I am not making this up. The Washington Post is reporting that President Trump blew an intelligence source. Here is the lede:

The president’s disclosures to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State — an information-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government, current and former U.S. officials said. President Trump appeared to be boasting of the “great intel” he receives when he described a looming terror threat, according to an official with knowledge of the exchange.

If true this confirms every possible fear we have about his suitability to be President.
