Trump discussing sensitive material at Mar-A-Lago?
I'm not posting any links yet, because I haven't confirmed if what Trump and Japan's Prime Minister were talking about was actually classified, or if they were discussing public knowledge, but it sounds like any guest at the resort had access to information that they shouldn't have had...
Of course, the WH claims nothing wrong happened, and the anti-trump crowd is claiming it was top-secret plans for what Japan and the US are planning to do. I'm assuming it's somewhere in the middle, which is still concerning, IMO.

He acts like he is discussing mergers in the boardroom as opposed to classified national security. This is so unethical and dangerous.

Can you imagine if Obama had ever done anything even close to this? Heads would have exploded. Instead we get, aw, nothing to see here.

Sounds like a he said/she said situation. Why bother putting this up if you don't have links you want to share and have proof?

Don't roll your eyes. Not a "he said she said" situation.
It's unclear if the material discussed was classified. This should be investigated.
It certainly was sensitive. It certainly was in poor judgement. It certainly breaks from protocol.

Other members of the club know that "Rick" was the one carrying the nuclear codes!!! That is beyond inappropriate. Once the news came in they should've excused themselves to a private setting. They were discussing national security matters while waiters, without any security clearance, were clearing off plates!!! This is absolutely a breach of security protocol.

I was just going to post this. Until the last campaign I didn't really know the protocol around the nuclear codes. It's very concerning to me that we now know what the person looks like. I imagine it's something that rotates but IMO it jeopardizes his safety. And beofre someone calls me nuts, there's a Russian spy ship patrolling the East Coast right now. It's not the first time but you have to wonder about the timing.
Story
Also, even if material was not explicitly classified, was it really wise to site in a dining room with so many people milling around? If North Korea is involved, it's not something to be taken lightly. This is another example of Trump being way out of his depth.
