I guess not, if there is a way for the subject of Trump to be dragged in. Then it ends up yet another AT vs NT argument. I'm hardly seeing any posts about the Archives.
Those arguments seem to happen, not just because Trump is brought up. If the story had been that Trump found out about this and was ordering an investigation (or whatever) things would have been fine.
But the stories are related and AT doesn't seem to be able to handle it being pointed out that Trump is not helping a situation with his actions. The convo could have been as simple as 'That's interesting' in response to Suppressed's article, but instead it was a whinefest about being off topic. It was the whining that was off topic.
