The Washington Post has put together a flashback reel of just a very few of the many times Donald Trump attacked his 2016 Democratic challenger, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – almost always falsely – for her handling of classified documents.

"In my administration, I'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information," which turned out to be, many would claim, extraordinarily false.

"We also need the best protection of classified information. That is the worst situation. Hillary's private email scandal, which put our classified information in the reach of our enemies, disqualifies her from the presidency. Service members here in North Carolina have risked their lives to acquire classified intelligence to protect our country. Hillary thought nothing of putting classified information on her illegal server, which our enemies now have hacked," Trump falsely claimed.

Even in 2020, Trump said: "Forget about what was on the emails. It's irrelevant. Although many of them were classified, highly classified. You go to jail for that."

4. You do, but I don't.

Always remember with sociopaths like TFDG, anything said, no matter how well disguised as issuing from a normal human being, is all about themselves.
