Pratt Industries makes packaging. It’s not even a defense contractor as one might imagine “During his talk with Mr. Pratt, Mr. Trump revealed at least two pieces of critical information about the U.S. submarines’ tactical capacities, according to the people familiar with the matter. Those included how many nuclear warheads the vessels carried and how close they could get to their Russian counterparts without being detected.” https://web.archive.org/web/20231006000625/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/05/us/politics/trump-nuclear-submarine-classified-documents.html “Fourteen Ohio-class SSBNs make up the most survivable leg of the nuclear triad. Their stealth design makes finding an SSBN an almost impossible task, giving pause to potential adversaries…. The Navy’s ballistic missile submarines, often referred to as “boomers,” serve as an undetectable launch platform for missiles. They are designed specifically for stealth and the precise delivery of nuclear warheads.” https://www.defense.gov/Multimedia/Experience/Americas-Nuclear-Triad/

Since the Australia is a US ally dependent upon the US nuclear umbrella, Pratt seems to be as idiotic as he looks, and Trump is more idiotic than he looks. Either they are hopelessly stupid, or they are enemy agents, assuming the story is true.

“When Donald Trump became US president in 2017, Pratt became a paying member of Mar-a-Lago and pledged to invest another $2 billion in American manufacturing jobs. Over the next few years, he visited Mar-a-Lago about ten times, and got to know Trump. In 2018, he visited the White House when Australia’s prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, was present. In 2019, Trump publically called Pratt a friend and praised him for funding a Pratt Industries plant in Wapakoneta, Ohio” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Pratt_(businessman)

Nuclear submarine secrets
In October 2023, it was alleged that Trump had discussed classified technical aspects of U.S. nuclear submarines with Pratt, and that Pratt then shared the information with up to 45 other people “including six journalists, 11 of his company’s employees, 10 Australian officials, and three former Australian prime ministers”.[93][94]”

Clapper’s careful to add, if it’s true. Trump denies the story.
