Trump gets just one intelligence briefing a week

Posted by | December 8, 2016 17:04 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics

This is far fewer than most presidents and presidents-elect.

Although they are not required to, presidents-elect have in the past generally welcomed the opportunity to receive the President’s Daily Brief (PDB), the most highly classified and closely held document in the government, on a regular basis.

It was not immediately clear why Trump has decided not to receive the intelligence briefings available to President Barack Obama more frequently, or whether that has made any difference in his presidential preparations. Trump’s spokespeople did not immediately respond to requests for comment…

Indiana Governor Mike Pence, Trump’s vice president-elect, has been receiving his own PDB at least six days a week, the sources familiar with the matter said.

    It doesn’t matter how may intelligence briefings he attends, he will always be a moron who chooses to believe what he wants.

    No matter how many intelligence briefings he attends, he won’t get more intelligent.

      No kidding! Obama’s been getting them for 8 years and it hasn’t helped him any.

        I’d put money on his being higher than yours.

        as one with a school zone speed limit IQ, I believe you should quietly slink back to the corner and put you pacifier or thumb back in your mouth.

    I have done that many times and you are the first to find my humor in it, I guess we are two silly peas in a pod lol.

    Bush blew off intelligence briefings and he stupidly allowed us to get hit on 9/11.

    Then they blamed Clinton!
