He's brief on a lot of things... which is why he does his best work on Twitter.

I read that Nixon didn't touch the briefings either. The whole month of briefing was returned.

...and so? He should be a role model?

Wasn't he the thin-skinned guy with the enemies list who had to resign in disgrace after presiding over a criminal enterprise and covering it up?

I say let him keep it up. We all know the effects.

Apparently Trump is very low energy or just has no interest in aspects of the job that don't involve stroking his ego.

The Fake News still is fake news...he meets one time a week does not imply that he doesn't read the briefings himself during the remaining days... I thought liberals hate fake news and they come and regurgitate more fake news...

What is fake? Pretending Trump reads them on his own? The source I posted is a Republican website.

I'm glad Trump bashes the Leftists, and their stupid TV shows. They've got it coming. They worked for it, and they earned it. I hope he also bashes "The View."

And, by the way, your beloved Barack Hussein Obama regularly bashed Fox News and Conservative personalities that criticized his policies. If it's good for Obama, it's good for Trump. Deal with it!
Trump has been on SNL several times and loved it. So what are you talking about.

Was it by Mitt Romney? What does that matter? Anti-Trumpers come in all colors.. still fake news.. if you are going to post about it then don't whine about fake news.. it just makes you look stupid...

I realize you people want to make something of every little thing you hear. It might help to do some research before you sound an alarm.

Sit down and take a deep breath. Get your hot cup of cocoa and relax.


If that does not work, I know a guy who has Therapy Dogs.
