๐ผโณ Trump’s Secret Golf Course Chit-chat: Admits to Holding Classified Papers, Court-side Gossip Suggests ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
TL;DR;: Trump’s “My-documents-are-your-documents” move to Mar-a-Lago landed him in hot waters, but it seems he was already boiling. According to CNN, the feds have gotten their hands on a recording of the former president apparently acknowledging he held onto classified materials about a proposed attack plan on Iran. A round of golf with biographers and staff, but no security clearances in sight – are we surprised? ๐ฒ๐๏ธ
Wham, bam, thank you, sir? Seems like Trumpโs claim of having declassified a heap of government papers he took for a sunny vacation at Mar-a-Lago was, well, a teensy bit on the dubious side. But isnโt that why we loved the guy – for his ‘alternative facts’? ๐
Turns out, it wasn’t just any random documents he was cradling. One of these ‘precious’ sheets was boasting some serious classified intel on a proposed attack plan on Iran. You would think something like that would need a little more TLC than being tucked away in a golf course property, but hey, what do I know about national security? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
The tee-off, as per reports, happened in July 2021 at Trumpโs golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey. Now, this wasn’t your average PGA tour championship. The audience included some eager biographers for Trumpโs former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows (who was conspicuously absent ๐ด๏ธ), and of course, members of his own staff. An extra kicker – several of the conversation participants lacked security clearances. Yeah, you heard it right. Lack. Of. Security. Clearances. ๐จ
According to ‘unbiased’ sources who described the recording, Trump did wish he could spill the tea on the document’s contents to the crowd. But seems like our boy still had a bit of discretion left, as he admitted he couldn’t declassify documents post-presidency. Who’d have thought? ๐
But wait, there’s more. The document that’s been causing all the fuss was labeled ‘SECRET’. And not in a cool, James Bond kinda way. More like, “if-this-gets-out-we’re-in-big-trouble” way. Yes, we’re talking serious damage to national security level classified. ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ๐ฅ
Team Trump, of course, had something to say about all this. Apparently, it’s all a media circus to tarnish his image and his followers. “Political persecution”, “inflaming tensions”, “witch hunts”… strong words, eh? But seriously, Trump dealing with media drama – another day at the office, right? ๐ฟ๐ช
All this unfolds as the authorities have scooped up more than 300 classified documents from Mar-a-Lago post-Trumpโs presidential departure. His stand? Well, in Trump-land, the president can declassify documents just by โsayingโ or โthinking about it.โ So, we are to believe his thoughts held executive power? ๐ง ๐ซ
As it stands, this newly discovered recording might just be
