See my reply here.
Trump was asked if he would release the files and responded ad-hoc that he might, but it was never a ‘campaign promise’. The actual promise came in January 2025, long after he had won the election.
Once again, because I’ve had to deal with enough of you people that I already know your standard responses off by heart:
- No, I’m not ‘protecting pedophiles’ or acting as a ‘child rape defender’.
- Yes, it was incredibly stupid to promise the release of the files (especially as he likely had no idea who they compromised- this is 98% likely a coverup).
- Yes, it was a betrayal of that promise to turn around and say ‘nothing to see here’ and everyone who had an expectation of the files’ release is entitled to be pissed off.
- Yes, it’s a severe misstep to try to simply move the narrative on as if nothing had happened.
Now can we go back to discussing facts, rather than creative interpretations that suit certain narratives?
