Trump Has Skipped All but 12 of His Daily Intelligence Briefings

[mudwhistle]

Trump has too short an attention span to get anything out of an intelligence brief
He also thinks he is smarter than anyone in the room

Yeah....he's just like Biden.....who thinks his presiduncy was too successful....so they had to replace him.

 

[rightwinger]

This is all true. Glad you are realizing he’s the smartest guy in the room

He is real smart
He has a big brain
He went to Wharton you know. Only smart people go to Wharton.

Meanwhile, he hasn’t read a book in over 40 years

OP link not sourced. The Daily Beast is hardly well informed. One source is a "former CIA employee". Total bullshit.

Who’s got time to sit around and read novels? I guess xiden did when he was president

Trumps busy cleaning up the mess xiden left

There are many more books than novels.

History, science, medicine, foreign affairs.
Small of which Trump has proven himself to be woefully ignorant

He’s getting historic trade deals, seems to know a bit about foreign affairs. And no he’s not a doctor and not planing on being one so why would he read about medicine? What a weird thing to suggest a 75 year old President to do

Maybe you missed it but when xiden was reading his novels on the beach the past four years he left the world and country in chaos…trumps not got time to study medicine, he’s saving the country

His “deals” have been anything but historic

Trumps knowledge about history, science, foreign countries, medicine is at a grade school level.

The PM of the UK said it was historic

You think you know more the Prime Minster? I mean that’s a radical change from our last president that instead was held in contempt of the UK…that was historic too

‘Trump has been president (for the second time) for more than 100 days. In that time, he has reportedly shown a troubling lack of regard for his daily intelligence briefings. Trump has reportedly sat for just 12 “daily” briefings since his second term began in January—an eyebrow-raising drop from the already infrequent schedule of his first time in office, POLITICO reports.
[…]
“It’s sadly clear that President Trump doesn’t value the expertise of and dangerous work performed by our intelligence professionals each and every day, and unfortunately, it leaves the American people increasingly vulnerable to threats we ought to see coming,” said Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.’

Trump Has Skipped Almost All of His Intelligence Briefings

The president’s lax approach to national security has some intelligence officials alarmed.

Reality conflicts with Trump’s world view and his desires, therefore reality and facts get eliminated.

Trump values Putin's opinion more than our own intelligence community; he won't listen to anything that's contradicts his preconceived opinions.

It's silly to think Trump has to sit at meetings and write down notes every day with a pen and pad. He's way too busy for that, and has people who tell him what he needs to know while he's going here and there. Do you guys not know how anything works? It's as silly as saying "Oh, Trump spends time on the golf course instead of working at his office". Anybody who has ever been in a corporate setting understands way more gets accomplished on a golf course than meets the eye.

Other countries are wise to dealing with Trump

Throw praise at him
Comment how much better he is than Obama and Biden
Let him ramble on while you smile meekly

[Mr Natural]

All you've done is replaced Biden's actions while president and inserted Trump's name.

Biden rarely had anything to do with the day to day operations in the White House.

So of course you folks want to blame Trump for the same thing.

But Biden was a vegetable whereas Trump is as sharp as a tack and doesn’t need no stinking intelligence briefings.

After their incompetence made us defenseless against 9/11 happening, and their many chronic failures before that, why do you have any respect whatsoever for these ignorant acadummies and loose-cannon fratboys?

An Expert Is a Liar for Hire

As early as grade school, Trump found out that the self-appointed ruling class's non-fiction pushes false conclusion about facts through its slick and smug manipulation of ideas.

In alliterative Latin: Imprimatur Ut Imperemus "Let it be published so we can rule (the commoners' minds)."

Troubling lack of regard...

This solid thread has no agenda.like bait fishing
Also
It makes zero ad hominem sense.
Which is fine because we live in America .

Trump has very few briefings. During the campaign he has none. He has plenty of people to tell him what's going on with the added benefit that no one knows what he's been told.

The reason for skipping briefings is simple. He learned first time around. As soon as he gets the briefing, details are leaked and he's blamed for the leak. Better to keep the deranged democrats guessing and details out of the press.
