WHAT? I don't get this logic.

So, have any conservatives in here defended this? Can any Trump supporters actually come up with a reasonable answer as to how this could be a good thing?

On the specific issue of White House visitors, Obama wanted to be transparent. Yet Trump, not even 90 days in, wants the once public list to be secret. Why???

Trump has tweeted his hypocrisy (or outright lies) on this and many other occaisions:
- electoral college was a disaster, but genius when he lost the popular vote
- Obama played excessive golf, proceeds to play even more golf
- involvement in Syria wrong, or not
- repeal Obamacare, or not
- anonymous sources unreliable, until he uses them & then they're credible
etc

Yep, it's like he goes back and reads over his old tweets so that he can proceed to do the exact thing he was criticizing.

If the stakes weren't so high, I'd swear we were all being punked.

Stump Tweets in 2012 -


“Why is @BarackObama spending millions to try and hide his records? He is the least transparent President — ever — and he ran on transparency.”


Now he fllp flops again

"The Trump administration announced Friday that it will not follow former president Barack Obama's policy of voluntarily disclosing the names of most visitors to the White House complex,"


This man changes his mind every time he talks to some one.

He is not just changing his mind, he is covering his tracks.

You don't act this secretive if you have nothing to hide.

Since the Presidential Records Act of 1978, the papers of U.S. presidents have been the property of the American public. This includes the records -- paper or electronic -- that the President's office creates or receives. In order to dispose of any records, the President is required to get the approval of the Archivist of the United States. The records are automatically sealed for five years after the end of the president's administration. Certain records can be sealed for up to
if they meet one of six criteria (see 44 U.S. Code § 2204 - Restrictions on access to Presidential records).

President G.W. Bush placed further restrictions on access to presidential records when he came into office. His Executive Order 13233 called for closing access to presidential records "reflecting military, diplomatic, or national security secrets, Presidential communications, legal advice, legal work, or the deliberative processes of the President and the President's advisers." This indefinitely sealed records that had been closed for 12 years after the Reagan/Bush administration. Many organizations including the American Library Association, the Society of American Archivists, the American Historical Association and the National Security Archive opposed this order. It stood until President Obama revoked it on his first day in office.
