President Trump's habit of ripping papers after reading them led to the demise of a letter sent by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, according to a report.

“I had a letter from Schumer — he tore it up,” Soloman Lartey, who formerly was tasked with records management for the White House, told Politico. “It was the craziest thing ever. He ripped papers into tiny pieces.”

Which letter from the New York Democrat was torn up was not identified.

The Politico report delved into how Lartey and his colleagues would use Scotch tape to piece back together papers torn up by Trump to fulfill legal requirements to preserve White House records as stipulated by the Presidential Records Act.

Maybe the President should invest in a cross-cut shredder. Let them try to piece together a letter sent through that!

except that if they can show the President to be violating federal law, instant impeachment and solid grounds for it as well.

He seems like some trucker you’d see in a coffee shop.

He’s taking Conservatism to a whole new level in many instances. It’s as if we were there reacting as a Conservative would.

Man have I waited a long long long time for this.

I never thought I’d see it happen.

Another “former” employee whining about Trump etc al.

Oh my, what ever will we do? /S

Probably wears pastels and speaks with a lisp.

It was the letter where the Democrats sent a letter to Trump making their own demands in the North Korea summit.

Sad to know that somewhere, a canary cage was denied a change of paper.

He needs to be shredding Schumer on the issues that matter to the American people. Trump’s paper tear may make us cheer, but he needs to be getting his message out.

He owns country clubs, but he is not a country club Republican. He is indeed a conservative truck driver type.

That’s exactly it. He’s the conservatives’ representative in the presidency. He acts as we would act were one of us there.

And it’s wonderful!

I wouldn’t bother putting them back together. Just file them in a ziplock bag.
