Former President Trump is ripping the affidavit released Friday afternoon by the Justice Department that allowed FBI agents to raid his Florida home, calling it "total public relations subterfuge" by the agencies and releasing a parody press release.
In the release, Trump shared a heavily redacted paragraph that only showed the words "Make," "America," "Great," and "Again."
"They missed a page," was the release's only other line.
He previously posted a series of messages deriding the heavy redactions on the affidavit.
"Affidavit heavily redacted!!!," Trump posted on his TRUTH Social account shortly after the redacted affidavit was released by the department – at the demand of the federal judge whose OK of the document led to a warrant being approved to search Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, in Florida, on Aug. 8.
"Nothing mentioned on 'Nuclear,' a total public relations subterfuge by the FBI & DOJ, or our close working relationship regarding document turnover - WE GAVE THEM MUCH. Judge Bruce Reinhart should NEVER have allowed the Break-In of my home," Trump also wrote.
The former president was likely first referring first to news reports that he took documents related the country's nuclear arsenal when he left the White House for Florida, then to him and his team having worked with National Achieves to turn over some White House documents before the raid.
Reinhart is the U.S. magistrate judge in Florida overseeing the case and who signed the affidavit. He had donated to the presidential campaign of President Obama, a Democrat.
Trump also said Obama must be "very proud" of Reinhart.
Well, at least they let some of it get through on this page. Other pages were COMPLETELY redacted.
I’ve always found it amazing that while in the Eye of The Storm, Donald Trump can have the presence of mind to make a joke or show a parody.
It’s likely that this ability to step away from the thunderstorms of political wars for a moment then tell a joke is one of the character traits that keeps him going. Most people would have been overwhelmed by all the Anti-Trump forces years ago and left the scene for good.
That is hilarious and so creative of the man who should still be in the White House....
Also I hope it goes viral!
The government has tried everything but kill him, and nothing
has worked yet.
I shudder to think what’s next.
Nothing is off limits, as far as their plans are concerned.
They probably bugged the crap out of Mar a Lago, too.
This raid is a coordinated democrat effort to distract from inflation, crime and open borders.
And it may work
Love Trump! He’s the best!
A brilliant response!
The man can remain classy after everything that’s been thrown at him.
Hilarious!
Trump makes me proud to be an American. Democrats and RINOs like McConnell, Romney, etc, do not.
Seems like he’s really enjoying this theater.
It’s a big reason I like and hope he gets back in the white house. He’s a warrior who never gives up.
Ask not for whom the Prez Trolls!
He trolls for thee!
It is all part of President Marc Elias's plan to save the 2022 midterms for the scumbag Democrats. There will be a big phony anti-Trump event every 2-3 weeks until the election to keep voters off-balance and doubting Trump and Republicans. The Trump indictment is no doubt scheduled for October 31st.
Laughing at fear is an excellent way to disarm it.
It's got to drive the left absolutely batty. He's a scrapper and they don't know how to handle it.
