    Months after leaving the White House, former President Donald Trump allegedly discussed potentially sensitive information about U.S. nuclear submarines with a member of his Mar-a-Lago Club

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-missiles-submarines-idUSKBN18K15Y
    U.S. President Donald Trump told his Philippine counterpart that Washington has sent two nuclear submarines to waters off the Korean peninsula, the New York Times said, comments likely to raise questions about his handling of sensitive information.

    As I have been saying, Trump is worse than Benedict Arnold. Anyone else would be in jail. Amazing MAGAs actually consider themselves patriots.

    I sure as hope this man goes to jail, ASAP, for the rest of his life, in solitaire, even then he is getting off light.

    Why would Trump need to know this information?

    Excellent question!!
    All Presidents are privy to that information. They get it in their briefings but why this lying, traitorous SOB was given it is a real mystery. After his meeting with Putin with no one else there, he shouldn't have been given a damn thing.

    You missed my point. What was going on that Trump needed to know those details?

    Trump was recorded showing a reporter top-secret Iranian invasion plans at Mar-a-Lago.

    It's one of the exhibits in the trial of the documents stolen from the National Archives.

    So this submarine story is entirely plausible.

    I didn't miss your point. Your point isn't relevant.
    Who knows what was going on?!! Who cares?!!
    The point is he talked about this when he was out of office.

    The court will come to its predetermined conclusion.

    However, in the same recording, Trump tells the journalist that he's showing her classified documents.

    But he will have the opportunity to explain to the judge that he was making a joke...

    If Biden had done the same thing, MAGAs would demand he be executed.

    But since it's Trump, they're desperate to excuse him.

    Showing classified material, up until the point that he deemed it otherwise.

    You have nothing.

    Though nothing, wont stop a corrupt system of dems.

    I have a little more than nothing.

    I have an FBI raid to seize hundreds of boxes of classified documents, some of which were "stored" in the bathrooms at Mar-a-Lago.

    I have a grand jury that voted to bring criminal charges against Trump.

    I have the arrest of a former POTUS.

    I have a trial with 37 counts (only for this trial).

    And I have the former US attorney general saying Trump is toasted.

    Did you know that if Trump is convicted of just 10% of the charges against him he will be sent to prison for 15 years?

    The good news is that Trump can count on you, a totally devoted MAGA who will send him a lot of money to "save the country."

    I don't get your point. Are you saying the Commander in Chief should not know of full details of US military capacity?

    Being Biden isn’t competent enough to discuss anything with coherency, I think this is a win for Trump

    ?? All presidents are entitled to daily security briefings. They are not allowed to share. My understanding, though, is he discussed stuff he had stored in his bathrooms and ballrooms.

    And I reckon there is at least logic to this. Humpty files three patently frivolous motions in three different criminal actions against him to put up a smoke screen over the breach of security Humpty/Pratt.

    It's certainly unreasonable to accept it as true at face value. But it is equally unreasonable to outright reject it as false just because you happen to like Trump. The appropriate middle ground is to decide how much credibility this rumor deserves. I say it is about 20% credible because (1) it appears to be anonymous, and (2) I don't think Trump has the wherewithal to speak intelligently about submarines.

    I could have guessed with a reasonable certainty that at least one nuclear sub, if not more, is stationed within striking distance of North Korea. I would expect the North Koreans, Russians, and Chinese would also know with a 99% certainty that the U.S. has sub(s) patrolling the waters within striking distance of North Korea.

    Is this really "sensitive" information? Sounds a lot more like common sense to me.

    Is how many nuclear warheads they carry and how close they can get to the opposition without being detected in the public domain?

    Just when Trump hits a new low, MAGAs keep digging, shamelessly.
