It's a Double Rainbow Week…
I see all these folks on videos and TV wondering just why Trump held on so tenaciously to those Tippy-Top Secret documents…and it may just be, as the most common speculation says, that he thought there were ways he could swap or share them for power and/or bucks. That's a perfectly logical, in-character motive.
But you have to wonder — well, I have to wonder — if maybe Donald couldn't turn loose of the rush of being The Most Powerful Person on Earth, as most presidents think they are. And maybe he loved the feeling of sitting in the Oval Office, knowing he had all this secret information that could alter the world, including the power to bomb some other country out of existence. And maybe if he really and truly believed he'd beaten Joe Biden in a landslide, he couldn't bear to have all of that thrill wrenched away from him.
Maybe. But more likely, it was just the power and/or bucks.
