People criticised Bush for ignoring CIA briefings about Bin Laden before 9/11. would Trump be responsible if that happened?
Is he right?

Bush's fuck up came when he brushed off new intel about Bin Laden, viewing him as a non threat.
Trump has stated that if anything new has happened, please inform him. Seeing as he is going to be President of the fucking United States in less than a month, I would assume he'll get more intel briefings and therefore have them daily. He will not brush anything off if he has not heard it before, or if it isn't urgent.
tl;dr bush ignored bin laden, trump wouldnt

None of those things are social media.

Literally not even in office yet.

CIA is a big fat mess.
Asher Brown
LMAO the Iraq war was based on those faulty Intel. You stupid Americans got to wake the fuck up.
Intel doesn't need to be briefed. Intel are supposed to be hard facts. In fact, the illusion of security is the problem.
The fact that CIA have no clue. That is just the way things are. You can't hear and know EVERYTHING. Even if you do manage to steal a day of the earthly knowledge, you will not be able to process a single day of happenings in your life time.

How the fuck do even we know he skips it. What kind of incopetent idiots in the chain disclose that information to the public? It only proves how biased and desperate the ones who wrote down the narrite/propaganda get ignored by Trump.
Juan Lee
Trump has admitted he skips it when he was interviewed. He said it was boring and he didn't need to hear the same thing every day. Also said he was smart so he didn't need intel.
Ethan Garcia
no, the PDB is given to like a ton of people
if president needs to see it, he will be told about it
99% of the time they are completely shit

Jose Rogers
Because his "Intelligence briefings" are probably just a bunch of libtards telling him "Alt righters and PePe are out to get everyone"
Camden Bennett
You realize the fucking Internet was invented by the US government to communicate with itself right? Darpa was the agency that invented it.
You honestly think they have no means of sending secure messages to the president?
The president has the means to control the military from airforce one for fuck sake.
Anthony Lee
Trump is not ignoring intel briefings. He is deliberately skipping misinformation briefings from the CIA. There are a dozen different US intelligence agencies and they all have different, sometimes opposite, analysis conclusions. There are those in Washington (like that fucktard Harry Reid) that want Trump to be told false info. Why the hell should Trump listen to hostile forces?
So what does Trump do? He gets high-quality intel from Booz-Allen, a top security private-sector consulting firm (Snowden worked there). Trump knows where to get the reliable, non-partisan stuff and usually that means private-sector.
Cameron Morales
>CIA directly threatening Trump with terrorist attacks
Benjamin Bailey
didn't they promise to not fill him in on those briefings and don't they currently give him false Intel briefings? if so who gives a shit, if he does ban Muslims there will be no terrorist attacks

Nigger - this story ran in WaPo ONE DAY before Benghazi and look what happened.

God bless capitalism.
Literally out jewing the jew.

>bush ignored cia briefings and 9/11 happened
>bush listened to cia briefings and iraq happened
honestly, iraq cost more american lives, made (and is making) america more dangerous and was a bigger burden to the economy.
If we look at these two things objectively, ignoring CIA briefings is the right choice.
Parker Miller
Someone tell me why do we need the CIA anymore? We have the DIA doing a better job than those fucktards sticking their thumbs up their ass all day. They were never useful during the war on terror.
Asher Parker
Except another WaPo fact checker debunked this
washingtonpost.com
Obama did read his briefings every day.

Andrew Murphy
Here's a contrarian point of view:
cato.org
I'm not even a conservative, but it rings true. The alarmist nature of the briefings can affect the mindset of the CnC. What's more of a concern for me is that Trump appears to be an unabashed Zionist. But the Middle East is already aflame, not supporting a Palestinian state wouldn't make any more of a Mess in that region than we're already seeing.
Aaron Perez
A) Pence takes intel briefings for him
B) Trump gets his own intel from private intelligence agencies
Lincoln Hughes
Considering Obastard's track record, which do you think more accurately describes the day to day activities of King Nigger?
Owen Fisher
didnt obama skip half while in office?
dont hear a peep about that do ya
Henry Cook
Owen Rogers
They were giving the same unchanged report about Bin Laden being a threat since after Bosnia.
Liam Clark
Luke Bell
>He will not brush anything off if he has not heard it before
The fact that he even thinks he will have heard the same thing over and over again shows how much of a dumbass he is. The smallest subtleties in what seems to be the same situation can create the biggest consequences. There's no such thing as hearing the same thing over again, similar information can have an entirely different relevance based on what else is happening on any given day.
Jackson Bailey
Thank god WaPost cleared that up for us
Leo Barnes
You mean President Obama you toothless redneck hick.
Bentley Anderson
Literally from THE ARTICLE THAT YOU POSTED, he skipped 56.2% of the DPB's at the low and 62.8% at the height in 2012
fucking fake news illiterate cuck.
Nathaniel Cook
>People criticised Bush for ignoring CIA briefings about Bin Laden before 9/11.
Why would bush need a briefing on bin laden when their two families have been close friends for decades?
Trump doesn't need cia briefings because the cia is literally the enemy. If there's a terror attack the cia will be behind it.
Robert Bell
He's already responsible for anything that happens in the next 8 years.
Isaac Bailey
But but but, you weren't actually supposed to read the article goy!
Don't you trust your greatest ally
John Green
>Trump won't brush them off
>is literally brushing off intel briefings as we speak
user I know you like him but come on...
Easton Russell
The article is two weeks old and Trump isn't even inaugurated yet. I can't think of a more disingenuous OP...
>checks catalog
disregard my last sentence.
Ayden Thompson
Pence is going to all the briefings anyway, and he will tell trump if something big is up.
Ryder Rogers
Also Flynn and Mattis do attend the daily briefings, I'm sure they would let Trump know if some shit is up.
Kevin Bailey
Dude you're just making that up. the article has neither of the figures you quoted. Obama opted to use a mix of both written and oral briefings for his PDB. He did not skip any. They gave the claim he skipped them 4 pinnochios
Christian Flores
>intel briefings
>bobama literally skipped 58% of them
>trump isn't even president yet
>implying he would even want to be lectured by the CIA which has been putting out horseshit "MUH RUSSIA" SHIT
>the CIA who ran a shadow candidate in Utah with mcmuffin to try to get shillary in
>the CIA who sets up a lense for the president to end up making the decisions they want him to make
user I know you're a shill but come on...
Julian Wright
> 4 (((pinnocios)))
Ya and Hillary is leading in all the swing states too
Thomas Reed
>Dude you're just making that up. the article has neither of the figures you quoted.
The article clearly states the percentage of briefings he went to.
>Obama receiving an in-person briefing on the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) 43.8 percent of his time in office. (The percentage dropped from a high of 48.8 percent in 2010 to 38.2 percent through May of 2012.)
100% - (% he went to) = (% he skipped)
retarded, illiterate, fake news shilling cuckolded faggot
I have like 5 boners for how fucking stupid you are
Jacob Williams
Bush was in bed with the Saudis. He knew. Fuck, the Bush family is as corrupt as the Clintons.
Dominic Thomas
no doubt, and obama was towing the same line, same policy.
This is why its not necessarily right or left that have the problem, its globalists. neoliberals and neocons are the same fucking thing.
Trump was a giant middle finger to the left-right false dichotomy.

Julian Wilson

Brody Turner
>Obama reads his PDB every day, but he does not always require an in-person briefing every day. ..this is how Obama structured his White House operation, so it is specious to say he has “skipped” a meeting that was not actually scheduled
Obama never skipped any. Some days he read the written report and some he scheduled in person meetings. This is how the previous presidents structured their meetings too.
Luke Foster
Ya he doesnt, there is no source and what is sourced elsewhere is from here
washingtonpost.com
in which it states only that he reads the pdb before meetings.
Trump also says he doesnt
fake news
David Foster
He doesn't skip briefings. He just tells people not to tell him the same thing over and over again. If there's something new then he should be briefed on it.
Jason Roberts
>agency supplying training and weapons to terrorists says others are responsible for when they attack
Brody Green
Do think he would read and/or comprehend the briefings if they were emailed to him?
Hunter Davis
>Also said he was smart so he didn't need intel.
*that hes already been told before.
he wants them to tell him if anything new happens or when something changes.
Kevin Morales
I see what you did there. Obama did read his briefings every day... The report was that he skipped his daily briefings 56% of the time. It's not now debunked because he "read" his briefings. And who knows if he even did that.
Jose Sanchez
>meanwhile king nigger only attended to 40%of the briefings
Ayden Rivera
This.
It's why he picked qualified people in the first place. So they can actually do what they're good at.
