Yes, it was perfectly legal for Trump to disclose this photo, but was it wise? Tracking satellites is a hobby even among dilettantes, and now our adversaries can determine where this particular satellite is and when it might be coming over their concerned area. There are other characteristics of this photo that can be used to limit the effectiveness of these recon systems. Many billions USD are spent to provide this capability, and each of these four satellites can stay in orbit only 5 - 8 years limited by the stowed fuel tonnage it uses to prevent reentry.
