Maybe that's why he wanted to buy land here and be Guv'nor General?

I'm a photographer.
Really? I have a cousin who is a photographer.
That's a co-incidence! I have a cousin who is a queen!
Trump has OTHER legal difficulties in addition to the theft of government documents & mishandling of CLASSIFIED documents at Mar-a-Largo:
• The Fulton County DA is investigating Trumps attempt to overturn (steal) GA 2020 election results
• The DoJ IS investigating Trump's involvement in the Jan 6 insurrection
• The Manhattan DA is investigating whether Trump org misled investors about Trump's wealth (and what involvement he might personally have had in that)
• The NY State Attorney General is investigating Trump's finances for tax evasion & fraud
• The DC Police & House Democrats are suing Trump for inciting Jan 6 violence
• E. Jean Carroll is still suing Trump for Defamation (arising out of an alleged sexual assault). In addition to denying the assault, Trump called her a liar, which "damaged her reputation, substantially harmed her professionally, and caused emotional pain"
•Trump's niece Mary Trump is suing Donald Trump for swindling her out of her share of an inheritance
•Michael Cohen is suing for "retaliation for his protected speech.". Cohen was released from prison to home confinement due to Covid. When Trump found out about Cohen's book, Cohen was sent BACK to prison and held in Solitary Confinement until a Federal judge ordered his release. The suit includes Trump, Attorney General William Barr, the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and the Warden of the Federal Correctional Institution in Otisville, New York.
These are just the ones I've heard about. Trump uses litigation as a smokescreen and delaying tactic. But his current opponents are NOT going to be cowed or run out of money.

And finally (for now) - I spent most of today down at the DMV to renew my driver's license, which NOW will NOT expire soon. I expected to spend a long day there. I went down this morning and was told I had to have an appointment. Fortunately they will MAKE appointments between 8:00AM and 10:00AM, and I was able to make an appointment for 1:00PM. It only took a little over 3 hours from my appointment time before I was able to go through the process & get my temporary renewal (the real license will arrive in my mailbox within 15 days or so).
I noticed they are excruciatingly under-staffed. And I believe this IS a DELIBERATE PLOT.
Back several years ago the North Carolina Legislature was controlled by RepubliQans who passed a voter PHOTO ID law. They tightened restrictions on who could issue acceptable forms of ID, and mainly you have to have either a NC Driver's License or a NC DMV issued non-driver PHOTO ID. There are other IDs that are acceptable - Military ID, U.S. Passport, ... but NOT College IDs.
At the same time they cut the DMV's budget so their offices will be overwhelmed most of the time by just the regular issuance of Driver's Licenses. The added burden of providing the non-driver PHOTO ID (and the restrictions on what documents are acceptable to obtain it) are deliberately designed to discourage people who don't drive from voting, by denying them acceptable ID.
This overwhelmingly affects Black Americans and other poor Americans (who for whatever reason do not drive), which is why the courts have stayed implementation of the Voter PHOTO-ID law.
But the bottom line is the wait times at DMV are deliberately intended to deprive American Citizens (who are not likely to vote RepubliQan) of their Constitutional Rights. I lost count of the number of people who were turned away because they didn't have an appointment, but I did notice they were overwhelmingly non-white.
To repeat ...
"The goal of the Republican party is to make its control of the US government as immune to democratic opinion as Putin’s regime remains for the moment."
The RepubliQan party was a corrupt, anti-American organization long before Donald J. Trumpolini came along. He didn't steal the party, he is the apotheosis of the RepubliQan party.
