Trump's incredible arrogance: "I don't need to hear the same intelligence reports!" If Hillary

did this the outcry from republicans would have been absolutely deafening. Can you imagine if Hillary as Pres-elect had said "I don't need to hear intelligence reports every day -- just call me if anything changes...in the meantime my v.p. will hear them and decide if anything is important"

This man is (gag) in charge of the well-being of approx 350 million Americans (or will be in January), and yet he acts with a level of dismissiveness and arrogance about the intelligence reports that is astonishing. To be honest Trump's disinterest in the threat of terrorism is just fucking astonishing (and yet he was SOOOOOOO concerned about "radical Islamic terror" during the campaign!). This dismissiveness combined with his incredibly friendly relationship with Putin and Russia and co. is seriously disturbing.

Seeing his orange face yapping, in an arrogant and defensive manner, about how he doesn't need to waste his time with the CIA (according to Trump they don't know anything anyway) and the inconvenience of daily intelligence reports just made me feel sick. This idiot is dangerous (much more dangerous than I think I really ever realized), and those ties to Russia...scary. Every day the prospect of the real effects of a Trump presidency just gets more and more vomit-inducing.

I don't know how she gets through it all, frankly. I admire her more than I can put into words.
