I think that's the general theme

Democrats are hurting a really good narrative (Trump is bad at this job) by sensationalizing everything into a more eyecatching but less accurate narrative

LTG McMaster just came out and confirmed WaPo's story in substance but essentially said "don't worry, it's all good." Also, the president didn't know the actual source because apparently they don't give him that information.


No he didn't.

Yep. Most folks already know he's kind of a buffoon so why turn this into another "Lol what a retard!" meme.

There is a bad situation in the country right now where you have millions of really pissed off people clicking pages on the internet, and media companies competing for their clicks by posting more and more outrageous stories, and a president who does stupid shite and feeds the vicious cycle.

Reminder: George W Bush did stupid shite ALL THE TIME. He also wasted 4 trillion dollars and killed thousands of people in the middle east. He also tried to appoint a complete layperson to the Supreme Court. If we had had social media back then like we have now, can you even imagine?

I thought for a min trump would be able to work across the isle he can't and it's not entirely his fault.

My bad it was like 2 Trillion, but still it might as well have been Eleventy Trillion when we're talking about these kinds of numbers.

That's the biggest lie that our people have ever believed. It's not partisan, it's one party wanting a totally different system than the other. It's fundamental differences.

One wants Socialism, the other wants a republic.

Cliff notes:

McMaster said what was shared was "wholly appropriate."

He also confirmed that the information was classified. He did this by saying he couldn't comment on whether it was classified or not because he cannot confirm if something is classified. However, if it were not classified, he would have said so I am sure.

He said that Trump was not briefed on the sources or methods of the information. This also was a confirmation that it was classified (there are no "sources and methods" for unclassified material).

This last bit is concerning. Either the IC doesn't trust Trump to give him details of sensitive intelligence or the IC is corrupt and has their own agenda to undermine Trump. If you will recall, when Trump first took office NYT published a story that the IC was refusing Trump intel (Trump denied it). I think the story was true.
