[font size="3"]While Donald Trump tries to frighten Americans into supporting his policies with the specter of real and imagined terrorism, the ostensible Commander-in-Chief has now gone a full week without scheduling a daily intelligence briefing.[/font]

It has now been a full week since Trump received an intelligence briefing

From the “Bowling Green Massacre” to “Atlanta” to the “Sweden Incident,” no terrorist attack is too fictional for Donald Trump and his administration to use in order to frighten Americans into supporting their the Muslim ban or “Deportation Force.”

When it comes to actually doing the job of keeping Americans safe, though, Trump is very publicly leaving the country vulnerable.

Last week, we reported that Trump had not received an intelligence briefing since the resignation and/or firing of disgraced National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. A review of Trump’s daily schedules shows that there were no intelligence briefings scheduled for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday, either.

As we have also previously reported, the value of Trump’s re-branded intel briefings was already suspect, but now it has been a full week since Trump has received even that meager offering. Since Trump’s schedules are public, this also means that our enemies may be aware that Trump is not being briefed.

1. We're all just waiting for him to do something so colossally stupid

that even his base will realize the man needs to be removed, even if they still support his bluster against all the people they've been told to hate. I just hope we all live through whatever it is.

Whether he ignores them or doesn't get them at all, those briefings will fall on deaf ears. The only voice he ever hears is his own.

The less intelligence given to Putin's Boy Toy, the better.
