We Can't Look Away From This Video of All the Times Donald Trump Has Teased Reporters With a Secret Letter

We Can't Look Away From This Video of All the Times Donald Trump Has Teased Reporters With a Secret Letter
MSNBC

Very presidential.

President Donald Trump frequently touts his self-described talent for making deals. "I'm really a great negotiator. I know how to negotiate," he's said. "I like making deals, preferably big deals."

Yet with his latest alleged agreement with Mexico, Trump is literally keeping his cards close to the chest: He's walking around with the one-page agreement in his breast pocket.


Trump touted the sheet of paper in front of reporters yesterday, but wouldn't disclose what was on it, assuring that Mexico would announce its contents in due time. The secrecy of the deal got MSNBC's Morning Joe nostalgic for the other times Donald Trump has bragged about a secret agreement, corroborated by an ironclad sheet of paper.

Watch below:

The first clip shows Trump—his presidency two days old—brandishing a letter from former President Barack Obama. Trump gloats that he "won't even tell the press what's in that letter."

In the second, he claims to have a letter from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. "Oh would you like to see what's in that letter! How much? How much?"

The video concludes with the recent letter of agreement between the United States and Mexico, with Trump assuring reporters that he would let Mexico make the announcement at the right time.

The compilation had people wondering: What's with all the secrecy?

Some had theories.

Trump may not give us details, but he surely gives us sheet.

Scott Bessent Blasted Over His Bonkers Suggestion For How To Bring Your Own Inflation Rate Down

Continuing to follow the example of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on Meet the Press Sunday to blame Democratic President Joe Biden for the financial downturn caused by Trump's tariff fiasco, then lied repeatedly about the state of the economy.

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker played a clip of MAGA Republican Vice President JD Vance telling a conservative audience at a Breitbart News event that Americans owe the Trump administration "a little bit of patience"—apparently while they figure out what tariffs are and how they work since they're rolling back more of them to lower consumer prices despite claiming Trump's tariffs don't affect consumer prices.

Lindsay Lohan Is Now Sporting A New Accent—And Fans Aren't Sure What To Make Of It

In a twist freakier than a sequel to Freaky Friday, Lindsay Lohan has debuted yet another new accent—this time at the Fashion Trust Arabia Awards in Doha, Qatar.

Draped in a maroon, jewel-trimmed gown by The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel and accompanied by her husband, Bader Shammas, and their 2-year-old son, Luai, the actress looked serene, elegant, and completely unbothered by the collective whiplash she was about to inflict on the internet.
