Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
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. Trump has reportedly sat for just 12 "daily" briefings since his second term began in January"an eyebrow-raising drop from the already infrequent schedule of his first time in office, POLITICO reports. Adding to the concern is the claim that Trump is known for not reading accompanying briefing documents, known as "the book," preferring instead to rely on simple graphics or direct summaries. His national security team has also been plunged into chaos following the recent ousting of Mike Waltz as national security adviser. A weakening of national security services has been the fear of analysts for months.

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.
