Presidential briefers have traditionally tailored briefings to a particular leader’s preferences — in Trump’s case, he prefers to receive the briefings orally, according to several former intelligence officials with knowledge of his style. His public schedule also reveals a haphazard schedule of in-person briefings, unlike past presidents who received them daily and usually first thing in the morning.
“The president was not briefed because at the time of these allegations, they were uncorroborated,” O’Brien said. “The intelligence community did not have not a consensus. As a result, the president's career CIA briefer decided not to brief him because it was unverified intelligence. And, by the way, she is an outstanding officer and knowing all the facts I know, I certainly support her decision.
O’Brien acknowledged on Wednesday that the president “is briefed on sensitive intelligence matters in the first instance” by a group that includes himself, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and CIA director Gina Haspel, who “meet with the president on a regular basis during the week.”
Not much point for intel if the people responsible for acting on it are best buddies with the criminals that intel incriminates.
Right there. That headline tells everyone he should Not get a 2nd term.
One of the best leaders I met was an Air Force Colonel. I sat a meeting with Civil Engineers and a problem was discussed about electrical. He knew nothing about the subject. He asked his experts in the room his options. They gave them and he made an immediate decision. Trump cant
It’s UNVERIFIED
The daily briefing is an over-rated, self-important, often waste of time. Name one thing in a daily briefing that a president has to hear that he wouldn't already know. If he needs to know it, it can't wait. If it can wait, someone else can deal with it.
If they’re not careful they will run out of people to blame. It’s never trumps fault. 🤦♀️
No, it indicates the selective leaking of highly classified and unconfirmed intelligence by partisan individuals working against the interests of our country.
Says who?
No it doesn't = Intel briefings rarely cover everything & this was never given to Trump-period! My sources at MI6 say this unverified and unlikely.
If it isn't about his money, ratings, adulation, or Ivanka's boobs, he just doesn't care.
We’re done stepping on eggshells for this despicable excuse of a President. He won’t read the PDF because he’s too busy on Twitter calling people names. He was NEVER qualified & not only is he an embarrassment to our country but he is a major danger to its safety & security.
Flap? FLAP? WTF. Try: debacle, disgrace, disaster, scandal, SNAFU, collapse...
Let's say he wasn't briefed. Let's say the intel wasn't verified. This came out DAYS ago. Where is the condemnation? Where is the pledge to support our troops? Trump's behavior is appalling, as is Pence, Esper, and Pompeo. They have failed our troops. TraitorTrump TRE45ON
Trump can't do the job that's required of him, plain and simple.
Its not just about 'reading the briefs'...its about understanding them...analyzing the info...discussing with the experts and then make a judicious decision! trump probably failed on all counts. First....he will not read! Then it gets worse from there!!!I
That's all it's revealing?!

Mr President on the yellow brick road He seems to be lacking in courage. It appears that he's not that smart. Maybe we could forgive him. If he only had a heart.
Hey - Plumpeo got the Secretary of State gig because, as CIA Director, he gave Trump short reports with lots of colorful charts and pictures of little bunnies and girls in skimpy bikinis. Look it up.
