Yes. The court cases would back that up. The power to declassify something rests with the POTUS. He’s the commander in chief. If Trump declassified something, then its declassified.
and yes previous presidents have kept various documents for their presidential libraries, etc. They and the national archives have often butted heads about what they could keep and what needed to be returned. None of them have ever had their homes raided by the FIB because of it.

I understand people being hyperdefensive re Trump but TRY to understand what I’m saying. I’m saying that that I think it’s not a good idea to have a blanket policy that all documents are automatically declassified when taken to Trump’s other residences. I also question whether Trump would make such a policy. It doesn’t make sense for all documents to be treated the same as some are more sensitive than others.
I’m NOT saying he didn’t have the right to classify or declassify anything he wanted. I’m NOT saying he did anything wrong or unusual in bringing any type of documents to his home.
