Trump Says He Doesn't Need Daily Intelligence Briefings Because He's 'You Know, Like, a Smart Person'

In an interview with Fox News’ Chris Wallace on Sunday, Donald Trump, who has no idea what the office of the President entails and doesn’t give a fuck about it, confirmed reports that he is indeed receiving intelligence briefings much less frequently than previous President-elects have.

On Thursday, Reuters reported that Trump is receiving the President’s Daily Brief (PDB) once a week, even though it’s literally called a “daily brief” and that’s absolutely what it’s meant to be (of course, there’s no law saying the President-elect has to read it). In contrast, Mike Pence reportedly reads six PDB’s a week, which sounds suspiciously like he reads the rest of them. He’s like a great personal assistant but with all the national secrets of the President and then some.
