exhausting for all of us BUT…

Remember when we used to kill Nazi’s? I think about that everyday now. For those that made it to trial, we hanged them & cremated them.

We killed them

It’s obvious that Trump has no respect for ANY document. Isn’t an original of the constitution and the Bill of Rights there?
