Now Trump wants to steal the Declaration of Independence
It was only a week ago that President Donald Trump seized from the FBI the documents he had stolen and whisked away to Mar-a-Lago when he was booted from office in 2021. Those documents were evidence in one of his many criminal cases until his hand-picked judge waved a magic wand to make that go away and the Supreme Court ruled that he can do whatever he wants because
whatever.
Now The Atlantic reports hes got his eye on an even bigger prize: the Declaration of Independence.
To be clear, Trump isnt looking to display the sacred founding document that belongs to all Americans in his tacky Mar-a-Lago bathroom where he stashed his stolen classified documents. At least, not that we know of.
Instead, according to reporting, Trump is interested in removing the Declaration of Independence from the National Archives in Washington, D.C., where anyone can visit and pay homagefor freeand instead display it in the Oval Office like the head of an elephant he killed on safari.
