        By not releasing the JFK files Trump maintained this crucial bit of leverage. That’s some 7-D parcheesi right there.

        Or y’know, Trump just being a lying POS who doesn’t bother to remember the promises he makes.

          If you deliver on your promises, they’re not promises any more, but deliverables. The only way you can keep your promises is by keeping them as promises.

          … Is probably what Kelly-Anne Conway would say.

      Sure, but the demographic he’s campaigning for have a tenuous grasp on reality at best, you expect them to remember something that happened in 2016? I’m sure they’ve already constructed some elaborate scenario in their heads about how Trump tried to reveal the truth but a Oceans 11 worthy plot by The Deep State™, Bill Gates, and Barack Obama conspired to prevent its release.

      Don’t worry Trump will release everything in 2 weeks, just like his healthcare plan, infrastructure plan, his taxes…
