In reply to the discussion: Trump Says He Hasn't Been Briefed on Russian Fighter Jets Breaching NATO Airspace: 'I'll Have To Take a Look' [View all]FakeNoose
(38,677 posts)11. Those daily briefings were discontinued almost immediately
... during Chump's first term. He couldn't sit still long enough to receive the info because his attention span is so minimal. That's God's honest truth. I doubt there will be any reason to give him daily briefings in his 2nd term. It seems those daily briefings were invented by Dem presidents, so they must be a sign of creeping socialism, I don't know.

He can't be bothered by a little thing like Putin, challenging NATO. He has a ballroom and the NFL to work on.

So I guess that means Trump will be sending Vlad 1 dozen roses instead of 2 today.

He's a lazy and stupid person who refuses to take daily briefings because he could care less about actual threats.

He's the most ignorant, uninformed, intellectually uncurious president in the history of the nation.

It is simply not credible that Trump was not briefed about a Russian plane violating NATO airspace.

Trump's too busy crushing domestic dissent to worry about WWIII starting.

He's either lying (most probable) or DOD din't brief him immediately?? Totally possible. In any case, inexcusable.
