It hasn't even been a full week since the news broke that Donald Trump casually and inexplicably revealed highly classified information to Russian intelligence officials—men that he had invited into the Oval Office, for reasons known only to him, his God, and maybe Michael Flynn. Trump's disclosure came as an embarrassing misstep for an administration trying desperately to establish that it has even the foggiest goddamn idea of what it's doing, and unfortunately for the bleary-eyed West Wingers charged with putting out the President's myriad forest fires, Trump opened his big mouth in Israel today and promptly demonstrated that he learned exactly nothing from the experience.

The most galling part of last week's story—it's admittedly tough to settle on just one, but still—is that Trump's actions reportedly endangered the life of an Israeli spy embedded in ISIS. Although no accounts of the Oval Office meeting asserted that Trump had actually named the source to the Russians, the damage was nonetheless done because he had reportedly shared enough information about the source to make that person's identity fairly easy to figure out. If he were smart, Trump would downplay the incident, quietly apologize to an understandably-irate Israel, and hope that his carelessness doesn't get someone killed. Because Donald Trump is not particularly smart, this happened instead:

The transcript:

Just so you understand, I never mentioned the word or the name “Israel”—I never mentioned it during that conversation. They were all saying I did, so you have another story wrong. Never mentioned the word “Israel.”

Do you see the problem? Do you? Donald Trump stood up next to Israel's prime minister and proudly reassured the world that he didn't do something that no one said he did—essentially eliminating any possible ambiguity about the facts, and confirming to all ISIS members with a broadband connection that yes, the source of the intelligence was Israel, thank you for asking. Calling this "amateurish" would be an insult to all the hardworking amateurs out there who, despite their status as such, have nonetheless managed to conduct themselves in ways that don't directly undermine their own credibility on a near-daily basis.

At this rate, the only entities who are going to have any interest in sharing information with a country helmed by Donald Trump are going to be the Pizzagate idiots, and even then, they'll probably take steps to mask the identity of their more prolific generators of nonsensical poorly-Photoshopped memes, just to be safe.
