I understand this fully. However, the President - any President - shouldn't be randomly handing over classified information to our adversaries without any thought or discussion.
The proper way to do this is before a meeting to sit down with his staff, including the intelligence agencies, to discuss what they plan on saying, what they plan on offering, and what NOT to say. This is exactly why it has become an issue - There was no planning, no discussion, no meeting, zero preparation, and Trump just tossed this out there without any comprehension of the repercussions.
The repercussions here are so serious that Trump's staff passed this back down to the intelligence community.
This is EXACTLY the problem with Trump. He has zero experience in these matters, doesn't begin to understand how these things work, does zero preparation, and doesn't trust the people who work for him. He has no understand of how much damage a single statement, action, or phone call can do.
One of the complaints most Presidents have about being President is the amount of reading material they have to study. They work a ten hour day, and then have hours of reading to prepare them for the next day. Trump isn't doing this. He doesn't like to read, and doesn't prepare.
There is no planning on anything, and no thought to the consequences. He fired the FBI director with zero thought to the fall out. He didn't even properly prepare his own staff on how to handle questions.
Trump is clearly unqualified to President.
Nothing is being accomplished, and the White House is going from one disaster to another.
What little he is doing is only bad for us. For example, Trump killed the TPP agreement and just handed it all to China. Check out what China did this weekend:

This could not be any worse.
