I don't see how you can blame that one on Trump...
"I love Wikileaks"
- Donald Trump

But, Trump has definitely run a very loose ship.... His own security breaches don't set a very good example for others in the government, and he has been very foolish in 1) firing many in the government who didn't need to be fired, 2) leaving many positions vacant, or filling them with people who are not competent, and 3) insulting many in the law enforcement/intelligence community. When you do those sorts of things, the chance of problems like this happening probably increases.

OK, its possible that the leak had nothing to do with Trump. Its possible that it might have happened even if Hillary had become president. However, if that is true, I certainly have some feelings of schadenfreude (a german word meaning "pleasure in the misfortune of others"). After years of Trump, other republicans and their supporters pinning anything and everything on Obama or Hillary (regardless of how untrue the accusations were), seeing Trump get blamed for things that may not be his fault seems like rather fair turnabout.
