On Tuesday President Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser H. R. McMaster fielded a number of questions from reporters about a Washington Post report on how Trump gave away classified intelligence last week to Russian officials during an Oval Office meeting.

“In the context of that discussion, what the president discussed with the foreign minister was wholly appropriate to that conversation and is consistent with the routine sharing of information between the president and any leaders with whom he is engaged,” McMaster said.

It was a phrase he repeated often. McMaster said “wholly appropriate” seven times in the 15-minute briefing.

People noticed, and #WhollyAppropriate was born on Twitter as users share what else they find to be “wholly appropriate.”

Here are 15 other things that are wholly appropriate:
