“Of course they did! They may have been the boxes etc. that were openly and plainly brought from the White House, as is my right under the Presidential Records Act,” Trump posted on social media.

    Right? He wants all the unofficial but traditional perks and benefits of being a president without being bound by all the traditional obligations and expectations of the office.

    It’s like he thinks being rich gives him an exception to all this shit, but he’s to stupid to realize that MOST American Presidents are rich, many of them more than he’ll ever be.

    That’s Trump’s whole life. He thinks being rich cures him of rules and obligations, but then he wants into “high society” because of the access and authority that it provides. But that price of admission to that circle isn’t JUST about being rich, it’s about following the very rules that Trump doesn’t feel bound by.

    It’s why the only thing he can think to do with the office of the president is trying to find cool stuff to show people to make people fonally like him.

    This is America, even rich people can be trash.
