Trump can declassify documents just by thinking about it and this ability transcends space and time.I wonder if he can also classify documents just by thinking about them...
If you can't demonstrate it, then you shouldn't believe it.

After all, what business is it of anyone else if he thinks about declassifying a document?
The conviction will get overturned on appeal.

We got us some national secrets to read!
Ah but there's a counter for that. Trump simply wills it to be classified the moment anyone does a foia request. And immediately after wills it back to be unclassified.

And immediately after wills it back to be unclassified.Two problems with that. One: Trump lost that magic power the instant Biden was sworn in. Two: some of the charges being investigated don't depend on those documents being classified.
Nearly all flat earthers agree the earth is not a globe.
If Trump declassified them by thinking about it, I'm sure Biden has been keeping up to speed with the case, and has thought about re-classifying them all already. So they are all classified again now. Prove me wrong.

So they are all classified again now. Prove me wrong.It doesn't really matter if the documents are classified or declassified. What matters is that those documents are still government property that a former president has no right to possess.

But we're hoping he digs himself an even deeper grave.

I hope you understand we're maintaining a valuable resource here....
The U.S. populace is certainly stupid enough to elect him again.
Trumpty Dumpty is getting trashed. Not sure how he's going to play it as a win but he'll try to spin something. He will lose to DeSantis in the primary.
