Trump before classified briefing: I don
Quote:
Hours before he is set to receive his first classified intelligence briefing, Donald Trump said he does not trust information coming out of U.S. intelligence agencies and indicated he would cease relying on the bulk of the intelligence community’s massive workforce.
Where will he get his intelligence briefings? The FSB? Straight from the Kremlin? Or will he rely on "the shows"? Or perhaps he will ask Alex Jones?

And to think that people actually support this ... this imbecile

Well, then, they should not brief him. If he doesn't believe they are reliable, then there's no need for them to tell him anything.

The world would be safer if they didn't.

Oh, he'll get his briefings from Putin definitely. People are already worried that two guys friendly with Putin (Trump and Flynn) are getting security briefings. This is already scary.

They haven't use there intelligence to provide intelligence when they strip out all reference to Radicle Islamic Terrorist. They have been working in a fundamentally flawed administration developing poor habits with a focus on being PC and watering down the importance of information by redefining it into a meaningless bowl of word salad.
Out with the old. In with the new.

The intel is good. The issue is what administrations do with that intel and what info they release to the public and how they slant it. Trump used Iraq and WMD as an example but in that case the intel was correct (no active WMD programs) but Cheney over-rode it and crafted and misrepresented and bits and pieces (yellow cake, drones, mobile chem labs...) to suit his attack-Iraq agenda

“Very easy to use them, but I won't use them, because they’ve made such bad decisions,” Trump said, pointing to apparent intelligence failures ahead of the United States's 2003 invasion of Iraq. At the time, George W. Bush administration officials appeared convinced that Saddam Hussein’s government was creating weapons of mass destruction, though that was not the case.

Trump won't rely on US intelligence agencies
Right, insted he will rely on information from Breitbart. I thought it was a joke when I heard about the Breitbart guy taking over the chief adviser position, but it's no joke.

He gets information from his head.

Trump will check the "hot sheets" - including the one owned by his buddy - the National Enquirer.
