These are the greatest hits so far of Donald Trump’s excuses for allegedly getting busted mishandling top secret nuclear documents and being investigated for espionage:

  • “I declassified everything I took, so there’s nothing wrong with me having these nuclear secrets. Or for selling them to Saudi Arabia. I only made $5 per page.
