    Setting aside the obvious fact that Trump clearly has no idea of what classified information is, nor has any desire or ability to learn what it is, we also have to remember that Trump says whatever comes into his head at any given moment. If it contradicts something he said a day ago, or an hour ago, so what? His fans don’t care.

    Always remember, if a Democratic Presidential Candidate who has retroactively classified information on a server is “leaking information”. A Republican President who repeats highly classified information in a room where he invited a foreign power to bring recording equipment, is “sharing”.
