What you're looking at is two photos, one from the White House,
which is what the one that looks like it has carpet on the bottom.
The other is from an overseas trip that a Trump White House source provided
me recently after some of the revelations during the January 6 hearing.
People are going to make all kinds of jokes about toilets and so forth.
It would still be a story if it was a fireplace.
And the point is about the destruction of records which are supposed to be preserved
under the Presidential Records act, which is a Watergate era creation.
>> Yeah, so the idea that the president is not supposed to actively destroy
documents is a legal thing, destroying them is potentially illegal.
And the reason I want to focus on this is that I love the idea that
the president could commit a crime and it would matter.
I think that's like a nice quaint thing.
It's like thinking about some of the hobbies you had before the pandemic,
the idea that we could catch them by breaking the law.
No, he did it and nothing will happen, and you're seeing the photos next to me.
One is from the White House, One is from a trip.
He regularly takes the documents that are supposed to be preserved, rips them up and
throws them away.
The only thing that really makes this more fun is that he denied it and
got caught out.
But on the story, Maggie Haberman says,
Mr Trump was discarding documents this way was not widely known within the West Wing,
but some aides were aware of the habit, which engaged in repeatedly.
The fact that they knew so
much about what's going on the toilet makes me worried for their sanity.
He says it's not the only way that he ripped up documents,
he often would just shred them, and they'd have to be put back together, but
sometimes he went farther and threw them in the can for some reason.
When this was initially alleged a year or two ago,
he called Maggie Haberman, Trump did a maggot, he said she was lying,
it was fake news and she's a maggot, and now we have the photos.
So I guess they can't really deny it.
But Taylor Budowich, spokesperson for Trump says,
you have to be pretty desperate to sell books if pictures of paper in
a toilet bowl is part of your promotional plan.
We know there's enough people willing to fab stories like this in order to impress
the media class, a media class who is willing to run with anything, as long as,
it's anti-Trump.
Because there's anything I know about Taylor Budowich, Trump spokesperson, and
she doesn't like the media class, she's just a spokesperson for Trump,
which is weird anyway.
They're not even really denying anymore, he ripped up papers, he threw them away
because he knows that he's above the law, and he can do whatever he wants.
>> It's so funny to me like the Trump and the New York Times relationship and
the Maggie Haberman relationship is just just the most hilarious like
three part play of like you could have, she was in the palm of your hand.
You screwed up the relationship, you were so corrupt, she tried to do
everything to make you look human and decent, and you couldn't even play her.
When you can't play the New York Times when they're coming to the White house
early on, do you remember in the early years of the Trump administration,
trying to write like fluff pieces about you,
trying to hear your side of the story, and you can't play that?
Bro, that's on you, that's on your entire administration,
that's how corrupt these fools are.
When Maggie Haberman can't be played, Maggie centrist as Haberman, I'm sorry
Maggie Haberman who wants to bend over backwards to make Trump look good but
in the end of the day, watch this book, you guys.
Yeah, there might be a photo of some ripped up documents but
the book will be like for all of his flaws, Trump really loves his family and
you have to hand that to him, and it's one day when Jared was wistfully looking.
You know that's what it's gonna be.
>> Gotta maintain that access to the toilet, that's what you need.
Anyway, I just don't know the image of him just taking like the government
throwing the toilet, just seems sort of perfect.
It's almost poetic.
>> He was doing that before, right?
He's not amazing, like you don't just learn to do that.
That's like Fred, when he was little and like,
it was like, so two things one, your mom's a bitch.
And two, always put documents in the toilet.
Let me show you, Donny.
No, you can't get a hug, ew.
>> God.
