Trump on Fox News Sunday says he doesn't need daily intelligence briefings as POTUS because he's "smart"

You are very lucky that the mods here do not allow me to engage you in an open and honest debate.

   Could that be because your Post are totally devoid of openness and honesty?

[HonestJohn]

And now video from a few months back is floating around with Trump saying he hopes Russia will find more Clinton emails.

That video was well publicized at the time.

The question is why no one gave a d@#n about it on our side.

Your idea of "honest" debate is to mudsling and accuse anyone critical of Trump of being traitors...Liberals...Hillary supporters and un-American.

How about you be honest and just admit you're mad that the Mods here won't let you take every thread into the gutter.

When all you have is ad hominem and personal attacks there is nothing honest in your intent or purpose.

If you were capable of it, you wouldn't need moderating.

You can't possibly be serious.  Stunningly inane.

LOL apparently if we're called names we'll be so devastated by it that we'll find life so unbearable that we're unable to go on.

Thank God we're protected from it. 

The dumb ass is playing the fool.  I was hoping he would find a new care unit after the election.  I was wrong.

[Cripplecreek]

Imagine a brain surgeon who said I don't need to read medical journals and study new techniques because I'm smart.

Considering the complexity of the world and the importance of the job, I would probably ask for a cot at the CIA just so I can get more than one daily briefing.

Lincoln was known to hang out in the White House Telegraph office so he could get the info literally as it came off the wire.

He could learn on the job.  No...really.....

Hey it was worth a try.

Of the two choices last month... we got the drain bamaged one.

Shrillery's brain was and is far, far, farrrrrrr worse--physiologically and psychodynamically.

. . . as well as being literally demonized and literally sold out to satan.

And as we've seen... Trump is owned by a lot of the same crowd.

   Trump is so greatly smart he just appoints Brain Surgeons to watch over HUD.  Ben's probably gonna be the only Black Trump gives the nod to.  He sure is making it up to wyman though.

If that is true, then all your posts must be lying crap...gosh, maybe it is true.

You missed content, grammar, cohesion, and interest.

If only.

[Vulcan]

He's going to get a lot of people killed and he doesn't take responsibility for even the littlest things.

And when it happens, will the Trumpanzees care?  Will they apply the same criticism of Trump as they did Hillary for Benghazi?

From what I have seen I would say no.  They defend everything the New York liberal says and does much in the same way liberals defend Barry.   Apparently, it's not the person, it's the ideology.   Whether they are defending a liberal Republican or they are defending a liberal Democrat, liberalism is indefensible.

[EasyAce]

Amazing; not only does he not need daily briefings because he's so smart but he also proclaims he doesn't need forgiveness because he never does anything wrong!  I'd say that qualifies for a double whammy!      

Next, he's going to say he doesn't need Congress to pass laws because, you know,
judges pass laws.

Oops . . .

(Can we dare to dream that---barring Donaldus Minimus committing impeachable acts any time he opens his
mouth after taking the oath of office---the Republican Party finds enough iron in its spine to allow someone,
anyone, to primary the bastard?)

I read that and he also said he doesn't have to hear the same thing (intelligence reports) every day for eight years.  Evidently he doesn't know that our enemies across the world take actions every day.  He thinks its the SAME report every day.  He knows better than that and actually said that to cover up he can't read well.  (When a person of average intelligence or above, makes an idiotic statement there is something that is being covered up by that statement.)  He also said Pence gets the reports and will tell him if there is anything he should know.

Remember, I have said I believe he has a learning disability and cannot read well and I think it is severe due to these statements about the briefings.  Earlier this year or last year, he said he doesn't read much, that he has people tell him instead of him reading.  A way to cover up he can't read is to have Pence read and tell him.  The intelligence briefings are oral except there are documents with them so they would get to know he can't read so he isn't going to have those briefings.

I think you're probably right.  He can't spell very well and his speeches are simplistic to the max.

First president who can't read???

Men WILL die on his watch same as they die under every president but I don't see Trump taking responsibility.

[GrouchoTex]

A week before Benghazi, a report came out that Obama only attended a third of his security briefings.
I think Benghazi was a result of that, being unprepared.
The reason given for him missing those meetings was.............

Obama was so smart that he didn't need the briefings.


And now? Trump is coming out and saying the same thing.

Coming from the orange loon faction who got a safe space at TBR, because they were getting  their widdle feewings hurt. 

You know you couldn't defend someone who had no defense for their incompetence.

Try again.
