A Former President Stealing Nuclear Secrets Used to Be the Stuff of Fiction
If I were to pitch to you a story in which a former corrupt president of the United States absconded with top secret nuclear documents, one might assume it’s either too cliche or simply too far fetched to be plausible.
Then again, it might be just the type of Tom Clancy-esque thriller to fly off bookstore shelves.
Either way, it has to be fiction, right?
Welcome to the United States of America in the year 2022, where a former reality TV slumlord with no political experience or acumen was elected president despite losing the popular vote, was twice impeached, refuses to accept he lost re-election, and fled the White House with classified documents, some of which, we now know, contained nuclear intelligence information.
In other words, Donald Trump, former president of the United States, stole nuclear secrets.
Myriad questions abound.
To whom did he show them?
Who packed the boxes that ultimately wound up unsecured at his Florida home?
Is the $2 billion his son-in-law received from the kingdom of Saudi Arabia connected in any way?
Whose nuclear secrets are they?
