I imagine he'd feel pretty out of place in an intelligence briefing.

It just becomes a briefing while he's in the room
It takes him over a week to save up enough intelligence to make it through one of them.
They just gave him pictures
Probably just emojis, much like:
👊🇺🇸🔥
Once he understands by clapping, they give him a cheerio on his high hair table.
They literally had to include his name in every part of it, otherwise he didn't pay attention. That was the first term. Clearly he's not even pretending to sit through it now.
We know djt is lazy fuck. I wonder what evil asshole(s) is really running things.
Stephen Miller, obviously.
I still think musk is involved too. He is trying to get less publicity, but no way he is giving away the power.
Fucker both looks and acts like Putin.
Also a dildo. I'm 99% sure that dude began life as a dildo. Never stopped either.
Dildo factory reject. Testers reported discomfort due to what's known in the industry as "Shapiro syndrome" or sudden vaginal dessication.
It's that Eastern European pedophile rizz. He and Jared Kushner have the same look.
Someone said in another thread he exhibits signs of ASD, and I can't stop thinking about that, especially knowing that that has significant symptom overlap/comorbidity with other things, ADHD, for example.
Who's running the country? Miller?
Nah, he very clearly has dementia, and has had it for a while now.
That doesn't preclude ASD, ADHD. And I'm not saying he has that, just that I'm mulling the possibility.
MF is the leader of the free world and has less meetings than I do
The US and its president are definitely not leading the free world. Maybe still a leading world economy. But at this point, the country is actively destroying its own economy and is on its way out of even being considered part of the free world at all.
Leader my ass. The rest of the world is moving on.
He doesn't do intelligence.
Do you really want him to be at more? The more he knows the more Putin knows. Unless someone leaks it on signal again then we all know.
Don't worry, he has staffers to leak all the other information through their Starlink connection at the White House.
I thought he skipped like almost all of them last time too? This is just par for the course
That's why he had to take the notes back home to study. Duh!
Depends on the course and what he decides is his handicap that day.
Don't worry, he's got his eyes on the ball the whole time
He has concepts of intelligence
Eh, I hear that sometimes he loses the ball, claims a do-over to keep his golf score down.
Why change now?
the only intelligence briefing he will sit through, is Putins issuing orders to dismantle every intelligence agency or investigation against putin.
12 too many.
The people giving the briefings should just jingle some keys to get his attention.
Or a hot and fresh hamberder
Probably for the best. Can't leak what he isn't told.
Should hold fake meetings with finger paints.
-5 to intellect
So he is at - 25 now?
Public record: Trump lacks intelligence.
So approximately 1 per week. Seems reasonable enough.
They aren’t “daily intelligence briefings”, they’re “intelligence briefings”. Basically no president ever attended them daily.
Each president is different in the manner and pace at which they receive their briefings, and Trump is not entirely out of step with some of his predecessors.
But with Trump, there is added concern as he is known not to read the accompanying briefing document, referred to as “the book,” that is put together by intelligence analysts in a highly labor-intensive process. This document is delivered in hard copy or on a tablet device to the president and his key advisers five days a week.
And especially now where times are particularly quaint and idyllic there's no reason for the guy not to enjoy spring time on his golf course.
More intelligence could do the guy some good. He can't answer basic questions about things like his responsibility to abide by his sworn oath as well as how many signal leaks there have been at any given moment.
Y'all, elect me President. I'd go to ALL the intelligence meetings.
How many bowls of candy has he eaten is the more important question to ask here.
the bigger question how many meals of Mcdonalds he has eaten in a day, and how many layers of orange creme concealer he uses on his face,
Facts!
Annnnnd is that too many, too little, average?
Don't get me wrong, I despise the gu but I have no clue how many is normal 😅
Clue is in the name... daily intelligence briefing.
Woops, one too many negronis.
No such thing!
