Growing Consensus Trump Acted Appropriately,
Leakers Broke Law

National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster on Tuesday reiterated that President Donald Trump did nothing wrong in sharing sensitive information about the Islamic State terrorist organization with a pair of Russian diplomats.
McMaster fielded questions from reporters for the first time since The Washington Post reported Monday that Trump shared classified information in a White House meeting with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
“What I’m saying is, really the premise of that story was false, that any way the president had a conversation that was inappropriate or that resulted in any kind of lapse in national security.”
“I stand by my statement that I made yesterday,” he said at the White House press briefing. “What I’m saying is, really the premise of that story was false, that any way the president had a conversation that was inappropriate or that resulted in any kind of lapse in national security.”
McMaster said what has endangered national security is leaks of classified information to the news media.

The Whole POINT in the classified information for the PRESIDENT to use as he sees fit.
As I understand it, the Presidents job is to act in the best interests of the nation, not to do 'as he sees fit'. Doing as he sees fit seems to say he has ultimate authority.
Its also very awkward for the President that officials in his administration, are being accused by him and others from his own administration of leaking sensitive information; as the leader, is he not ultimately responsible for that? Mr Trump seems to be leading a cult of personality, where he is creating an image of himself as an individual who can do no wrong, like a monarch.
we elect him to act in the best interests of the nation
BY
doing as he sees fit.
it's not just a good idea
