Trump Brings Out the Worst in His Enemies, as He Undermines Himself

If the Mar-a-Lago investigation is not the Trump classic — destroying himself while bringing out the worst in his opposition — I don’t know what is.

In yesterday’s column, I noted in passing that the FBI snapped a photo of some of the classified documents seized in Trump’s Florida estate. I don’t know who thought this was a good idea. I’d have guessed it must have been some over-exuberant young agents . . . except this was the search of a former president’s home, in an effort to seize what the Justice Department suspected would be some of the nation’s most closely guarded defense secrets. I have to assume that the FBI sent the A-Team, not the clown car, to run this operation.
