Good morning. Look, any of us with hoarding tendencies will understand the impulse. I have several cardboard boxes tucked away stuffed with pungent reminders of the past, ranging from underwhelming school reports to my first published article (a diary piece about Tom Jones’ alleged sexual prowess, as it goes). Luckily, since I am not and never have been president of the United States, literally no one cares.
For Donald Trump and Joe Biden, it’s a bit different. The documents that Trump squirrelled away at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida resort, included top secret files and sensitive intelligence on Iran and China; the items found at Joe Biden’s private office included intelligence memos and briefings on Ukraine, Iran, and the UK. You can see why people would be worried.
