I'm conflicted on this. He shared information with the Russians about something to do with ISIS right? ISIS is a common enemy, so that seems logical, doesn't it? The only weird part is that we didn't share it with our allies first.

But one of the reasons Trump was elected was so we could have a less hostile relationship with the Russians, as no one in America (and I'm sure Russia), and certainly not the rest of the world wants the two of us to go at it again, and despite his crazy actions, Trump seems to be the best bet at getting along with the Russians more.

The president does has the right to share any and all information he is privy to because of his position.  The question is that the people who gave the US the intel would like to know who that intel is shared with in case it becomes a conflict of interest.  The fact that certain intel could put agents at risk or certain surveillance is the key issue.  Basically it comes down to ignorance.  The current administration never seek understanding before it does anything and we have seen that Trump is the king when it comes to just doing without thought or understanding.

On your second paragraph, where the heck did you get that opinion.  I do not remember any conservative American choosing Trump so that the US can have a less hostile relationship with Russia.
