Scary: Trump aides 'fear' leaving him alone in meetings, he's too daft to understand intelligence [View all]

The more this White House leaks, the scarier it gets. The New York Times is now reporting some absolutely frightening tidbits from inside Trumpworld that should frighten all of us.

Trump's aides won’t leave him alone with foreign leaders because they’re afraid of what he might say or divulge.

There is a fear among some of Mr. Trump’s senior advisers about leaving him alone in meetings with foreign leaders out of concern he might speak out of turn. General McMaster, in particular, has tried to insert caveats or gentle corrections into conversations when he believes the president is straying off topic or onto boggy diplomatic ground.


Naturally, Trump doesn’t like being corrected or diverted (even if he’s about to cause an international incident) and has called McMaster “a pain.” Also, Trump isn't sophisticated enough to pick up "granular details" about intelligence.
