We know djt is lazy fuck. I wonder what evil asshole(s) is really running things.
Someone said in another thread he exhibits signs of ASD, and I can't stop thinking about that, especially knowing that that has significant symptom overlap/comorbidity with other things, ADHD, for example.
Who's running the country? Miller?
Nah, he very clearly has dementia, and has had it for a while now.
That doesn't preclude ASD, ADHD. And I'm not saying he has that, just that I'm mulling the possibility.
He doesn't do intelligence.
MF is the leader of the free world and has less meetings than I do
The US and its president are definitely not leading the free world. Maybe still a leading world economy. But at this point, the country is actively destroying its own economy and is on its way out of even being considered part of the free world at all.
Leader my ass. The rest of the world is moving on.
I thought he skipped like almost all of them last time too? This is just par for the course
That's why he had to take the notes back home to study. Duh!
Depends on the course and what he decides is his handicap that day.
Do you really want him to be at more? The more he knows the more Putin knows. Unless someone leaks it on signal again then we all know.
Don't worry, he has staffers to leak all the other information through their Starlink connection at the White House.
Don't worry, he's got his eyes on the ball the whole time
He has concepts of intelligence
Eh, I hear that sometimes he loses the ball, claims a do-over to keep his golf score down.
Why change now?
the only intelligence briefing he will sit through, is Putins issuing orders to dismantle every intelligence agency or investigation against putin.
The people giving the briefings should just jingle some keys to get his attention.
Or a hot and fresh hamberder
Probably for the best. Can't leak what he isn't told.
Should hold fake meetings with finger paints.
-5 to intellect
So he is at - 25 now?
Y'all, elect me President. I'd go to ALL the intelligence meetings.
Public record: Trump lacks intelligence.
How many bowls of candy has he eaten is the more important question to ask here.
the bigger question how many meals of Mcdonalds he has eaten in a day, and how many layers of orange creme concealer he uses on his face,
Facts!
But it's complicated and boring! And they use long words, too!
Annnnnd is that too many, too little, average?
Don't get me wrong, I despise the gu but I have no clue how many is normal 😅
Clue is in the name... daily intelligence briefing.
Woops, one too many negronis.
No such thing!
