Trump continues to harp about the FBI "raiding" his home and taking his stuff. He is like a child, a hard-headed child. He takes things that do not belong to him, declares them his, then feigns injury when the rightful owner sends agents to take them back. Part of his problem is he does not take "classified" seriously. Trump's take is this: "It's serious when I say it's serious."
America's rivals love it. They want our top secrets and are giddy when we are cavalier about guarding those secrets. Twenty years ago, China took down an American jet that happened to stray into Chinese airspace. The Americans demanded the jet back. The Chinese responded, "We'll send it back to you when we finish with it." That jet was a form of classified material. The Chinese took it apart piece by piece.
The Iranians, likewise, took down an American drone and took it apart. (Classified.) Now, the Iranians are building such sophisticated drones, the Russians want to buy their product.
Our rivals will take our secrets any way they can get them. They will shoot them down, or they will seek them out in your wife's closet if you're foolish enough to keep America's secrets there.
