Source:CNN– former President Donald J. Trump, learning what a real interview from FOX News anchor Brett Baier, is like.

“CNN exclusively obtained the audio recording of the 2021 meeting in Bedminster, New Jersey, where former President Donald Trump discusses holding secret documents he did not declassify. The audio appears to contradict a Fox News interview he gave on June 19, in which he denied being in possession of a classified document that discusses Iran.”

“Donald Trump admitted that he did not win the 2020 presidential election in an interview with a panel of historians in 2021. The ex-president also said Iran, China and South Korea were happy Biden won, adding that ‘the election was rigged and lost’.

Referring to his attempts to make South Korea pay more for US military assistance, Trump said Moon Jae-in, the South Korean president, was among the ‘happiest’ world leaders after he lost the 2020 US election. Trump said they were on the brink of making a deal for South Korea to contribute $5bn annually to that bill.

I think most people who don’t live in MAGA world (meaning everyone whose not confined to a mental institution, or a member of a political cult right now) has always known, or at least highly suspected, that Donald J. Trump has never taken. national security information very seriously, at least in the sense of treating like the value government, national security property that it is, that needs to be protected and kept away from anyone who doesn’t have a national security clearance. Like a former President of the United States, political advisers who aren’t currently working for the U.S Government, members of the media, etc.

President Trump’s own National Security Adviser John Bolton (no left-winger or Democrat) has already said that the only time that President Trump was never interested in national security intelligence, unless it was something that could benefit him politically, or something that he could use to hurt his political opponents.

But with this tape that CNN obtained, (perhaps now CNN is no longer unwatchable) we now know that is the truth and that Donald Trump saw the papers and information that he received as President, as if it was his own personal property. Like his golf clubs or something and not the classified, national security, information that it is, where you have to have a U.S. national security clearance, just to be near it, let alone be able to see it. And being one of Donald Trump’s most loyal supporters, doesn’t count as a U.S. national security clearance.

We learned something very valuable about Donald J. Trump, not just last night, but in the last few months: he knows that he’s no longer President of the United States. He also knows that he lost the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden. And he can say it was rigged all he wants, but all those Republican legislatures, governor’s, and secretary of state’s, all disagree with him. All those folks also voted for him in 2016 and 2020 as well.
