Why did Trump have these top secret documents?

Seems like no one is asking this. Why did he have them? For what purpose? No other former president left office with a cache of top secret documents. So, what was he doing with them?

My crazy prediction for the 2024 Republican Presidential nominee

Nikki Haley.

I don't think that the midterms will be a definitive win as the Republicans are hoping for. They'll lose the GA and PA senate seats, and the PA loss will be the most interesting. Fetterman is not your typical Democrat and not your typical PA Senator either. PA senators tend to be very middle of the road including Republicans. Fetterman is proudly left of center.

Which shows that the Democratic party, as a whole, is moving more and more away from centrist, neo-liberalism. They're returning to their Social Democratic, FDR roots. One big reason for this is that the Republican party has gotten so insane that moderates will go along with the Democrats as they have no other place to go. You're either in the Trump cult or you're not. There's no middle ground.

Haley represents someone that moderates in both parties can vote for. A return to sanity by the Republican party. Yes, she's very right wing, but the corporate media, and the corporate world in general, is desperate to wring the party away from the Trumpists. They will paint her in the best light possible. She will be presented as a savior of the country from Trump's fascism.

"FPOTUS"

The acronym that DOJ is using in its court filings to describe Trump. "FPOTUS" really fits.

--On Edit--

FPOTUS = Felonious President of the United States

In Search of Car-Free America: Why Walkable Places Are Popular for Vacation but Not Everyday Living

The American culture, housing, and infrastructure serves to isolate us. Keep us away from strangers at all times. Thus, breeding ignorance of each other which is then compounded by the massive right wing media machine which feed that ignorance.

Humans are social animals, but we have constructed our lives in contrast to human socialization. This is why when we go on vacation, we seek out walkable places so that we can socialize.

Didn't the US execute the Rosenbergs for doing what Trump may have been trying to do?

Or do I have that wrong? I'm okay with being wrong.
