CIA: Briefing Trump was 'far and away the most difficult' than any other president.

[Joe Capitalist]

Briefing Donald Trump as he prepared to enter the White House was more difficult than briefing any other incoming president, a book published by the CIA said.

The publication, "Getting to Know the President," by John L. Helgerson, a former intelligence officer, charted different presidents' interactions with intelligence agencies.

In it, Helgerson wrote: "For the Intelligence Community, the Trump transition was far and away the most difficult in its historical experience with briefing new presidents."

Helgerson wrote that the only comparable experience to Trump's transition was that of President Richard Nixon.

"The only (and imperfect) analogue was the Nixon transition," he said, after Nixon "effectively declined" to work with the intelligence community and instead got his information through an intermediary.

"Trump was like Nixon, suspicious and insecure about the intelligence process, but unlike Nixon in the way he reacted," Helgerson wrote.

"Rather than shut the IC out, Trump engaged with it, but attacked it publicly," he added.

I wonder why Trump's briefing was so difficult. Could it be because Trump is a fucking stupid moron?

Okay, okay. THAT...plus the fact that he is a fucking moron.

The Intel experts say every hour with Trump included 45 minutes of him prattling, mostly about himself. He was paying no attention because he did not care. There was no profit in that for him. He did a few of his duties, but could not hide how much he wanted no part of the job.

YEAH, WE'LL JUST FORGET THE GLARING TREASON BY THE CIA AGAINST HIM...THAT HE WAS SMART ENOUGH TO SEE....AND ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR PRES.MORON...DOESN'T GET TO ASSAIL PRES.TRUMP ANYMORE.
