As President I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining….

…to terrorism and airline flight safety. Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism.

Setting aside the obvious fact that Trump clearly has no idea of what classified information is, nor has any desire or ability to learn what it is, we also have to remember that Trump says whatever comes into his head at any given moment. If it contradicts something he said a day ago, or an hour ago, so what? His fans don’t care.

Always remember, if a Democratic Presidential Candidate who has retroactively classified information on a server is “leaking information”. A Republican President who repeats highly classified information in a room where he invited a foreign power to bring recording equipment, is “sharing”.

Then the Russian security leak, in the Oval Office

The Comey says that The Donald asked him to stop investigating Flynn and the Russian connection…

Hat Trick! Trifecta!

Just not enough popcorn!
