Trump talks to Hannity about how he can declassify documents just by thinking about it.

Its been a while since I voluntarily allowed his lying voice to enter my head. But this headline seemed preposterous even for him. Until I heard it for myself.

The Fox video clip is top in the link, with the absurd claim just 25 sec in - for your convenience. (The rest is commentary that I dont care about).

Again as a JUDGE said, it's a red herring, declassifying them doesn't make it stop making it ilegal to have them, they are GOVEREMENT property not the presidents or anyone elses. I've been saying that for weeks, declassifying means you can make copies and have access to read them, doesn't mean you get to take them home thats just idiotic.

Trump's amazing mental powers to rewrite reality seem to have failed him in this case.
There is no bottom, this too will be embraced and defended.

He's making a point, the president decides what is classified and what is not and is not subject to a process his underlings impose on him. Joe just said that we would defend Taiwan if China attacked. That was classified information, Joe did not stamp documents involving U.S. strategy as declassified, so he is guilty of violation the Espionage Act, do you agree?

What was the process Biden or his designees used for declassifying those docs?

Just an observation: at 50 seconds in, he says he declassified everything.

Everything? That's very broad.

Well then, there you go! Everything has been declassified and Biden better get his act together and reclassify it.

Hm, wait...if Trump can declassify documents with a mere thought, surely Biden can reclassify them the same way, right?

What about having top-secret information on a personal server?

Yeah as much as I reject his deluded politics and creeping on young gals, the guy could rock.
