Trump said what?!?

If only it were a “Saturday Night Live” sketch. The Associated Press reports: President Donald Trump says he never “mentioned the word or the name Israel” during a recent conversation with top Russian diplomats.

"Speaking alongside Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump was referencing revelations that he divulged classified information about an Islamic State threat in a recent meeting with Russia’s foreign minister and ambassador.

U.S. officials said the information originated from Israel.

Trump says, “I never mentioned the word or the name Israel in that conversation.” But it was never alleged that Trump told the Russians that Israel was the source of the intelligence, just that he shared the information with the Russians."

Moreover, by conveying his message in Israel, he obviously confirmed that the information came from Israel.

Former CIA director Michael Hayden reacted to this forehead-slapping blunder via email:

"Choice one. Say nothing.

Choice two. If FORCED to comment, say no specific sources were mentioned.

Choice three. Don’t use choice two standing next to the Israeli prime minister."

1. He took choice 4, say something so stupid you incriminate yourself AND

give CERTAINTY to the enemy what the intel is.

2. He's dumb.

That's it. Along with being a sociopath, he is too dumb to be president.

After the "Melania hand swat" and this stupidity, I may have to set my alarm tomorrow to watch Joe and Mika.
