Lying about his security briefings before getting them.

The worst of Trump's claim about the Iran money transfer video is that there was some talk that he had seen it in a security briefing:

"There was speculation that perhaps Trump saw the footage during one of the classified security briefings provided to presidential nominees, but Trump's campaign chairman Paul Manafort said in an interview on Fox News earlier in the day that those briefings have not yet begun."

Not only is Trump capable of revealing classified information, he is capable of lying about what that information is.

This is truly dangerous.

that are willing to, and likely trying to help Trump. They too have an agenda that can only be advanced with a Trump presidency. Think back to Reagan and the Iran hostage mess.
