Donald Trump is under fire for sharing what many are alleging is classified information with Russian diplomats. Naturally, the morning after such a story breaks, Donald Trump opened up his Twitter app and decided to defend himself.
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.

To his credit, Trump’s tweets don’t discredit what others at the White House have been saying this time. There has been no outright denial that Trump shared information with the Russian diplomats visiting the White House.

Once again, Trump supporters call a damning story "fake news," only for Trump to turn around and confirm it himself. https://t.co/otOvLRArwi

You have to start wondering if these are now subconscious cries for help. If Trump wants out of the job so bad he's undermining himself.

Compromising high-value CT intelligence = innocent people dying. That simple. Don't sugarcoat Trump's appalling arrogance and stupidity.

Another day another case of people having to cover Trump’s *** after opening his big mouth and spewing forth whatever pops into his mind at the moment.
These leaks that keep continuing are someone’ s cry for help. Someone is trying to tell us something plain and simple. “Will somebody please do something about this man?”
