Saturday, May 10, 2025

Donald Trump has been president (for the second time) for more than 100 days. In that time, he has reportedly shown a troubling lack of regard for his daily intelligence briefings. T

We're going to get hit.

Trump has opened our door wide and done everything but issue a formal invitation.

That Trump actually did attend twelve of these briefings begs the questions: Did he pay attention? Did he understand? Does he remember?

Donald Trump, never a sharp tool, is going senile.

"Trump Has Skipped All But 12 Daily Intelligence Briefings"

And probably never missed an episode of Fox News shows as he scarfs Big Macs in his bathrobe during "Executive Time" until 1 pm.

They just need to remember to order the Big Macs for the meeting. Problem solved.

Trump needs a 9/11 do he can declare Martial Law

Perhaps he'll have the Proud Boys... or just Panzer Leader Stephen Miller, set fire to DC.

That would be so Hitleresque.

If Trump doesn't know, he doesn't have to lie.

He already knows everything so wht should he attend plusDaddyVlad tells hum everything he wants him to know.

Daily intelligence briefings is a bit of an oxymoron, no? Why WOULD he attend them unless it was for the Big Macs as Corky suggested...

He does the russian daily briefing? Doesn't that matter more MAGA?

Trump and intelligence are words rarely seen together.

Was he even awake?

"Was he even awake?"

Good question. My bet; probably not.

The Chinese government must be rubbing their hands together in glee and figuring with Trump in and Hegseth in charge of the DOD (after firing a cybersecurity unit), the world is their oyster.

Who knows? Once more chaos is strewn across America, they may conclude it's time for them to grab Taiwan.

Trump has upset an 80-year era of American dominance in the world, trust in our monetary system, and belief in our system and rule of law.

Think Netanyahu pandering to Hamas...until the breakout rebellion and yes, war crimes were committed by Hamas.
If Trump can get someone, somewhere, to attack America, he is President for Life, I am sure that is going on in his mind.
Iran, if you are listening...
I thought I was cynical thanks to Nixon and Kissinger and the Vietnam War, but Trump is a different kind of unAmerican fascist.

PDB's are infiltrated by enemy intelligence, imo.

Biden proved that by sticking with ZAKA talking points and funding Israels genocide campaign.

In fact presidents rarely seem factually informed.

Whatever manufactures Presidential Daily Briefings appears to have always been an enemy agency.

Old Yeller doesn't want to know.
The four things to which he devotes most of his time are:
Stewing in his own juice, teebee, golf and thieving.
National security?
Fuhgedaboudit.

Of course he has skipped the meetings.

They're boring.

He is not a serious president.

He only craves the attention.
