Trump’s ‘fact-free’ approach caused briefing challenges, CIA report says
Ex-president’s chaotic style resulted in presidential daily briefing being delivered more regularly to Mike Pencewww.theguardian.com
During the presidential campaign he told the Post that he doesn't read very much generally because he makes the right decision "with very little knowledge other than the knowledge I [already] had, plus the words 'common sense,' because I have a lot of common sense and I have a lot of business ability."
Asked during the transition process about why he was only getting intelligence briefings once a week, Trump told Fox News' Chris Wallace, "I'm, like, a smart person. I don't have to be told the same thing and the same words every single day for the next eight years." In this case we're talking about a president apparently unaware of having shortcomings at all, let alone being interested in trying to deal with them. Gaps in knowledge? Bah – Trump is, like, a very smart person.
