Trump Says Hes A Smart Guy, So He Doesnt Need Intelligence Briefings

Donald Trump says that the reason he’s missing his intelligence briefings is because he’s a “really smart guy,” and he doesn’t have be told the same thing day after day. Perhaps if he attended one of these meetings, he’d understand that intelligence changes on a constant basis. The Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

He doesn't get that the details change every day. So it lacks novel concepts which dyslexics need to thrive. They are going to have to produce films instead of briefing books or briefings like that did for Ronald Reagan.

he will never listen to someone telling him things he should know. Narcissistic persons despise factual information coming from a person outside his comfort zone.

I just hope in the Presidential WEEKLY Briefing, our guys aren't telling Agent Orange anything they wouldn't want Putin to hear.
