President Trump's resistance to intelligence warnings about Russia led his national security team to verbally brief him less often on Russia-related threats to the US

As the White House denies Trump was briefed about Russia placing bounties on US soldiers in Afghanistan, which CNN has confirmed was included in the written PDB this spring, the question of what the President knew and when has moved to center stage. And it brings Trump's aversion to hearing negative analysis about Russia into renewed focus.

They calculated it was best to reserve their limited chances to include such intelligence to the times when the threats were most severe. "Never casually go in on Russia, decide when it's differential," this former senior intelligence official said describing the intelligence community's approach to his oral briefings,"Save it for when it matters.

Well here we go again with the intelligence it's the old adage of don't believe what the intelligence experts say and hear just what I the President say. Again it's not that it isn't true I just don't want to hear it. Again sticking his head in the sand.

The President is an idiot.

Does anyone take you seriously?

How the FUCK did this country become so stupid. We used to be a leader now we don’t lead anything

This is crazy......

TRAITOR

Seriously CNN? You're making a very broad statement that you have no proof or source; this is low; Fact Check: CNN sucks

Warning to the US armed forces official and especially foot soldiers keep your intelligence to your self cut any intelligences briefing with the enemy of your own country.

Do you expect this continued schlock to be believed in anymore? Here's the rest of the report: Due to the well-entrenched deep state, and it's interference with all levels of the American nation, the president was unable to trust any of those at the highest levels.

Why is CNN running Trump2020 adds? Don’t care where the money comes from? greedyassholes

Yeah wtf ever

More than likely because he'll find out things that he has no idea how to handle. Simple information for a simple mind. VoteJoeBiden2020

Very sad state of affairs. Putin seems to be Trump’s closest advisor and ally. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Evidence? None, of course, because it's a blatant CNN lie.

if CNN stops with realDonaldTrump RussiaBounty & RussiaHoax they may actually gain some credibility on many other issues

Another CNN hoax story?

That’s dangerous!

No one likes to hear bad news about their friends

So yet another walk back by nytimes that POTUS was briefed. This time with an anonymously sourced excuse. Media is dogshit.

Obviously he is Putins puppet. He is irresponsible about batting for the other side. Its time for him to be removed in chains along with his brats. Traitors to their own country... Remind him the Rosenbergs were executed for similar crimes

Give it up. We know your playbook.

T$&+p and intelligence in the same sentence. That's a good one. AmericaStrongerWithBiden

Intelligence is not part of Fake Hair Trump.

Question: if the Russians are such idiots, then why is the chauvinistic regime in the Great USA so afraid of them?

Am I smarter than the large orange man?Yes and WAY cuter!!!😼

InOtherWords Much like the Award-Winning bone $purs that kept Individual One from serving his Country. .. It again makes it difficult for him to heed his Nation's call to patriotism because of his Award-Winning Cowardice

They all should be fired.

Same intel when Obama was president, this isn't new.

Because, unlike his peers, he didn't do well at much, namely reading--- Likes picture-books, bright colors, and simple words... He's a simple guy. DONNYROTTEN45

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.
