Trump's shockingly blatent warning to the CIA & other weaponized agencies stating he's going to release ALL the JFK documents is monumental.
Judge Napolitano: "I told Trump, 'you promised you would release the records of the JFK assassination.' He said to me 'If they showed you what they showed me, you wouldn't have released it either.' I said 'Who's they? What did they show you?' Trump said "Someday when we're not on the phone and there aren't 15 people listening to the call, I'll tell you.'"
The retired judge said Trump called him occasionally, and spoke about one particular conversation that took place after the January 6 insurrection. After the lame-duck president grumbled about losing the 2020 election, Napolitano said he confronted Trump about his failure to release all of the government's remaining JFK assassination documents.
"I said, you know you made a promise to the public many times — and to me privately — that you haven't kept. 'What, what? I'll take care of it right now.' I said, 'you promised you would release the records of the JFK assassination.' He said to me, 'Judge, if they showed you what they showed me, you wouldn't have released it either,'" Napolitano recalled. "And I said, 'who's they? What did they show you?' And then he said, 'Judge, someday when we're on the phone, and then he raised his voice, and there aren't 15 people listening to the phone call — back to a normal voice — I'll tell you.'"
"Even he, Trump, held back 20 percent of the documents," Stone told Jack Posobiec of Human Events, part of the GOP nonprofit Turning Point USA. "When I had the occasion to ask him about that, I said, 'Why didn't you let it all out?'
"He said, 'I can't tell you, it's so horrible you wouldn't believe it. Someday you'll find out.' That was the sum total of it and he didn't want to talk further about it. He kicked the can down the road to President Joe Biden."

... Trumps foreign policy consisted of being crazier than Kim Jong Un & a bromance with Putin.
Nepotism should be his family coat of arms. ...

But it worked, didn't it?
Before the Trump administration, the little dork with the funny haircut threw a temper tantrum every few months and threatened to blow up the west. Western leaders shook in their wing-tipped shoes, begged him not to hurt them and gave him whatever baubles he demanded. He essentially held the west hostage and western leaders were in the throes of some kind of Stockholm Syndrome.
He tried with the Donald Trump and Trump said, "My bombs are bigger than yours." That shut the little runt of a dork up for four years, didn't it? There wasn't a peep out of him until Biden took office.
As to the "bromance" with Putin; say there is a bully on the block who is as strong and capable as you. Getting into a fight could mean the death of either or both. Wouldn't it make more sense to build a friendship with that opponent than to get into a pissing match.
Seriously, look at where the Biden foreign policy has gotten us. We are on the brink of nuclear confrontation with two or three armed powers (China, Russia and maybe Iran). Do you seriously think that this is a better position than a "bromance?" You really think that an international nuclear pissing match is a better position than just getting along?
Please answer that question, if you can. I really want to understand that line of reasoning. I doubt that you can answer, but would love to hear your reasoning, if you have any other than ORANGE MAN BAD.
As far as the nepotism claim, show me a politician that doesn't engage in it. Not that it justifies it, but your singling out one individual is hypocritical. Hell, Joe had a confirmed dope-head, whore-mongering criminal as one of his top advisers.
ETA: As per my previous post in this thread, you'll see that I do not write this as an avid Trump supporter. I am not. I do not want to defend Donald Trump; I simply want to understand how you consider an international nuclear pissing match to be a better position than getting along with other superpowers.

Who cares? The point was they Trump called the little runt's bluff and the little runt backed down. Didn't he?

No. Not in the slightest.

Kim Jong totally played Trump. Just like Putin did.
