Notice he never says "I'm not in the files" he says " If they found something they would have released them" F Trump and everyone that didn't listen.

Not 1 of those people covering for Trump would ever leave their 15 year old daughter in a room alone with Trump.

A few weeks ago, I was chatting with a friend about how manifesting never seemed to work for me. I’d tried so many methods but still felt stuck. We heard about a book called Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers on a podcast, and I was hesitant at first. But after reading just a few chapters, I realized how much I was missing. Eva's approach is so different from anything I’ve ever tried. It’s not just about thinking positive, it’s about aligning with real-world actions that bring your desires into reality. Now, I’ve manifested opportunities I never imagined possible, and my mindset has shifted completely. If you’re frustrated like I was, don’t hesitate. Read this book. It will change everything ❤

That ribbon cutting ceremony just screams of cognitive decline. The way he’s still holding one ribbon. The way he’s just kind of out of it and confused.
