    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?

    HELGERSON STOPPED WORKING AT THE CIA IN 2009.

    THE BOOK CITED IN THE OP WAS WRITTEN IN 2012.

    Briefing a delusional fucking moron would, indeed, be difficult.

    Well, you know what they say: "You have to be a fucking moron to vote for a fucking moron".

    And you check that box, Gomer.

    Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”

    Another Trump hating loon hawking his book. Nig shocker. Only the dumbest among us buy this bullshit.

    Funnier still, the notion that briefing a dementia patient is easier.

    Projection
    Projection is the process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, animal, or object. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another. For example, if someone continuously bullies and ridicules a peer about his insecurities, the bully might be projecting his own struggle with self-esteem onto the other person.

    Agreed about calling out fucking morons.

    OTOH, every single one of the lying cocksuckers posting "Trump, Trump, Trump" are guilty of multiple posts about Obama or Clinton. They're low life hypocrites each and every one of them.
