Trump: I don’t need daily briefings
President-elect Donald Trump said he does not need to receive the presidential intelligence briefing every day, suggesting in an interview aired Sunday that such briefings are repetitive and he is happy to rely on those around him on matters of intelligence and national security.
Trump has been given the daily intelligence briefing just a handful of times since winning the White House last month, alarming some in the national security community. But those briefings do not always change day to day, Trump told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace in an interview taped over the weekend. And when he does receive the briefing, Trump said he always instructs those offering him the information to contact him should new developments emerge.
“You know, I’m, like, a smart person. I don’t have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years. Could be eight years — but eight years. I don’t need that,” Trump said. “But I do say, ‘If something should change, let us know.’
Trump has been critical of the U.S. intelligence community, both as a presidential candidate and as president-elect. The real estate mogul has called “ridiculous” reports that the intelligence community had come to a consensus that the Russian government had launched cyberattacks during the election process intended to help install him as president. He told Wallace that he does not believe the intelligence community’s assessment, instead suggesting that it might be a politically motivated attack against him by Democrats.
It's pretty sad when one has to rely on Butterball to bolster his idiotic justification for the illegal invasion of a sovereign country.
I thought you said that Russia invading Georgia in 2008 solved the problem and made the Georgians understand they are not allowed to defy Russia and choose NATO.
Are you saying that military force and murder wasn't a good answer to the geopolitical situation Russia finds itself in?
That invading countries keeps convincing other countries that they need to prepare to defend against Russia invading them?
SO WEIRD!!!
Oh good.
We aren't pretending this is about anything else anymore then?
...and that as being reported by the -snicker-snicker
Hindustan Times! You can't make this shit up! Comedy Gold!
Would it be fair to say that American foreign policy is at the root of your anger relating to your positions on Russia's invasion of Ukraine?
