13. Could be something fringe, worth big money, that would appeal to Trump?

Something fringe but splashy and tabloid material.

He is more like PT Barnum sometimes.

Something he could sell to the the tabloids and make a mint.
Also something that would make him feel special and important.

And also damage US reputation. Show the US government as liars.

Real story behind some US historical event. Something classified.

UFOs, JFK assassination, presidential affairs, moon landing.

Anything the US hid the truth about.....and would make Trump money and make the US look bad for hiding.

He could have asked for this kind of material while in the WH.

Just brainstorming here, and guessing based on Trump's psychopathology and intellectual level.

But would the Garland even care about that kind of thing?
