Trump just keeps proving he is incompetent.

Another example of the Left basing facts on assumprions. Just like when Trump had the press conference with the stack of papers that he signed to remove himself from his business interests. The Left claimed the papers were all blank...even though they never actually saw them.

Meanwhile, some idiot claimed it's great that Trump is doing national security discussions in the open at Mar-a-lago. It makes him a "man of the people" the guy claimed.

Yeah, because requiring a $200,000 initiation fee to attend the dinner shows how much he supports the little people. My gosh right wingers are truly insane and out of touch with reality.

I just read more about this. It wasn't just the staff who listened in on top secret discussions, but also about 100 or so local club members.

If this isn't an amateur hour, then I don't know what is.

What could possibly go wrong?
Oh, good Lord.

Talking about national security in front of dinner guests without security clearance is okay if you talk "in generalities?"

You can't be serious.

This is getting backlash on the news and from national security experts. Phone cameras can be hacked and people could read what documents they're lighting up. Zuckerberg has tape over his phone camera for that reason. They're leaving classified documents just laying around on the open table for anyone to see.

This is such an enormous breach of security, experts are flabbergasted.

This proves that Trump is mixing his private business with the presidency. He is visiting the wedding party of long time customers that pay him lots of money. It's a business 'meet and greet' to keep the customers happy. He's mixing this personal 'private club' business with his job as president(and he's also bringing along the Japan prime minister).

At Mar-a-Lago, Trump tackles crisis diplomacy at close range - CNNPolitics.com

...he grabbed a microphone.
"I saw them out on the lawn today," Trump said of the bride and groom, who were standing nearby. "I said to the Prime Minister of Japan, I said, 'C'mon Shinzo, let's go over and say hello.' "
"They've been members of this club for a long time," Trump said of the newlyweds. "They've paid me a fortune."
Oh, for the love of God.

Can you just imagine what the Prime Minister of Japan is telling people about this unusual visit.

"You are not going to believe this, but the President of the United States hauled us down to what he calls his "Winter House," which is his Florida home that he charges other people to use."

"I'm fairly certain he charged the American taxpayers for our stay."

"We discussed national security issues by the light of cell phones in front of total strangers. It was the oddest thing."

This has been fought over for decades and remains at the discretion of the Dept head. And it really has to be that way. The line decides.

Again the impact of Comey was sufficient to provide the minuscule margin of the Trump victory...remember he lost the popular vote badly.

She was an awful candidate. But better than the alternative. And would have won without the Comey fix.
Its getting tiring dispelling and disproving the BS you continue to push. For the sake of the readers who might otherwise be misled by the nonsense you're pushing, however, I'll continue to do so.

1) BS. It has not been "well reported" that the material involved originated in the State Department. Quite the contrary: reporting has consistently shown that materials included/sent-received on the server originated in 3-5 other intelligence agencies. For instance: Exclusive: State Dept.-released Clinton email had classified intel from 3 agencies, in possible violation | Fox News Seriously, why do you continue pushing nonsense (fake news, if you will) without a shred of evidence to back it up?

2) More BS. No, State could not just reclassify another department's OCA-based classification as its own, though State would be free to use/push out the said document generally-speaking. But the source would still be the OCA agency, which would solely be responsible for declassifying such document. Now, if State came upon the same information based on its own methods, that's another story. But no one is claiming that this occurred.

3) Comey didn't give Trump the White House. As much negative press that Trump had against him, do you honestly think one of the few bad new stories against HRC cost her the White House? Give the American people some credit.
