Yeah, he’d rather not have anything to do with intelligence.
Buford2k11 November 24th, 2016 at 07:46
yep, he avoids it like the Plague…he may have to do a bit of reading, and we all know, Donald is functionally illiterate…and has no clue about anything other what he sees on tv…

140 characters at a time.

Exactly, send the briefings via Twitter and Trump would be all over that!
fahvel November 24th, 2016 at 11:04
holy sht – the usa run by tweets – actually sounds like the end of the world but, what the hell, let it rip!!
oldfart November 24th, 2016 at 12:15
…That AND teleprompters.

Who needs a Presidential Daily Briefing when you have Vladimir Putin on the telephone…

And besides, doesn’t he already have the best brain in the world, as well as the best words. Any words they could use would be inferior, and therefore not worthy of his attention, anyway.
StoneyCurtisll November 25th, 2016 at 03:38
Of course~!
How foolish of me to have forgotten that “he is smarter than the generals”…
Tommie November 24th, 2016 at 09:19
Of course, there will not be any outrage about this from the right! Trump’s azz should be in those briefings!
whatthe46 November 24th, 2016 at 17:16
not like he can comprehend what the hell they are talking about anyway. he doesn’t want the damn job!!!
Suzanne McFly November 24th, 2016 at 09:30
Well I hope no one was expecting him to take this job seriously.
Larry Schmitt November 24th, 2016 at 09:54
As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Let’s see how he handles the second part.
fahvel November 24th, 2016 at 11:03
with the same dexterity he handles used toilet paper.
whatthe46 November 24th, 2016 at 17:15
no wonder he (lied) and said he’d be willing to get paid only a buck for the job. that’s because he knows he’s not worthy of it.
StoneyCurtisll November 24th, 2016 at 10:27
Key words…
Donald Trumpf… and Intelligence..
Should never be used in the same sentence.
robert November 24th, 2016 at 10:39
So the trumpster has nothing intelligent to say on a daily basis.
Yea I can believe this
oldfart November 24th, 2016 at 10:45
Trump declines daily Intelligence Briefings…
W ignored his…
This is starting to look like a bad case of Deja Vu to me.

And Cheney got the briefings like Pence is getting the briefings. Is another 9/11 coming to keep #Derp45 in power? If something like that happens again, it would almost certainly be a contrived conspiratorial move by some powerful people within our own government. We need to be very watchful and not let this rot spread. It’s time to activate the fourth branch of government, the people on the streets.
fahvel November 24th, 2016 at 11:02
the fuzz head is a putain moron and most likely will remain as such until his end.
Hirightnow November 24th, 2016 at 12:19
Oh…..wait…
You expected him to actually do the job?
Oh,you….
labman57 November 24th, 2016 at 12:40
Trump prefers to get his intel from such reputable sources as Breitbart, InfoWars … and his comrades within Putin’s regime.

don’t forget Nat’l Enq.

As long as TV is around, everything’s going to be Okey Dokey.
Todd asked, “Who do you talk to for military advice right now?”
Trump answered, “Well, I watch the shows. I mean, I really see a lot of great — you know, when you watch your show, and all of the other shows, and you have the generals, and you have certain people –.”
whatthe46 November 24th, 2016 at 22:19
can you imagine if that question was posed to President Obama, how the media would have called him everything and every name under the damn sun, if he answered in that damn way? hell, i can handle the job of an attorney and argue in court because i’ve watched every episode of Law and Order, easy right?
nola878 November 24th, 2016 at 23:02
F*cking media’s a f*cking joke.
Very sad to watch the demise of what was once the 1st line of defense for Democracy.
Edward R. and Walter C. are spinning in their graves

HaHa…Yup…piece o’ cake.

That is frightening…
nola878 November 25th, 2016 at 03:53
When I get frightened, I remember folk like you.
Thanks, Brother.

Wasn’t near their best work, but I saw them when they debuted this way back in ’77 in Englishtown, New Jersey.
Ah..music.

Wife and I lost all stubs back in 2005….
But the memories no flood could wash away…

Missed intelligence briefings are a problem only when the President is a Democrat.
Shove it right wing A$$hats (sharp end first)

It’s not like intelligence briefings kept us from 9/11.
Willys41 November 24th, 2016 at 19:07
It’s not like he would know what they’re talking about, anyway.
amersham1046 November 24th, 2016 at 18:40
intelligence briefings,? hell i’m taking a couple days off and going to my Florida golf resort
Willys41 November 24th, 2016 at 19:07
The Reichfuhrer is going to be far too busy making hotel and property deals with world leaders to actually be bothered running the United States.
He’ll just be the rubber stamp.

It’s probably for the best. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/88da4ec8250da15a7bf42af4acafcbfbb22babf116f27f1165135411b2c7dfc6.jpg

he won’t tweet it, he’ll just call putin and give it to him via text.
The Original Just Me November 25th, 2016 at 04:55
Somebody needs to give it to T. Rump. :+)
mistlesuede November 25th, 2016 at 02:47
After PO kept us safe eight times longer than Bush could, it sure looks as though someone is hoping to have a repeat performance of some type of 9/11 so he can blame it on Iran or whomever he wants to attack.
This should scare the heck out of Americans, if they were actually paying attention. After all, it’s Black Friday for gosh sake.
Please don’t leave President Obama.
The Original Just Me November 25th, 2016 at 04:54
I NEVER thought I would say this but, Romney is beginning to look like a Very Dim, Bright Spot in the Dismal Swamp of T. Rump’s World.
super thanks November 27th, 2016 at 01:46
yes, perhaps the only normal human being on the entire team! I doubt he will pick him though..
