When Trump spilled sensitive nuclear secrets to foreign billionaire Mar-a-lago member

I resurfaced this in the context of another thread about Keith Urban performing at a party this guy just threw at Maralago, but I thought it deserved its own thread. How could something this damning not have had severe consequences? And if this random, exceedingly indiscreet guy was so casually handed critical information, what else was compromised? I assume damn near everything.

"Months after leaving the White House, former President Donald Trump allegedly discussed potentially sensitive information about U.S. nuclear submarines with a member of his Mar-a-Lago Club -- an Australian billionaire who then allegedly shared the information with scores of others, including more than a dozen foreign officials, several of his own employees, and a handful of journalists, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The potential disclosure was reported to special counsel Jack Smith's team as they investigated Trump's alleged hoarding of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, the sources told ABC News. The information could shed further light on Trump's handling of sensitive government secrets.

Prosecutors and FBI agents have at least twice this year interviewed the Mar-a-Lago member, Anthony Pratt, who runs U.S.-based Pratt Industries, one of the world's largest packaging companies.
....
According to Pratt's account, as described by the sources, Pratt told Trump he believed Australia should start buying its submarines from the United States, to which an excited Trump -- "leaning" toward Pratt as if to be discreet -- then told Pratt two pieces of information about U.S. submarines: the supposed exact number of nuclear warheads they routinely carry, and exactly how close they supposedly can get to a Russian submarine without being detected."....

But who needs bugs when every member of this administration barfs every minute mind vomit of a thought on Fox News every single minute of the day? They don't need intel, they just need to watch Fox.
