The U.S. has been dragged back to having to care about Donald Trump after the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, obtaining 11 sets of classified documents he took from the White House after he was voted out in 2020, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Some of those documents may have been something that has been called “above top secret” as well as information that people have been referring to as nuclear secrets, and now we’re all just praying that Saudi Arabia doesn’t have our nuclear codes.
The nuclear documents in particular have gained international interest and inspired a lot of jokes. The Washington Post story that first broke the news that the FBI was seeking documents related to our nuclear weapons in the raid did not confirm whether the agents found anything like that at Mar-a-Lago, but Trump’s reaction to the claims did not exactly deny it.
In one of his official Donald Trump statement rants, he does not appear to issue a denial that he stole documents containing nuclear secrets, but rather accuses his predecessor, Barack Obama, of stealing 33 million pages of documents from the White House.
“President Barack Hussein Obama kept 33 million pages of documents, much of them classified,” Trump wrote. “How many of them pertained to nuclear? Word is, lots!”
As far as we know, nobody has so much as suggested that Obama stole anything from the White House on his way out before, but thanks for giving us the phrase “pertained to nuclear.” And to top the whole thing off, people are remembering when Trump used his power as president to make the mishandling of classified information from the White House a felony to spite Hillary Clinton.
The entire debacle has led to a major resurgence of Trump-mocking on Twitter, where people are gladly taking their frustrations out on someone who deserves it for once:
