Well, you know, I was given the task of releasing that. Many presidents have gone through it, and they havent released. And I said, Release. We even released Social Security numbers, I didnt want anything deleted, Trump replied. They said, So what about Social Security? People long gone.
We gave Social Security, we gave everything. And the rest is for you to look at.

(29,458 posts)Remember when shadypants went off on childless cat ladies? Im here to tell ya, some of their male MAGAt counterparts - childless middle-age males, married even - possess a nihilistic streak a mile wide. Like the internet meme cartoon dog sitting amidst flames, saying this is fine, some of those Ive encountered could care less if the sun rose tomorrow. Theyre almost gleeful at the prospect of civilization collapsing, although their personal oxen have yet to be gored. Yet.

Eighty thousand pages of documents is a lot to sift through, a reporter said to Trump on Friday. Can you just tell us who killed Kennedy?

These Social Security numbers are from potentially hundreds of people who are alive, not long gone, as the president wrongly claimed.
One of them, Reagan-era Justice Department attorney and Trumps own former campaign lawyer Joseph diGenova, was furious about the release of his personal data. I intend to sue the National Archives, he told USA Today. They violated the Privacy Act.

People named in JFK assassination documents are not happy their personal information was released

(8,684 posts)power more than popularity. He isn't worried about polls and elections anymore. he has free reign to cheat, steal, lie, destroy, and do things no one has ever done before....because he can. Without consequence. Often the cruelty is pointless, except that his disordered brain craves it.
Analysts talk as though Trump has a goal to make America great, or improve the economy for most people. That he's playing the long game. Not his goal at all. Daily cruelty and exercise of unlimited power all the way down.
