  1. Sorry, the Trump liar, narcissist in chief wants to take all the glory. In his mind, he’s playing Rambo and is with our troops during the assault. There is no way that anyone, except Trump, leaks our national secrets.

  2. Sooner or later (if not already), he’s going to say something on camera that gets people killed. He’s already tweeted a photo with the GPS coordinates of a covert operation and revealed the face of an operative. He. Is. Dangerously. Stupid.

    1. @TheFuck6666 nope, US Citizen. America is getting woke to the lies of the MSM. They are trying to divide this nation. Truth will expose the darkness.

    2. @Mike Guidera you think donny will get hong kong the “kurd deal”? how about we run out on korea, let china & donnys lover pen pal kim get it. are you in the pig pen w/kim&donny

  3. Bigmouth Rump says the Dems would leak information but let me the president tell the Russian and the Turks how we did the raid so you can know what and how we did it.

    1. And that prisoners were taken for interrogation – valuable information that ISIS doesn’t even have to wonder about, now. Trump spilled the beans – again. Would have been better to tell Pelosi or one of the Dems he simpered about being leaky, and let them handle the press conference.

  4. I could only wonder how this happened despite his pulling troops out, and not following chain of command notify Congress so UN presidential

  5. He’s already leaked details that can hurt future operations. He cares about adulation and money. He doesn’t care about hurting people or National Security.

    1. Mike Guidera Very interesting. I’d like to know more about how his actions in Ukraine further American interests. Can you fill me in.

    2. @Samma Vitae would be happy to tell the truth vs the lies from the MSM. First of all, the Ukraine contacted Giuliani first. Not the other way around. Officials over there wanted to expose the corruption they had seen first hand, and contacted Guiliani with documents taken under oath showing the corruption of Biden forcing the Pres. of Ukraine to fire a prosecutor to stop the investigation of the company where his son, Hunter, was placed on the Board of Dir. making extraordinary amounts of money with no experience. It had nothing to do with “digging up dirt ” on Biden. Second the conversation with new President was not inappropriate at all. Trump did not force the Pres. to do anything. The President himself said he was not pressured in any way. No money ever was exchanged for quid pro quo. The aid was eventually given to the Ukraine. The President of the Ukraine had no knowledge that it was with held to pressure him. All these whistleblowers testimony is ridiculous because the transcript was released 4 weeks ago. We dont need a whistleblowers testimony, because we the people can read it for ourselves. This whole impeachment effort is nonsense and will backfire like every other attempt from the Dems.

    3. @Thomas Purcell The wall is being built. Seriously, how does an open border help us a country? What is to stop criminals from just walking in. What is to stop people that want only handouts to just walk in? Do you want to pay for people that dont want to obey the law and come in legally? My wife is a foreigner and she came in legally, went through the immigration process. Took her years to do it and alot of her hard earned money. Why cant these immigrants do the same?

  6. We are living in Dangerous times when the Executive branch acts alone without informing Congress. Dicktator=trump

  7. “Let me do the leaking. I do it all the time. Putin wants to be kept in the loop with all our operations and he pays good money.”

  8. The deficient would have even notified ISIS themselves before notifying Congress
    He still thinks that he is above the law

  9. So crooked, he even feels it necessary to hide his decisions from Congress; all of whom are more respectable thn him
