Deserves its own thread. Trump allegedly discussed US nuclear subs with foreign national after leaving White House: SourcesTrump allegedly discussed the information with an Australian billionaire. Months after leaving the White House, former President Donald Trump allegedly discussed potentially sensitive information about U.S. nuclear submarines with a member of his Mar-a-Lago Club -- an Australian billionaire who then allegedly shared the information with scores of others, including more than a dozen foreign officials, several of his own employees, and a handful of journalists, according to sources familiar with the matter. The potential disclosure was reported to special counsel Jack Smith's team as they investigated Trump's alleged hoarding of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, the sources told ABC News. The information could shed further light on Trump's handling of sensitive government secrets. Prosecutors and FBI agents have at least twice this year interviewed the Mar-a-Lago member, Anthony Pratt, who runs U.S.-based Pratt Industries, one of the world's largest packaging companies. In those interviews, Pratt described how -- looking to make conversation with Trump during a meeting at Mar-a-Lago in April 2021 -- he brought up the American submarine fleet, which the two had discussed before, the sources told ABC News. According to Pratt's account, as described by the sources, Pratt told Trump he believed Australia should start buying its submarines from the United States, to which an excited Trump -- "leaning" toward Pratt as if to be discreet -- then told Pratt two pieces of information about U.S. submarines: the supposed exact number of nuclear warheads they routinely carry, and exactly how close they supposedly can get to a Russian submarine without being detected.

Well, the guy belonged to the MAL club, so clearly, Trump could trust him to be completely upstanding and patriotic. Even though he was Australian.  |

Dear Lord! Every time I ask myself how stupid can this guy be, he keeps doing dumber & more dangerous things. How many dead service members will it take for his MAGA supporters to realize what a liability he really is to our country?  I'm sure some of this information has already gone to some of our enemy countries. Way to tip off China...  |

Time to lock trump up until after all his criminal trials are over. |

I don’t wish death on many people - but the country won’t start healing until he is no longer breathing.

I thought we all knew he did it, just waiting for someone to admit it. |

How is this guy still walking free or able to walk by tall windows? He would not be in some other country.

The far right and fox news will never hear this stuff. So their listeners think this treasonous piece of (&(*^$@@## crap is their god.
However, I think he has fallen a bit since he didn't pay for attorneys or bail to get the Jan 6 bunches out of jail. Remember when he told his violent supporters beat them up I will pay for your fines. Yeah baby, that worked well.
Hubs said he is telling people they are building a trump wing to the federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind. It has some very bad people in it, like some of the middle eastern guys. I have never heard of anyone escaping from it. Not a place you want to be. We have lost a lot of friends over that piece of trash and the people here that support him. I sure hope we end up moving out of this red state, we do not fit here nor do other dems.
I don't hate very many people, but I do make an exception for the antichrist and we know who that is.

I agree that the RW media are complicit in covering up anything bad Trump does. From gaffes etc. he has done that they roast Biden for to stuff like this that is conduct unbecoming of a US President, they refuse to report it. Many of them have no clue as to who he really is and a big reason that remains true is Fox and others refuse to report on much of what he does. |

Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby. The mistake that is made always runs the other way. Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly.” - H.L. Mencken |
