We created a national security nightmare the day we made this guy President.
What’s a bigger national security nightmare, giving away a bunch of secrets with a finite shelf life, or making the domestic politics violently adversarial for the foreseeable future, and international order divided into overtly hostile camps unable to attempt deal with ever rising problems that will afflict us for centuries?
Many - perhaps most - national security secrets have a short shelf life. If Trump is going to be a classified information dealer, he's obviously going to focus on those secrets with a long shelf life because those will bring the highest return.
None of us outside of government knows what he has. We just know that he has demonstrated a complete lack of loyalty to the United States regarding classified information. This is likely a dangerous situation.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
