1. She sounded quite rational, surprisingly so.

She seems to have emerged unscathed from her encounters with him.

8. I would say that will change once Trump sees the video

but I am sure he won't understand a single thing she said. If his aides tell him its bad, he will go on a twitter rant for hours.

2. Great post. Thanks, Yui. (N/T)

4. I bet she would get more inteligent

Questions and Answers from a Turnip than out of Trump.

5. LOL! Yes, I suspect so.

It reminds me of a remark I've heard before: It's a lot easier to teach someone who knows he doesn't know anything than to try to teach someone who knows a lot of misinformation. I can't imagine how disturbing it must be to brief a president who is both ignorant and arrogant.

7. "and arrogant"

私は傲慢が嫌いです。I hate arrogance.

3. So many good quotes in her talk. "The first president to have 'no framework.'"

Intelligence limits the president's ability to pivot - presents facts that might be limiting...

Presidents want intelligence to be able to make statements that they can't make...

Anybody have a link to more information on this presenter?

6. "Trump", and "intelligence".

Two words that negate each other in a sentence.
