Trump was irresponsible with government secrets while he was in office. He was irresponsible with government secrets after he left office. And Trump is now under immense financial pressure to sell information that he possesses in order to cover his debts.
When Trump becomes the Republican nominee for president, hell be entitled once again to receive national security briefings.
In a normal world, this wouldnt happen. No responsible party would nominate for president a person who had disclosed classified information in the past, is under credible suspicion of having stolen and concealed classified information in the present, and who is under immense pressure to sell classified information in the future.
But here we are. Isnt anyone else nervous about this?
