8 yrs of Obama administration vs 1.5 yrs of Trump. I have no doubt that after his 4 years up, things will be worse.

Look at his record of wasting taxpayer money on his trips to FL just in the last 1.5 years compared to Obama's 8 years.

You clearly don't know what "whataboutism" means or you have a severe lack of reading comprehension skills.

They should just make a copy of everything they hand the president. Let him rip up the copies.

That’s not what Trump wants. He really wants these papers to disappear. I’m guessing that’s why the paper tapers were fired.

DP. What are you talking about? That is a clear example of Whataboutism.

"What about Obama? Trump can break the law because Obama did it, too!"

And it doesn't work that way. The Presidential Records act requires that the papers touched by the president must be kept.

Also, due to classification requirements some some of those documents can't be just be photocopied by a staffer.
