His entire life's business model has been a combination of don't pay suppliers, sell your own equity before walking away from the train wreck and lying about how successful he is to attract new suckers.

Archives Found Possible Classified Material in Boxes Returned by Trump
The National Archives consulted with the Justice Department about the discovery after the former president sent back documents that he had improperly taken from the White House when he left office.
By Reid J. Epstein and Michael S. Schmidt
Feb. 9, 2022
The National Archives and Records Administration discovered what it believed was classified information in documents Donald J. Trump had taken with him from the White House as he left office, according to a person briefed on the matter.
The discovery, which occurred after Mr. Trump returned 15 boxes of documents to the government last month, prompted the National Archives to reach out to the Justice Department for guidance, the person said. The department told the National Archives to have its inspector general examine the matter, the person said.
It is unclear what the inspector general has done since then, in particular, whether the inspector general has referred the matter to the Justice Department.
An inspector general is required to alert the Justice Department to the discovery of any classified materials that were found outside authorized government channels.

White House residential staff reportedly found wads of printed paper clogging Trump's toilet
https://theweek.com/donald-trump/101000 ... r-cloggingNew York Times reporter Maggie Haberman unveiled the name and title of her book on former President Donald Trump on Thursday, and Axios, which says Haberman's Confidence Man will be "the book Trump fears most," got a sneak peak at some of her discoveries. Trump, for instance, reportedly has told people he has kept in contact with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un since leaving office. But the most eye-catching scoop involves clogged toilets.
Whiile Trump was in office, White House residence staff would occasionally discover wads of printed paper clogging a toilet and believed Trump had tried to flush it down, Axios reports, citing Haberman's book. Trump was, at times, fixated on toilets that wouldn't flush, as The Washington Post's Philip Bump noted.
Axios calls Trump's reputed toilet-clogging "a vivid new dimension to his lapses in preserving government documents," a polite nod to the 15 boxes of papers the National Archives had to retrieve from Mar-a-Lago last month to put Trump in compliance with the Presidential Records Act, his possible mishandling of classified documents, and his habit of ripping up papers after reading them, among other long-reported compliance issues.
Top White House officials were so "deeply concerned" about Trump's handling of sensitive national security material that one of this chiefs of staff, John Kelly, "tried to stop classified documents from being taken out of the Oval Office and brought up to the residence because he was concerned about what Mr. Trump may do with them and how that may jeopardize national security," the Times reported Wednesday.
Former Trump aide Omarosa Manigault Newman wrote in her 2018 Trump White House book, Unhinged, that she saw Trump "put a note in his mouth" in the Oval Office "appeared to be chewing and swallowing the paper," a shocking action for a famous "germaphobe."
You can read more about Haberman's reporting at Axios. Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America comes out Oct. 4.

<--- yeah this
Though I would make a gut feeling guess that the WH does not drain its sewage directly into the public D.C. sewage system buy filters it first on premises for exactly this reason that confidential material does not suddenly float in the Potomac. Of course the former idj0t-in-chief would try to hide his wrong doings

I was listening to Kilmeade on the radio this morning (I think it was Kilmeade, sounded like him,) he was trying to excuse the whole document-gate as Trump "just trying to hold on to mementos from the WH, no big deal."

Other nations give gifts to the current president. They belong to the United States government. I guess presidents can buy those from the government if they want to keep them. How much do you want to bet that Trump has a boatload of presidential gifts that he just took?
