The Countdown To Trump Blabbing U.S. Intelligence Secrets All Over the Place Has Begun

The Countdown To Trump Blabbing U.S. Intelligence Secrets All Over the Place Has Begun
Donald Trump begins getting classified intelligence briefings tomorrow. God help us.
CHEZ PAZIENZA 20 HOURS AGO

Knowing this about him, knowing that he's pathological in his inability to control himself whenever the opportunity arises to show off -- which is, in Trump's syphilitic brain, every few minutes because there are always perceived threats to his ego -- granting him access to classified intelligence is a recipe for utter catastrophe.

Put simply, there's no way Trump will keep the information he's being given secret. He can't, precisely because it's secret, it's something he knows that most people don't, which makes that information invaluable in asserting his dominance.

It's impossible to imagine Trump not, at best, implying to his audience of rage-infected zombie yokels that we're in even worse trouble than they think because, well, "There are things I know, believe me!" or, at worst, blurting out classified information in an effort to either be a bad-ass or because Vladimir Putin stroked him under the chin just right.
