Remember, The reason Trump took the documents may not be a logical reason.

[fightforfreedom]

His brain is not normal, Not even close. He may have done it just because he believed they were his, I'm president. He may have done in an attempt to keep it away from Biden and Democrats. He may have done it to protect himself in some way. Who the hell knows.

It is logical to assume Trump may have took them to sell, make a profit, but with Trump you never know.

1. Yup, possible... Narcissists like their "stuff"...

They assign value to their things to prove to themselves and to others how great they are, what they've done, or what they've been a part of. This is based on my observations from personal experience.

2. Trophies

Like when serial killers keep some personal property of their victims, usually something that proves they were at the crime scene, and usually something intimate, like a piece of jewelry or state secrets.

3. It doesn't matter WHY. Only that he did.

LOCK HIM UP!!!

6. Right. I was about to say, "so what?- he took 'em"

4. Money is the primary motivator in his life.

If he had access to them, and he wanted them, he would simply take them, with no thought of security or anything else. But, he would only take them if he saw some future monetary reward from them.

5. He is sociopath and narcissist. His motives are quite predictable, and logical for his pathology.

7. Very good point.

But regardless of his motives, he did not have a legal right to take the documents.

8. Trump cares about two things

Donald Trump Sr and Donald Trump Sr

Somehow, the reason relates to one of those two things.

9. I think he took the stuff because he has never gotten around to reading it.

He has trouble reading and wanted extra time to process. My guess is he never did look at any of it.
