Trump Steals Secrets: Either Crime Without Motive or Multiple Personality Trait

Former President Trump is old enough and intelligent enough to have known better, but he claims to have taken the secret documents without any criminal motive, which is probably true, since he couldn’t profit from the documents unless he were a traitor, which is unlikely.

So his motive may reside in a relatively normal version of multiple personality, which I call "multiple personality trait."

I see his taking the secret documents, not as the narcissism of an adult, but as the narcissism of a child. He says that these were his secrets as President, so he just took his secrets home with him. But that is the reasoning of a child, and he is not a child, unless, in part, and in some sense, he is.

In multiple personality, the most common type of alternate personality is child-aged, because it is psychologically frozen in time at the age in childhood when it originated.

So Trump’s stealing the secrets was either multiple personality or a crime without a motive. Most people will think it is the latter, or will invent a motive, because they think that multiple personality is rare, but obvious. However, as readers of this blog know, it is neither.
