Why does Occam's razor not apply?

[Atticus]

Is not the simplest and most obvious explanation of tfg's theft and concealment of highly classified nuclear-related documents that he intended to sell them for cash or trade them for favors to foreign adversaries of the US?

What other motivations are reasonable?

[Pantagruel]

1. Souvenirs?

LMAO!!

[leftieNanner]

2. Could Be!

He loved the image of being the All Powerful One and he kept those documents to sustain the fantasy.

Or he just took them to sell for cash.

9. i'm hoping there's a little souvenir from a trip to jeffie's island.

3. Taking them just to have them is the simplest/Occam's razor explanation.

[unblock]

7. Theft virtually always involves either monetizing or using the stolen items

Stealing just to have it as a trophy of sorts may happen sometimes, but very, very rarely.

4. that isn't the simplest explanation

the simplest is he is a narcissist and thinks those are HIS documents.

8. I think that's pretty much it.

I never ascribe complex motivations to Trump.

5. Putin has his {strike}balls{/strike} two marbles in a vise? . . . nt

6. Possession is nine tenths of the law?

Just having them is the big juju?

[usonian]

10. What if he intended to blackmail the entire world from his bunker?

Just saying....

11. I thought the easiest answer was that Vlad or MBS instructed him to which documents they would

want and TFG delegated that task to one or more of his minions.
