It's more that he's just so dumb. Even W wasn't that dumb.
Not really a surprise to me. It was obvious even before he was elected, or even before he wanted to be president. What surprises me is that it doesn't matter at all what he says or does, it's like one big joke.

So Trump confirmed on twitter that he did give classified intelligence to the russians and his staff are liars. He just doesn't get it does he?
He shares classified intel with a foreign adversary yet he's complaining that he had asked Comey to find leakers but nothing happened. I knew he would be incompetent but honestly not this incompetent.

Honestly, I wasn't quite sure when he got elected but by now it's clear that he's just an idiot, plain and simple. He's just not nearly as intelligent as the bare minimum for such a job would be.

And I don't even blame him for anything he does anymore. I do blame the people responsible for him ever coming near the office though.

It's been like watching that scene in Game of Thrones where the Grand Sparrow is being all triumphant and shit, but really the floor's about the blow the fuck up.

So Fox News made up a story with a Private Investigator about Seth Rich being the source of Wikileaks DNC hacks. Now his family says it's bullshit, and the Private Investigator says he actually has no evidence of Seth Rich communicating with wikileaks, and he was only told there was evidence by a fox news reporter. :lol2:

But it's always the "leftist MSM" that makes up news. :howler:

So that's why the alt-right conspiracy machine has been grinding its gears today. :sergio:

Conservative pundit Erick Ericsson:

I tend to take these stories about the President with a grain of salt. We have seen key details of a number of salacious stories retracted within 48 hours. The media hates the President so much that they’ll run a negative story about him without very much provocation. Anti-Trump sources embedded within the administration in the career civil service, etc. will leak to the press and confirmation bias sets in.

What sets this story apart for me, at least, is that I know one of the sources. And the source is solidly supportive of President Trump, or at least has been and was during Campaign 2016. But the President will not take any internal criticism, no matter how politely it is given. He does not want advice, cannot be corrected, and is too insecure to see any constructive feedback as anything other than an attack.

So some of the sources are left with no other option but to go to the media, leak the story, and hope that the intense blowback gives the President a swift kick in the butt. Perhaps then he will recognize he screwed up. The President cares vastly more about what the press says than what his advisers say. That is a real problem and one his advisers are having to recognize and use, even if it causes messy stories to get outside the White House perimeter.

I am told that what the President did is actually far worse than what is being reported. The President does not seem to realize or appreciate that his bragging can undermine relationships with our allies and with human intelligence sources. He also does not seem to appreciate that his loose lips can get valuable assets in the field killed.

You can call these sources disloyal, traitors, or whatever you want. But please ask yourself a question — if the President, through inexperience and ignorance, is jeopardizing our national security and will not take advice or corrective action, what other means are available to get the President to listen and recognize the error of his ways?

This is a real problem and I treat this story very seriously because I know just how credible, competent, and serious — as well as seriously pro-Trump, at least one of the sources is.
@Bjerknes

Are you still going to defend this cretin you elected? Far worse than what has been reported.

What are those military members you know saying now? Because they would for damn sure be court-martialled for doing what Trump just did.

Spin away. :hihi:

I wonder how he feels about being wrong twice, on different ends of the spectrum? At least with Obama you can understand how one can fall for him. With this guy, you've to be special not to have seen it coming.

looks like he's talking about some 4-year-old child who already knows everything better than his parents.

I think this is it for trump


The comey notes will take him down


NY Times:

Mr. Comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after Mr. Flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo. The memo was part of a paper trail Mr. Comey created documenting what he perceived as the president’s improper efforts to influence an ongoing investigation. An F.B.I. agent’s contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations.
