(3,651 posts)Trump isn't smart enough to know about Iron Dome or other aspects of Israel's defense in enough detail to leak it to the Russians in support of some Trumpist agenda.
Also, Trump wouldn't know the value of such information to the Russians. Would he be able to calculate, in advance, that the Russians would leak to Iran who would then leak to Hamas? I don't think the Orange Asshole ® has that much foresight.
Also, his Jesus-for-Jews right wing advisers would be sure that Trump wouldn't do anything that would bring harm to Israel. Heck, they made him move the US embassy to Jerusalem.
I suppose it's possible that Orange Asshole ® could have just had loose lips. But this connection of Trump to Russians to Iran, then on to Hamas seems like too many steps to be plausible. If Hamas knew anything about Israel's defenses, I'd be more inclined to believe they got it the old fashioned way - by buying it off of some lower level, young disgruntled Israeli or American military officer.
