6. He refuses to be briefed because that would be too much like 'work.'

I feel sorry for them. The State Department has all these protocol specialists, whose only job is to brief the President and others on the background information to the people he's meeting, and protocols on how to treat them.

But this lout refuses to be briefed, figuring that his brilliant PERSONALITY should be enough to carry him through any situation. Same thing in his 'negotiations' with Kim etc.

He's the first President to refuse his daily intelligence briefings. But most people were relieved by that, figuring the LESS he knows about what's happening THE BETTER. That's one thing. But this is different. This kind of thing is just humiliating for the whole country.

Both Reagan and Bush Jr. were morons, but at least they KNEW they were clueless, and took advice from people who WEREN'T clueless. What sets Trump apart is that he's a moron who THINKS he's a genius. The worst possible combination.
