and unconvincing ones at that. Notice that the folders are brand new and appear never to have been handled - fresh from Staples - SAD.
Also, there is no evidence of labels or writing anywhere on the papers, whose margins can be seen, or on the folders.
F@*%#*G scam artist!

and not even a glimpse of any of those blue backs that are common of any legal office. Who had the brilliant idea to go ahead with this needless stunt?

Trump and his entire staff are disastrously stupid to think that anyone would fall for this childish stunt. If they do this kind of petty chicanery now, what idiocy will he try to use to impress foreign leaders and heads if state?

Were I a reporter, some of them would have accidentally fallen on the floor and the 'short fingered vulgarian wanna be emperor' would have been exposed.
