Help me out here regarding Trump's "leaks".

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Is he claiming what's being "leaked" is actually confidential, classified information pertaining to our national security?

Or, rather, is what's being leaked merely embarrassing gossip about the administration and the various factions within?

1. If the former

he is admitting guilt, imo

2. Narcissist...

he thinks any thing he disagrees with is a crime.

3. It is not illegal....it is a fire-able offense but these leakers are not going to jail.

4. That sounds like a challenge to the Trump-Bannon cabal, not a statement. nt

5. Clearly number 2.

But to a narcissist, any negative information is perceived as a direct personal attack.

6. The sad thing is, he invited the leaks by placing a known Russian asset

in a position of security advisor with access to the nation's most closely guarded secrets. It is unbelievable that he kept him there until this was exposed and public outcry demanded a response. Anyone who is more concerned about punishing the people who put themselves in jeopardy by sounding the alarm is complicit in treason.

7. he confirms that they were intelligence sources

...not fake news.

8. He's not sure...

It appears that 45 simply does not approve of any information dissemination which accurately reflects activities taking place in/around the White House....

45 seems to believe that he alone determines what is a matter of "National Security"...
as well as
what is to be considered "legal" & "illegal"
"confidential"
"True" or "untrue"

And in all cases he seems to think his authority is absolute.
Basically, a 70 year old Kim Jong Un.

9. It's an administration that puts black bags over press windows
