I just realized where TFG came up with the idea to "think" those docs into declassification.

In Mary Trump’s book, she recounts how old Fred Trump was a big Norman Vincent Peale fan, and he encouraged his shiftless son Donald to embrace him too. Years have past and Peale’s lessons are regurgitating out uncontrolled. Can’t wait to hear what’s next!
