Trump's behavior not "inexplicable"

The Hoarder

Kevin Drum on a typical Trump story:

 

In case you haven't gotten enough of Trump and his inexplicable desire to hold on to classified documents, today brings yet more news:

Buried in the supporting documentation for one of the motions was a document that contained a new public revelation: Once Trump realized that security cameras at Mar-a-Lago could capture his employees moving classified government information that officials were attempting to retrieve, he allegedly ensured that they would avoid the cameras when moving boxes.

Jesus. What is the deal with Trump and classified documents? Why was he so hellbent on keeping them? The answer, as with all things Trump, is most likely "because his brain is broken," but I can't stop wondering if there's anything more to it.

Rob's comment:

Seems simply the behavior of an extremely acquisitive old man. He's already said he thinks those documents belong to him. I bet he originally kept them so that he and a ghost writer could use them to write a very lucrative book. 

As soon as the government told him he had to give the documents back, the feral criminal mind kicked in, which of course meant he tried to hide them.

There's never more than a huge sense of self-interest and entitlement to everything he says and does.
