Prepare to be shocked: The internet is using Donald Trump's own words against him after he did something he has criticized others for doing.

According to a blockbuster Washington Postscoop, Trump revealed some classified information he was not cleared to share with a pair of Russian diplomats who visited the White House last week.

The quotes from the story are stunning:

  • "Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State."

  • "Trump 'revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.'”

  • "Trump seemed to be boasting about his inside knowledge of the looming threat. 'I get great intel. I have people brief me on great intel every day,' Trump said, according to an official with knowledge of the exchange."

But what really has the internet going is Trump's own words on mishandling classified information, an attack he (and many other Republicans) levied against his 2016 opponent Hillary Clinton.

Now that it appears Trump has gone and told the Russians he shouldn't have, it's all anyone can share.

Nope, not fit at all.

That is, as you may have guessed, not the only time Trump has railed about how to handle classified information. Those tweets that are all aging just as well:

Not that Trump was the only Republican who hammered Clinton on the same topic.

Just another day proving the Trump administration is just like every other horror film you've ever seen: The call is always coming from inside the house.
