In fact, President Trump built a clear track record of recklessly revealing classified information. Most famously, he revealed secrets to members of the Russian government during an Oval Office visit in 2017. The information that was shared reportedly came from a close ally in the Middle East who had “access to the inner workings of the Islamic State,” according to the Washington Post.

Later that same year Trump told Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte the positions of two nuclear submarines off the coast of North Korea: a huge secret that Duterte had no “need to know.”

And again in 2017, Trump told Xi Jinping about a U.S. missile strike in Syria over a “beautiful piece of chocolate cake” at Mar-a-Lago.

In 2018, Trump posted video on Twitter of several U.S. Navy SEALS while on a trip to Al Asad Airbase in Iraq, revealing the commandos’ unblurred faces and location.

Then, in 2019, he tweeted a classified image of an Iranian missile launch site that amateur satellite trackers quickly determined came from a USA-224 spy satellite.
