"The revelation also opens Mr. Trump to criticism of a double standard. The president made Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information through her private email server central to his campaign, leading chants of 'lock her up' at rallies. But there was never any indication that Mrs. Clinton exposed sensitive information from an ally or gave it to an adversary."
LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!
Now not even Trump is denying he gave away classified information. He's not denying the Washington post story.
He tweeted that he had every right to give away secrets. Which he does.
So after sending out his krew to deny, today Trump won't do the same.
You trumpers have been trumped. You say it was fake news, but now your orange messenger from the trailer park id of America makes you look like a naive idiot for calling the washpo story fake.
congrats - you've been made. Trump has used and abused you.
I honestly don't want to believe the Washington Post story. I don't want it to be true.
McMaster read a short, carefully-worded statement. The statement did not deny the details of the WaPo report, but said the story "as reported is false". So what does does the story get wrong and what does it get right?
But McMaster refused to take questions after reading his statement.
The mere presence of McMaster as spokesperson will be enough for many to conclude that the story is completely bogus.
I'll wait and see. I hope Trump didn't do this.
Yesterday they say Trump didn't share classified info today Trump says he has every right to share classified info with the Russians. This Administration has a very casual relationship with the truth. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY ARE FVCKING BOLD FACE LIARS!!!! I feel like I'm dreaming.....I still dont the believe AmeriKKKans elected this imbecile. Thanks poor Dumb White People....great job.

You guys don't realize that DFF is not a Trump supporter, or even a Republican. His asinine, overly childish and obtuse posts should make it clear that he's a lib who is trolling (and doing a good job) a cartoon character of a comedy version of the average Trumpette to make them look even worse. Obviously no one is really that ridiculous and over-the-top. His aim is to make Trump supporters look as stupid as possible, by portraying them in the most unflattering light possible. Think about it.

That's not what he said at all. You're- once again- conflating what he said into what you want it to be, and then uber-analyzing that fabricated statement.
You could work for CNN!

Per Trump's tweets he is taking the "I have every right to share secrets with Russia", which is actually correct. The rest of the White House communications team knows this won't fly and are looking for another way out of this mess.
But yesterday the White House and today Trump HAVE NOT DENIED WHAT HE IS ACCUSED OF.

You're clearly not a "data" person. Rural areas of the US represent just 15% of the overall population. Roughly half of that figure are men (so let's say 7.5%). But not every man in a rural area in the US is white. But let's assume "most" are. That equates to roughly 6% of the population that YOU are saying is "Trump's base." Don't you think the focus on demonizing that small group was stupid?
That's the equivalent of saying "Black females" were Clinton's base. Stupid, right? Inconsequential, right? Yes, and yes.
After experiencing such an epic defeat because of bumbled strategy and focus on inaccurate identity politics-driven poll figures, you still haven't learned.
Trump won white college grads 50-45%.
Trump won white women. Say that again- he won white women.
Trump won every income group over $50K.
Trump won 30% of Hispanics.
Trump won 13% of black men.
Deal with it. Not only deal with it, but LEARN from your mistakes. LEARN what you were fooled into believing prior to the election. LEARN that the mainstream media was- and is- lying to you on a daily basis. LEARN man, learn. You only have so much time on this planet, man, LEARN!!

You don't think that it is Trump that has been tiring?
There is constantly something new to report on him. We aren't yelling about the same thing over and over.
Take Hillary and Benghazi, for example.
There was ONE incident of a terrorist action that killed 4 American diplomats in Lybia, a dangerous country.
Republicans spent YEARS attacking and investigating Hillary over that one thing. There were formal hearings and nothing came of it.
The Trump-Russia thing is multiple news stories.
- The Russians hacked and released DNC emails
- The Russians spread fake news stories on American social media to help Trump in the election
- a number of Trump surrogates met with Russian officials during the campaign and the transition
- Michael Flynn was named security adviser by Trump and had to be fired because of his Russian connections
- Trump had Russian officials and Russian press only in the Oval Office for meetings. And the Russians released photos of the event
- Now Trump declassifies classified information to give to Russia
Trump keeps creating new events to discuss. So we discuss it.
The worst part of his presidency isn't even any Russian connection.
It's his divisiveness towards people that don't support him and his suppression of the media.
Plus nominating either unqualified people to head departments or people that are against the very departments that they are heading.
And then he tweets anything that comes to mind.
All presidential communications to the people should be carefully considered and reviewed before being delivered.
Republicans aren't all that happy with Trump either. He isn't what the party wanted.
They are enjoying the chance to pass legislation.
But they don't seem to know how to do that.

please explain.
I said Trump didn't deny the story. Which is 100% true. I said he sent out his people to deny the story. Which is 100% true (albeit mcmaster's 'denial' was a classic DC non-denial)
Please show me where what I wrote was wrong in any way. And take my words for what they are -not what you want them to be.

not illegal, because the president can declassify whatever he wants. Complete betrayal of allies who trusted the US with this info. Kiss goodbye cooperation agaisnt ISIS and other threats.
of course this has NOTHING to do with the russians helping elect fat cheetoblob
trumpers, seriously. why can you not see this guy is a danger to the nation and the world? can you please look past the R after his name? Pence! have a president Pence! he'd be fine - he would not give away secrets and actively try to destroy the constitution and norms.

Liberals- despite being the party of academia and teacher's unions- ironically are unable to LEARN from their own mistakes. It puts their extreme arrogance on display for all to see. It's quite off-putting to those folks in the middle.

Less than 50% is winning? Sweet I won second to last place in my race last week.
remember that very few people vote. trump got 63 million votes out of 320 million citizens. that's less than 20% of the country choosing our president. Not that impressive.
When we talk about a small base, that's the best expression of it.
but understood many are children, felons etc who can't vote and some of them would vote for trump if they could.
Relatedly, trump approval ratings collapsing - getting down near the April lows. And the spread is near highs also.
we'll see how lost the Dems are in midterms. if this keeps up the House will flip. Not the senate tho.

He's certainly not a lib. But I don't think he's a true Trump supporter either.
He's more of a 4chan type. Thinks he's in it for the lulz.

Yes, I saw that tweet right after I posted.
I'll still be waiting to see what McMaster says in the press briefing today. They have said he will appear with Spicer, but after Trump hung him out to dry with that tweet I'm wondering if McMaster is reconsidering if it is a good idea to go on the record again.

I still can't fathom why Trump won to be honest and I don't think anyone has really been able to identify why correctly. I think both the conservative and liberal explanations are missing something.
This isn't Jeb beating Clinton, or Romney beating Clinton. This is a clown show.
I can't wait to hear the explanations from Trump voters in 5-10 years. Most will claim they didn't vote for him.
