I don’t know what is more alarming, the New York Times report that administration officials were so worried about Trump giving away classified information that they leaked this to the NY Times or that they were somewhat reassured by the fact that Trump “rarely digs into the details of the intelligence he is shown and is not well versed in the operational specifics of military or covert activities.”
We have a president who is unmoored from reality and from the consequences of his actions. If this alone doesn’t make him psychologically unfit for office I don’t know what does.
I wonder just how long he’ll be able to defy the laws of physics. We can only hope that sometime after Nov. 6th the balloon will burst.
Consider what former White House Chief Information Officer for Pres. George W. Bush Theresa Payton told Axios: noting that it’s tough to assess just how bad things are “without knowing what information was accessed, when, and how.” she added:
“What it could mean, in a worst-case scenario, is that China and Russia have had access to the president’s most intimate and delicate conversations, and that they could be using that knowledge to exploit perceived weaknesses and gain an upper hand in trade negotiations and possibly even military operations.”
“If true, this may be the largest, most significant breach of White House communications in history.”
