One of the most troubling aspects of Donald Trump’s work ethic (or lack thereof) is his notoriously neglectful attitude toward doing any actual work. His office hours are reportedly limited due to what his aides refer to as “executive time<\/a><\/strong>“<\/em> (aka napping, eating, watching Fox News, and rage-posting insults and self-exalting nonsense on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Trump refuses to educate himself on critical issues. He recklessly disseminates provably false information because he’s too lazy and\/or dishonest to learn the truth. And he spends more time on the golf course, schmoozing at Mar-a-Lago, and pitching his cheesy merch, stocks, and cryptocurrencies that have lost gullible rubes billions of dollars<\/a><\/strong>, than he does engaged in the business of governing or anything that’s relevant to advancing the interests of the American people.<\/p>\n

A new report by NBC News reveals that Trump has not been paying attention to the daily briefings prepared for him by his intelligence staff. In fact, according to NBC’s inside sources (as many as five of them), he rarely even attends the “President\u2019s Daily Brief”<\/em> (PDB) to get updates on national security from his utterly unqualified Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard. According to NBC News<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“Trump\u2019s intelligence chief is exploring ways to revamp his routine intelligence briefing in order to build his trust in the material and make it more aligned with how he likes to consume information, according to five people with direct knowledge of the discussions. […]<\/p>\n

“One idea that has been discussed is to transform the PDB so it mirrors a Fox News broadcast, according to four of the people with direct knowledge of the discussions. Under that concept as it has been discussed, the national intelligence director\u2019s office could hire a Fox News producer to produce it and one of the network\u2019s personalities to present it”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Could anything be a more perfect representation of Trump’s utter lack of concern for the gravity of America’s place in a dangerous world? He simply couldn’t care less. And his capacity to understand what’s going on is below that of a remedial elementary schooler. Consequently, his own staff believes that he requires a special education program modeled after the lowest IQ cable news network, Fox News.<\/p>\n

However, it’s curious that Gabbard would need to hire Fox News producers and presenters to act out Trump’s briefings when the Trump administration already has so many former Fox News employees (including Gabbard) working in the White House right now.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Gabbard could persuade Fox News host Sean Hannity to come aboard for this project. Or maybe Jesse Watters. Or even Dear Leader’s daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, whose Fox News program debuted earlier this year. But then, they would all have to get security clearances to be allowed to present the top secret intelligence info to Trump. Could they even qualify? The report goes on to say that…<\/p>\n

“According to his public schedule, since his inauguration Trump has taken the PDB 14 times, or on average less than once a week, which is less often than his recent predecessors \u2014 including himself during his first term. An analysis of their public schedules during that same timeframe \u2014 from their inauguration through May during their first year in office \u2014 shows that former President Joe Biden received 90 PDBs”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s clear that Trump has little interest in the important issues that have burdened other presidents. And NBC’s sources also revealed that “The problem with Trump is that he doesn\u2019t read,”<\/em> and that he has a “distrust of intelligence officials.”<\/em> Many of whom he fired in the first few weeks of his second occupation of the White House. However, true to form, the DNI Press Secretary, Olivia Coleman, called NBC’s reporting “fake news.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The fact that Trump is regarded by his own staff as too mentally deficient to grasp the complexities of national security without it being dumbed down for him in Fox News video bites, should worry the intelligence community that is still in place. And it should also worry the American people. That is, if the media does its job to inform them on an ongoing basis with the appropriate measure of urgency.<\/p>\n
