Interesting article in the Denver Post today, about Dotard, who has the attention span of a four year old, as his ‘briefers’ try to inform him on vital National Intelligence issues while he interrupts them with Bullshit from FOXNews.
INTELLIGENCE BRIEFINGS
Trump a challenge for CIA analysts
WASHINGTON» President Donald Trump has blamed many others for his administration’s flawed response to the coronavirus: China, governors, the Obama administration, the World Health Organization. In recent weeks, he has also faulted the information he received from an obscure analyst who delivers his intelligence briefings, although he was warned repeatedly.
Trump ignored a host of warnings he received around that time from higher-ranking officials, epidemiologists, scientists, biodefense officials, other national security aides and the news media about the virus’ growing threat.
Trump, who has mounted a yearslong attack on the intelligence agencies, is particularly difficult to brief on critical national security matters, according to interviews with 10 current and former intelligence officials familiar with his intelligence briefings., because he blames them for correctly reporting that Russia actively supported his campaign.
Relies on friends
The president veers off on tangents, and getting him back on topic is difficult, they said. He has a short attention span and rarely, if ever, reads intelligence reports, relying instead on conservative media and his friends for information. He is unashamed to interrupt intelligence officers and riff based on tips or gossip he hears from FOXNews, former casino magnate Steve Wynn, retired golfer Gary Player or Christopher Ruddy, the conservative media executive.
