Thanks you finished my argument for me

It's also legal for Hillary Clinton to sell herself to Wall Street, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

I'm pretty sure the original story didn't even care about the classified information. Rather, people were concerned that he shared too much which would allow Russia to easily identify the sources and means used to discover the classified information that Trump shared with Russia. The problem with that (potentially) is that Russia could use those techniques/sources for their own advantage in Syria, and their goals don't meet ours in the Middle East. They want to prop up Assad; America doesn't.

I don't think we the public will ever know enough details to actually criticize or praise Trump for this classified information scenario. It's just argued based on the party of the person, as demonstrated in this thread.

just because Trump’s actions were legal

this is objective.

doesn’t necessarily mean they were wise.

this is subjective (with no reasons backing the argument).

No one is going to praise him. That is pretty much out of the question. Even though it is his legal right to do that with the information, if he had actually wanted to do it in a better manner he would've done it in secrecy, and would have gotten Israel's permission.

I personally think that him doing that is stupid. He knows well that his campaign is under investigation for colluding with the Russians... That should've been his first thought when seeing them. Sharing information like that makes you look buddy-buddy with Russia, which is not how you want to look when you're campaign is under investigation. It doesn't do anything to chill those fears, it just gives them more legitimacy.

It's a similar case with Trump and Comey. Was firing James Comey smart? Not in the manner that he did it in. While firing Comey is legally his right, it looks very suspicious given the circumstances. I'm curious as to what will come out of the investigation, given the massive implications of its findings. Threatening Comey with the tapes (if he ever has any) also was a bad move. It looks very similar to silencing a political opponent. I wonder if those tapes, if they exist, will be subpoenaed by Congress.

what a first 118 days of a presidency.

what's up with ya'll giving classified info to Russia?

Heaven forbid the president of a sovereign nation share intelligence about terrorism with another

What's up with the French president already being a globalist scumbag and threatening sanctions against smaller countries like Poland if they don't accept the migrants that your country claims are so beneficial and great? France should be taking them in, not bullying other countries into doing it

when someone makes a good post but you gotta spread first:an gry:

But yeah, I Poland is honestly doing itself a favor by not taking them in.

I did a little math.
Per Capita rape stats:

Japanese - 4%
Refugees - 7.4%

You're more likely to get raped in a group of a 100 refugees than in a group of a 100 Japanese.

It may not be legal if he was firing Comey to obstruct justice, which he has essentially publicly admitted to doing so. Honestly what pissed me off so goddamn much was how Trump fired Comey. The guy likes to pretend that he supports the police and the military, and then goes out of his way to try to publicly humiliate Comey, who everyone still respects inside the FBI, even if they questioned some political choices (which were forced upon him due to Lorretta Lynch's downright incompetence and corruption, making the perception that the Hillary Clinton investigation will never receive a fair outcome).

The firing of Comey and allegedly asking/pressuring Comey to drop the investigation into Flynn looks like the same corrupt **** that we saw with Hillary/Bill Clinton and the meeting with Lynch. Trump supporters can't even play the non-politician incompetent card on this one. It's just downright corrupt, and I suspect that as more evidence comes in and Comey and others testify before Congress, the corruption will only be further proven. I'm at the point where I hope Trump gets impeached in the future. He's proven to me that he is too incompetent to run the White House and I believe that evidence will come forward in the future to justify the start of the impeachment process.  

all trump supporters are a part of the problem and should be dealt with accordingly

Why that marxist hugbox was't closed years ago I don't know but hey at least that's a nice shoop.

For real tho that man is over 70 years old for him to lead a country let alone work at that age is incredible. Leave the man alone and let him drive a golfcart if he so desires. The real question is why the **** Trudeau was wearing faggy pink socks and fixing his hair like a 2009 Justin Bieber.

Wasn't everyone cheering him on though when he said Hillary doesn't even have the stamina to be president?? How can he say that, but doesn't even have the stamina to walk with the leaders who were probably up longer than he was? Not to mention Merkel is walking in heels, and shes just a few years younger than him! This is why the world sees us as an embarrassment right now because his supporters won't accept his faults.

Why is it always people like you falling over the most unimportant things he does. You don't care about the money he saved, you don't care about the jobs he brought back. You only care about what his favorite flavor of ice cream is.

Get real for once and stop acting like a little child, grow up.  

It's not about his age or physical stamina. It's about his lack of respect and understanding of the requirements of the office. He's the President. There's things he should do, even if he doesn't want to.

It was most likely because of his disagreements with the other G7 leaders, but the problem is that we are still allies with them and have respect for them. Even if he disagrees on issues, he should take part with them in their events, rather than riding in a golf cart.

Unless of course, it's really because of his age and exhaustion. But I agree that it's hard to use that as an excuse when he attacked Hillary Clinton so hard for it. It doesn't mean that it's hard for that to be the case, but it's just hard to believe that as an excuse now, especially after he has repeatedly broken the norm and disrespected world leaders before.
