From what I have heard / read the last 18 or so hours, it is impossible for a President to leak classified intel because as soon as he shares it, he has de-classified it. He has that authority/ power as POTUS.

If this is true, and im not sure it is but several sources have said so, then it is also true that Trump did not share classified info. Anyone can say this and not be lying. The question should be, then, did he share information that was classified before he spoke it?

And as for anonymous sources, you really can't blame them. I recall reading during the campaign that Trump's life motto for success in business is something like, if someone messes you over, you do it 10 times back. His vengeance would extend far beyond the WH and the immediate future to ruin you and yours for life. He really is a nasty little man.
