Keep in mind all the horrible things you will be missing this administration do, while everyone is excitedly talking about whatever gets released.... There's a reason they 'found' these things in the first place, and why they said they will release whatever they found. Gotta keep everyone distracted.
Don't catch you slippin' now
"If I become president again I will take over the country, become dictator on day 1, cut healthcare and social support programs and also just start murdering people because I can."
Trump gets elected:

Burglar agrees to limit burglaring homeowner's house after burglaring homeowner's house.
You should be calling return2ozma and TokenBoomer too. The 'I'm not voting for Trump's opponent, but I'm gonna complain about the consequences', crowd.
I did too, and I heard a lot of people in my school only enlisting to kill Iraqi's... I was in 8th grade when 9/11 happened, so we had a few years to let the anger fester before people were able to get out of school and legally go over.
I've had that reaction since the 'support our troops' days of yore.
"Very nice guy"

June 2018, so (6.5 years ago) was the 'pedo' comment directed towards that diver trying to save that soccer team stuck in a cave...
...not with this administration...
I think this is an offhanded comment, but if you're actually confused about the saying:
There's varying levels of trust, if someone on the street tells you something bizarre, you'd probably be skeptical of it and not believe the information they told you.
But if your wife who you've been married to for 20 years and is generally a factually correct individual, tells you that bizzare information, you'd probably trust it a bit more and believe it, but its still a weird thing they're talking about, so you'd probably want to verify by trying to find a news article or google the subject matter to make sure what they're saying is true. Doesn't mean you don't trust your wife, just that the information they told you doesn't sound feasibly correct, and you want to verify to make sure.
If someone with a PH.D in the subject matter tells you that weird piece of information, you'd probably trust it on the spot, but you also should probably verify with a peer reviewed journal article, just to verify.
Example in the context of your example:
a random person on the street stops you and says your wife is cheating on you. "Wtf? What do they know about me or my wife, I dont even know this person, they're crazy..."
A good friend tells you that you're wife is cheating on you. "Oh shit.. Could she really be cheating on me? I should confront her and find out the truth..."
The guy your wife is cheating on you with, tells you your wife us cheating on you. "Fuck.. This can't be can it?? Fuck! I should confront her and find out the truth..."
Trust, but verify.

That's assuming we have fair elections, or even elections at all. Look at how much his people have done in a month, think they won't get around to completely rigging elections by the 2nd year mark for midterms, or 4th year mark for presidency? This won't stop until people literally fight back. Protests won't do a damn thing.
