President Donald Trump today released one of his best trolls of all time.
In a simple, hilarious statement, Trump mocked the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) heavily redacted search warrant affidavit that was used for the FBI’s raid of his Mar-a-Lago estate.
“DOJ released the affidavit on Friday after Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, who approved the search warrant, ordered the underlying affidavit to be unsealed on Thursday. However, the released affidavit was heavily redacted after Judge Reinhart found the federal government provided “good cause” to keep portions of the document under seal,” Breitbart reported.
The redactions were put in place “in order to protect the safety of multiple civilian witnesses,” according to a DOJ filing.
Trump mocked the highly redacted statement with a simple message – MAGA!
“They missed a page,” Trump said, along with an edited version of the document that redacted all but four words: Make America Great Again.

“Affidavit heavily redacted!!! Nothing mentioned on “Nuclear,” a total public relations subterfuge by the FBI & DOJ, or our close working relationship regarding document turnover – WE GAVE THEM MUCH,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“Judge Bruce Reinhart should NEVER have allowed the Break-In of my home. He recused himself two months ago from one of my cases based on his animosity and hatred of your favorite President, me. What changed? Why hasn’t he recused himself on this case? Obama must be very proud of him right now!”

Trump is not the only one who took to social media and mocked the heavily redacted affidavit.
“Well this really clears things up,” Donald Trump Jr. posted along with screenshots of three pages of redacted text from the affidavit.

From Breitbart:
The affidavit stated that DOJ believed Trump could have improperly stored classified documents at Mar-a-Lago based on the fact that Trump voluntarily provided 15 boxes of material to the federal government.
“Further, there is probable cause to believe that additional documents that contain classified NDI or that are Presidential records subject to record retention requirements currently remain at the PREMISES,” the affidavit stated.
