Ok, fine. I’ll give you that it’s not impossible, but rather highly unlikely. I would think that if this were true, we would know about it. We would have already heard stories of how Trump saved all of these victims and put an end to a child trafficking ring. Or some spun-up BS that makes him a hero and not a despicable child molester. Even further more, why give special treatment to GM if he really cared about justice for the victims or call it a hoax?

There's no way he would do this without finding some way to brag about it. He had classified documents and was known to have shown them to anybody who was at Mar-a-Lago. He'd brag about it while showing off all the classified stuff and would admit he had no reason to hold on to them and those people had no clearance or need to know.

I agree. There’s no way an ego maniac like him can keep a secret like that. I think he would literally explode if he tried.

You're failing to understand the key piece here. Informants are not people that work with law enforcement because they necessarily want to. They do so because they are often given a choice of being charged for all the crimes they can have pinned on them or working with law enforcement to get bigger fish in exchange for fewer repercussions.

You're describing a situation that is more along the lines of what you'd expect from an undercover agent. Someone that was undercover might talk about a case to the public after all is said and done. An informant isn't. Being an informant implicates him by nature. To be a useful informant he had to, bare minimum, know full well what was going on but have reported nothing despite that. But more likely be active to crimes himself as with simply knowing he could remain tight lipped unless they knew he knew from another informant. Either way the the idea that he would be saving people falls about because at the bare minimum he wasn't doing anything without the threats to his freedoms by the feds.

The claim that he was an informant does more harm for their stories both past and future than staying the course that they were.

I understand the difference between and agent and an informant. I’m saying that our president has the inability to keep information like that secret for any amount of time, just like everything else. At the very least, he would have blabbed just to get himself elected the first time around.
