WWDD? (What Would Donald Do?)

There was a lot of hoopla over a recent, and obvious, breach of national security, when a journalist was invited to a chat group of high-level government officials discussing a bombing raid. By hoopla, I mean some were saying the discussion was classified and being made in a chat group, others were saying that the chat itself had no classified information, and others that the journalist was a conspiracy nut who is working for a publication that is doing so bad it should be out of business.

I had a security clearance in the Navy. Part of being a Radioman. And from what I've read of that chat, it was clearly a security violation by individuals who were proving that the "meritocracy" hiring model that our President says he adheres to was obviously being ignored. Right to the Vice President putting emojis in the chat like he was on Facebook.

First off, I want to know WHY this chat was taking place? Somebody want to contact the other President (the one who bought his position and is clearly pulling the strings) and ask him why these particular government officials are not IN THE OFFICE where they can have this discussion in a secured location? I thought all government employees need to be in the office. Therefore,  there is NO REASON they should be in a chat. Maybe he needs to send them an email asking them for five things they did today to justify their jobs.

And second, I like to look at anything that takes place in the Trump administration and think about what Donald Trump would say if the same thing took place under Joe Biden's watch. For instance:

"Sleepy-Joe is proving once again that he is incapable of running the country and keeping Americans safe. There is no way under my administration - an administration that would be the best administration ever, and I've been told this by many very intelligent people who know - that this type of security violation would ever take place. Every person in that chat would be FIRED. That's right: FIRED. Because Sleepy-Joe won't admit that he is unable to do his job, these people will continue to put the American people at risk."

Of course, as of this writing, nobody has been fired.

So, whenever you see something questionable under this administration, just ask, "What Would Donald Do?"
