Making Trump Shrink

For John, BLUF:  Every effort to denigrate Former President Trump seems to backfire.  One would think that President Trump had thwarted some Grand Democratic Party design.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

"But Trump must never have an official presidential library, and Congress should move quickly to make sure he doesn’t."

Here is the sub-headline:

Here is the lede plus one:

The case of Trump is exceptional by any standard, and he should be afforded no discretion over his records or any privilege to extend the amount of time before the public can see them.  Trump’s 2017 requirement that the National Archives withhold access to his materials until 2033 should be abrogated, and Congress should begin an extraordinary effort to recover as much of his communications legacy as possible, even material that wasn’t deemed “presidential.”

Trump’s presidency mixed public and private interests in a way that was unprecedented in modern American history, so his decisions on these matters can’t be trusted.  He incited an insurrection, and many of the people who may have participated in that, including members of Congress, are still actively engaged in public life.  The need to know who they are and what they did isn’t just a matter for the FBI, the Justice Department and prosecutors....

I am wondering when the Democratic Party is going to come up with the idea of keeping Former President Trump at sea all the time, transferring him from ship to ship, so he never comes inside the six mile limit?  Thus, they can make him a man without a country.
