There is no better analysis of Trump's motivation than Fintan O’Toole’s essay in The New York Review of Books, The Ultimate Deal:
"Secrets are a kind of currency. They can be hoarded, but if kept for too long they lose their value. Like all currencies, they must, sooner or later, be used in a transaction—sold to the highest bidder or bartered as a favor for which another favor will be returned. To see the full scale of Donald Trump’s betrayal of his country, it is necessary to start with this reality. He kept intelligence documents because, at some point, those secrets could be used in a transaction. What he was stockpiling were the materials of treason. He may not have known how and when he would cash in this currency, but there can be little doubt that he was determined to retain the ability to do just that."
Another thought: Trump also collects trophies. Clearly, he considered these documents to be trophies of his inside information and status level.
Trump collected two things throughout his life: bargaining chips and status symbols (trophies). Status symbols are worthless without display. Thus, Trump displayed them on occasion to people without clearance. We know of a few. I bet there were many more.
These documents were status symbols and bargaining chips and potential get-out-of-financial-ruin cards...if sold to the highest bidder. The fact that an alarming rate of intelligence agents were killed or exposed in 2021 combined with the Saudi 2 billion dollar investment into Jared Kushner post Trump presidency ties motive together. Trump runs a shell game, constantly distracting the public while he commits treason for personal gain.

I feel like people aren't getting it. In. The. Books. Perseus. Jackson. Is. An. Unreliable. Narrator. This goes for everything he thinks. Percy loves his mother, so he writes her praises. In the show we get to see what Sally does from an outside POV not filtered through a child that idolizes his mother. It's not ooc for Sally to act like she does in the show. she's a single mother raising a neurodivergent, Demigod, and she's scared that when the Gods get to him they'll corrupt him. She's not suddenly a girl boss we're getting to see her for how she is.
#percy jackson#sally jackson#“sHe sToOd uP tO gABe sHe wOuLdnT dO tHat' she did it because percy needed to get to montock so she could tell him about how hes a demigod#sally as a character will do anything for her son. gabe being abusive doesnt negate what she needs to. do for her son. in in the book the#second gabe was no longer needed she turned him into a statue and sold him to to the highest bidder. she was putting up with the abuse for#percys sake. and this is then woman that grebbed a gun and started fighting in the battle of Manhattan. shes not weak. you can be two things#she can be motherly and strong. and obviously she has her douts. she thinks shes failing. she called posiden when it was too much and he#reassured her she was doing her best and she needs to do what she thinks is best. and we are only seeing some scenes#we're seeing whats relevant to the plot and whats relative is sally preparing Percy. and she obviously cares for her son and her son for her#she has to be a good mother cus percy is literally going to the underworld to save her. just stfu about the book#ive read the books to but some of you are awful. like no adaptation is to the letter. somethings had to be cut or glossed over and some are#changed because money or that a book is a different medium then a show or movie! you cant do everything cus its impossible.#were in a completely different pov. we're not in Percys head seeing his thoughts.#pjo series#pjo#pjo tv show#percy jackson and the olympians#percy series#batcavescoloy watches the PJO tv show#batcavescolony watches

“You look better without the hat.”
XianYao prompt from the lovely @limitbreaker23 (you’re enabling me so badly, I swear)
#mdzs#xianyao#wei wuxian#jin guangyao#meng yao#art prompt#mdzs art#my art#tol and smol#it’s all about the ✨height difference✨#im already getting fic ideas that would unfortunately require me to actually reread the book (specifically the sunshot campaign)#something something after the war jgs still doesn’t acknowledge meng yao and he somehow ends up in lotus pier or somewhere adjacent#peaceful living doesn’t suit his tastes and he starts picking up dirty work from local sect leaders#assassinations—information theft—spying#he pretty much starts building a jianghu-wide spy network and hiring himself out to the highest bidder#not sure where I’m going with this#but either wwx is hunting him down on behalf of yunmeng jiang#or he becomes his information dealer#fic ideas

Feyre: So we need someone to distract Eris for the alliance
Rhysand: We can send Elain or Nesta since I refuse to allow my pregnant house wife out of my sight in the night court.
Feyre: Nesta do you want to-
Nesta: No.
Rhysand: Alright then it’s Elain
Nesta: I volunteer as tribute!
Rhysand: *evil grin* just as planned.
Cassian: Over my dead body!
Rhysand: What the hell bro?!
#acotar#sjm critical#anti rhysand#anti feysand#nesta archeron#anti inner circle#a court of thorns and roses#they tried to sell her to the highest bidder I swear#didn’t consult anyone if they were ok with this#just using their ‘friends’ and family like chess pieces#free will my shiny metal ass#anti cassian#anti nessian

Their- your?- screams echo fruitlessly. Sensation fades and comes into focus all at once as you are no longer you and become yourself, replaced by thirds and replacing your Whole with yourselves. The world is experienced threefold only momentarily. Your memories are already fading. Who... are you?

Coordination in the notes is not only allowed, but encouraged! Talk about the story you want! However, do NOT start discourse over results!
If an option is there, there's a way I can take the story if it wins. No options are "just for laughs"
Feel free to suggest ways the plot can go based on results! I'm happy to crowdsource! :3
Apologies for how difficult that challenge was, I severely overestimated how coordinated tumblr dot com could be... But hey! You guys did good for a while! I remember checking in a lot throughout the week and freaking out over how close things were!

Hi! I happened upon your fic Highest Bidder yesterday and read it all since then and it was SO good. I was wondering if you like talking about your fics/plans for sequels etc? I know it’s a bit older of a fic so no worries if not! It was just so good I’m buzzing with the thoughts of their beautiful characterization 🥲
Someone wanting to talk about my fics.
Me:
No but for real, anon, thank you for this message. It made my day. 💗 I'm so happy to hear new readers are still occasionally finding my stories. 🥰 Even though I'm not very active in the fandom anymore I love all my fics and will never tire of talking about them--or writing in general. So, everyone, ask away or drop into my dms!
And anon, I'm petting your head and giving you little forehead kisses!

gasped initially at the face charles is serving when the camera panned to him but yeaaaaaaa not understanding why they felt the need to show us sharl’s reaction.
#well i do understand but wasn’t aware we’re all under the same understanding#mr cameraman why did u feel it necessary to show live wag charles reaction#that’s proud wifeyyyyy#proud wifey with a bun in the oven#if im omega auctioning this this is live footage of charles about to be presented to his highest bidder#such a fan of omega auction life today.

sits here and thinks of ways i can make miranda's life So Much Worse via minor worldbuilding additions to really rub it in that she's had her entire life planned out so extensively for her that she's basically only involved as the last guarantee that it all comes to pass and she's already dead before she was ever even born
#all the care guide says is 'biomass'#i'm smiling because i eat skin: the fic#oh you know. the perks of being the prize pig. the benefits to living in a gilded cage.#absolutely no self autonomy in the slightest but who cares! what else could she want!#she was already sold off to the highest bidder long before she was even conceived
