National Security Advisor McMaster denied that ever happened....and he was in the room. So it does appear to be fake...lol.

Amazing these "bombshell" stories put out by the left wing media are always from anonymous sources. You think after having a carton of eggs on their face they'd quit...but it never fails.
Trump has admitted he shared the info. Says he has the right to do so.
He has the right to wear a clown suit to every Oval Office meeting and fling his own poo at a wall. Doesn't mean he should.
More importantly, it wasn't his Intel to share. This wasn't US-based info from our own networks. Absolutely foolish, irresponsible, and unpardonable that he did this. And why? To flirt with the Russians, his HS crushes.
Finally, it is primarily a myth of the anti-anti-Trump Conservative media and alt right that the media has constantly blown stories on Trump, and have used unreliable anonymous sources. Simply not true. The vast majority of stories have been proven to be almost exactly right just about every single time. However, because Trump constantly changes his mind and frequently asks his staff to lie, the Senior Advisors speaking to the media may not always know Trump's latest thoughts. Trump, himself, just explicitly admitted this on Twitter this past Friday.
The Trump admin has zero credibility. Twice now they've sent the VP directly to the media with verifiably false information to be used as a cover. Spicer, Huckabee, Conway, Bannon, etc have all individually been busted lying numerous times.
Trump is completely incompetent. The worst that everyone feared is absolutely coming to pass. The man has admitted he fired the FBI investigation to influence their investigation of his campaign. He has admitted that he shared some of the most sensitive Intel we've got about ISIS (beyond top-secret) with our mortal enemies, Russia. The country that ran a massive influence operation and disinformation campaign to influence and affect our elections. The country (Russia) that has completely contradictory goals to our own policy (and that of our allies) in Syria, and is propping up a war criminal.
I don't know that Trump is compromised by the Russians. I have a difficult time believing in conspiracy theories. But he sure is stupid. There is no doubt about that. Our President is completely incompetent and does moronic and self-defeating things almost daily.
Trump doesn't have a media problem or a staff problem. Trump is Trump's problem. He can't control his shameless need for attention and to be loved, his propensity for exaggeration and outright disdain for the truth, or even slightly hide his extreme narcissism and arrogance.
If he was actually competent or somewhat intelligent it might be possible to look past some of his flaws. But the past 7-8 days has shown he is absolutely not up for the job of POTUS, and the quicker he resigns or is impeached the better (I haven't even covered his lack of morals and ethics or corrupt behavior).
Believe Trump and this administration at your peril. In the past week the media is 7/7 on these stories. The fake news is coming from those lying and spinning for Trump.
