Trump Is Mad the FBI Wore Shoes in His Bedroom

Former President Trump spent the weekend raving about the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago club last month. And this time, he’s got a new gripe: The agents, he said, failed to remove their footwear while searching his bedroom for sensitive government records.

Trump claimed, without evidence, that the agents turned his Palm Beach, Florida, property upside-down during their Aug. 8 search in a post on his Truth Social network.

“It was ‘ransacked,’ and in far different condition than the way I left it,” Trump wrote after he finally returned to Mar-a-Lago this weekend to have a look himself. “Many Agents - And they didn’t even take off their shoes in my bedroom. Nice!!!”

Trump is a famous germaphobe and seems to have found the idea of federal agents galumphing through his boudoir galling. But the objection also underscored the split-screen gap between the amount of deference Trump often claims he’s owed by investigators and the stiff punishments he demands for others.

If you don't want people walking through your bedroom with shoes on, don't keep classified shit in your bedroom. Easy-peasy.

They are the only thing that stayed in his bedroom for over a minute. All other business was taken care of very quickly.

11. Well, hell, that is legal reason for throwing out all of that "so called" evidence.

It is the ancient legal principal of shoeus wearus.

Trump would have been thrilled about what I would have done in the corner of his bedroom.

Now, tell me he has OCD that manifest as a fear of contamination by germs (as a symptom of OCD), and that I'll believe.
