Trump is trying to be transparent and provide us with the sort of information that we need to know but our government usually hides from us. If anyone else did this you'd call them brave or even a hero, but becasue it's Trump you turn it into a bad thing.

Umm, isn't what he actually said the bigger issue?

"The United States of America was not involved in the catastrophic accident during final launch preparations for the Safir SLV Launch at Semnan Launch Site One in Iran. I wish Iran best wishes and good luck in determining what happened at Site One."

It seems odd, all things considered.

Like a month ago he was flirting with the idea of starting some shit with them.
Just odd, overall. But what the hell else is new?!

Asked if the image of the accident at the Iranian space facility was classified, Trump only says, I just wish Iran well. They had a big problem & we had a photo and I released it, which I have the absolute right to do." From where? "Youll have to figure that one out yourself.

Hanham also says that the European company Airbus has been experimenting with drones that fly so high, they are technically outside the atmosphere and thus operating outside national boundaries.

Either way, Panda notes that a small redaction in the upper left-hand corner suggests the intelligence community had cleared the image for release by the president.

Remember when Hillary's emails were the biggest concern we had about a well-known politician potentially mishandling classified information?

We seem to be ignoring this. Plus the president has the authority to declassify anything he wants anyway. (Whether or not it's a good idea is certainly up for debate though.)

It has been revealed that America's intelligence agencies are doing everything they can to stop Trump getting his hands on classified intel.

Being scolded by failed former Intelligence officials, like James Clapper, on my condolences to Iran on their failed Rocket launch. Sadly for the United States, guys like him, Comey, and the even dumber John Brennan, dont have a clue. They really set our Country back,........but now we are moving forward like never before. We are winning again, and we are respected again!

Update: Thanks to Trumps tweet people have been able to identify the exact Spy Satellite used to take the picture. USA 224 a KH-11 reconnaissance satellite launched 2011.

So basically Trump's careless tweets have put national security assets at risk now.

Best part is that if you look at the imagine it looks like Trump took the picture with his cell phone
