Trump's filing system: Tearing up documents into pieces, even when they're supposed to be preserved

Meet the guys who tape Trump's papers back together

@JoyAnnReid

"White House aides realized early on that they were unable to stop Trump from ripping up paper after he was done with it and throwing it in the trash or on the floor, according to people familiar with the practice. Instead, they chose to clean it up for him" —both men were fired.







@anniekarni

Trump has a habit of ripping up all of his paper -- his own "filing system" of sorts. Officials working in records management spend their days taping them back together to avoid violating Presidential Records Act

If THIS isn't a sign of a criminal, I don't know what is...

And the article is unclear to me...If the people who were taping things together are canned, is nobody doing it NOW?

is that he has no regard for anything HE feels doesn't apply to him. Don't like it? Ignore or flaunt. Does he not get that, once again, this is illegal? He's in that job doing whatever the hell he wants to and the law and the American people be damned.

We can't get him removed soon enough. He's a time bomb.
