Sparky spills the beans
Shortly after he left office, former President Donald J. Trump shared apparently classified information about American nuclear submarines with an Australian businessman during an evening of conversation at Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence in Florida, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The businessman, Anthony Pratt, a billionaire member of Mar-a-Lago who runs one of the world’s largest cardboard companies, went on to share the sensitive details about the submarines with several others, the people said. Mr. Trump’s disclosures, they said, potentially endangered the U.S. nuclear fleet.
Whose idea was it to put Elmer Fudd in charge of all this?
Federal prosecutors working for the special counsel, Jack Smith, learned about Mr. Trump’s disclosures of the secrets to Mr. Pratt, which were first revealed by ABC News, and interviewed him as part of their investigation into the former president’s handling of classified documents, the people said.
According to another person familiar with the matter, Mr. Pratt is now among more than 80 people whom prosecutors have identified as possible witnesses who could testify against Mr. Trump at the classified documents trial, which is scheduled to start in May in Federal District Court in Fort Pierce, Fla.
Well, unless we get into a nuclear war first.
During his talk with Mr. Pratt, Mr. Trump revealed at least two pieces of critical information about the U.S. submarines’ tactical capacities, according to the people familiar with the matter. Those included how many nuclear warheads the vessels carried and how close they could get to their Russian counterparts without being detected.
Why was this imbecile ever allowed anywhere near such information? His mental age is 6 months.
H/t What a Maroon
He is clearly an important asset for the Russians, so right now I would guess that Putin & Co are pulling every string they can to keep Trump out of jail. But then, should he win the next presidential election, Congress could maybe order a jail cell to be added on somewhere to the White House: maybe as an annexe to the Oval Office or the West Wing.
Could only improve things.
More likely America itself will be turned into one big jail cell.
I suppose the silver lining is that he’s probably too stupid and incoherent to give an accurate picture.
But the New York Times assured me in 2016 that Donald Trump was the candidate who cared most about information security!
Maybe slightly older than 6 months, because he does have the power of speech. But you rightly observe that he is such a baby! A lot of babies are cute, or happy, but not this one. Trump-baby experiences only negative emotions. He is petulant, angry, pouty, mean, sneering, sarcastic, etc. I doubt he has ever been happy. He is lazy, but never relaxed. He “plays golf,” but he doesn’t seem to enjoy the game for its own sake. He cheats. It’s not about golf. It’s about exclusivity, rubbing shoulders with the wealthy and the powerful. It’s merely a means to an end. Money is all that matters to him.
