Raising alarm for who? His voters weren't alarmed when he was just shoving classified documents in random bathrooms and closets in completely insecure areas of his golf courses. They are unlikely to be alarmed by this either.

He’s shown exactly who he is and you’ve made the bed for all of us. All you who even so much as approve of Trump, let alone the traitorous Republican Party.

Too little too late. This is old news, not fake news. You chose to ignore it.

Thanks to Treason Trump's New World Disorder every country in the world is going to want to have their own nuclear weapons now

Can't be too concerned if they are still actively working to help him get elected.

"It's okay, we can definitely keep him in check this time. I mean, it's not like we did last time, and he's even more unhinged now, but we can totally get him to align with us on complex and contentious issues." They said as their faces were eaten by leopards.

Oh, weird that this is the issue that divides them: national security. I wonder why.

I can see the diamond in the flow chart now: “Are you paid by Putin?” with “Yes” leading to “Ignore national security concerns “.
