Trump tore up letter from Schumer into 'tiny pieces

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.

Next step, toilet paper.

Reminds me of a quote from the composer Max Reger, after reading a review of one of his performances:

“I am in the smallest room of the house. I have your review in front of me. Soon it will be behind me.”

"He ripped papers into tiny pieces."

Were there no cannons handy to fire?

Hey, at least Trump was honest tearing it up, Obama just made documents from his misadministration disappear, like his BC and school records.

Staff had to taped them up with scotch tape to fulfill legal requirements to preserve White House records as stipulated by the Presidential Records Act.

All papers that were mended were then sent to the National Archives for filing where stacks of letters sent to Trump have been taped together.

Trump’s just creating more jobs.
people to tape letters back together.
more need for tape.
ask shumer (everyone) to send doubles so he can tear one and save one - means more copying or printer ink.
more paper supply needed.
therapists needed for the many enviro people who will get upset.
probably more jobs related to Trump tearing up letters.......

Every time Schumer lies, Trump should call out Schumer by simply saying, “Chuckie, you are a pathological liar.”

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

I’ve often said that Trump is the Rodney Dangerfield (as in Caddyshack) of politics. I love it.

Remember his comment when the judge said that they didn’t want Rodney around the country club? Rodney responded, “ I don’t like the people around here either. I’m just here to see if I want to buy this place!” So Trump.

What about the electronic records our lovely former Secretary of State had bleached? No laws broken there? How about their pay for play records?

Look how hard the left urged Hillary Clinton to preserve all of her electronic communications. Half of her sixty thousand email seer about wedding plans and yoga. She said so and that should be good enough for The Deplorables.

And they are worried about a letter? Obama destroyed documents on a grand level.

No it’s probably a deep seated habit that is just automatic. It makes me laugh

Trump needs to keep up his manual dexterity for all the bills and proclamations he’ll be signing.

Personally, I’d prefer to bring out a pocket lighter for Schumer’s letters.
