Just because you want there to be all these protocols -- or any protocol -- in place for presidential declassification doesn't will that into being.

Are the visible Top Secret documents in the image marked as declassified? Don't look like it to me.
They don't need to be marked as declassified. A President saying, "All the documents I've brought to Mar A Lago are hereby declassified" covers that. You don't believe he told that to anybody? Well, the burden of proving he didn't say that is on you, not him to prove that he did. Because again, no protocol.
