Comment:

 @JonezJeA What do mean by "readable"? You want to be able to go into the
 edit post screen for a trashed post?

 I would suggest using the "draft" post status to inspect/edit a post's
 contents without publishing it.

 However, this does bring up a minor UI/UX issue: when a post is in the
 trash, the user's only option is to "restore" the post's pre-trash status.
 Something that was once published that you trashed, you might want to take
 a look at again, but restoring it would mean making it a live post again,
 and then immediately change the post status to draft.
