When he served as president, trump was privy to all of the national secrets.

If nothing else sends civilian trump to prison, leaking national secrets will.
 
^ Terrified Trump will release political cover-ups revealing the truth, are you?

He will be a watched man. You can count on that.
 
You need more categories. Trump has no integrity, but he also has the attention span of a 4 year old. I doubt he knows many of our secrets.
 
No, he won't keep our national secrets. He hasn't so far. Trump is always one mind fart away from blurting out classified information. Ask our (now reluctant) allies.
 
I hope those who control that information didn't give trump any more than absolutely necessary. I doubt if he really showed much interest unless it was dirt on his rivals or his buddies the Russians.

It's against the law to leak classified information. You can go to prison for it.

Strange because a couple years ago you "independents" were assuring us that the intelligence community wasn't telling Trump anything for fear he would spill the beans.

Anyway, as long as he tells us who shot kennedy and where the little green men in Area 51 came from, we're cool.
 
I did hear that we have new nukes like the world has never seen.
 
Sure, unless somebody offers him a Big-Mac or $10.00 Trump cares only about Donald Trump. I wish people would understand that. If the populace decided that burning kittens was the path to winning elections, he'd be onboard before this sentence ended...
 
It's certainly possible he'll sell our national secrets. More likely he'll just share them with autocrats to brag that he knew national secrets.

The US has Communications Management Units (CMUs) - prisons where prisoners cannot communicate freely with anyone including their own lawyers. It would be ironic if Mr. Trump ended up in a CMU in the same US prison as Julian Assange for spilling US state secrets.

If all this seems unseemly, well Donald Trump is an old man with a very unhealthy lifestyle. He could die at any point from a stroke or a heart attack and few would be surprised. You do the math.

Cheers and be well.

I don't doubt it. Obama/Biden were pawns of the Complex.

The real question is can Dementia Joe keep his blabbering senile mouth shut when he should!!!
 
It is a worry, for sure. Perhaps he'll be able to keep his secrets, but with all the IOUs he has, he may sell some to Putin.

And the Complex kept our secrets, this one Trump just blurted out, errr, it might have been in a tweet.
 
How do you think he's going to pay of the nearly half a billion dollars he owes to 'undisclosed' entities?

Not sure it is that big a secret to countries that matter. We are always coming up with new toys even if they never make it into production.
 
Not if we hide them under the vegetables.
 
If the country turns against him and votes him out of office, I'm pretty sure he'll view that as an act of personal betrayal and take it out on all of us.

I'm pretty sure he moves to Russia to avoid prosecution... and after that, it'll take the better part of a generation for US Intelligence to get back it's footing.
 
If Biden wins, he won't keep national security secrets. He'll give them to the #1 spy Adam Schiff who will publicize any and all national security secrets to the entire world primarily thru the NYT, ABC, CNN and MSNBC.

Actually our most guarded national security secrets are not being shared with Trump. He is far too much of a security risk.

U.S. intelligence officials have withheld sensitive intelligence from President Donald Trump because they are concerned it could be leaked or compromised, according to current and former officials familiar with the matter.

Even if Trump did reveal national secrets, who would be fool enough to believe him?
