We share intel back and forth with our allies.

Trump did not just compromise the US, he compromised our allies as well.

They should be mad as hell and be careful what the share from now on.

It also compounds our danger, since we don't know if our allies will share much needed info with us from now on.

The last sentence in your post is the most damning and frightening. tfg has clearly harmed national security, not just for the present, but for an unknown time to come. It's mind-blowing.

And who could blame our allies for being alarmed and cautious after what he has done?

To rebuild international trust and to rebuild our intelligence networks.

And some of it is psychological, no one will know the true extent of the damage and therefore assume the worst.
