48. When he was president, Trump ignored his intelligence briefings

Mon Feb 1, 2021, 04:12 PM

Feb 2021

Early in his single term (I love writing that!), Trump stopped his Daily Presidential Brief. He famously said he knows more about everything than anyone so he didn't need briefings.

Kindly explain why he should receive them now.

Thanks, in advance.
