The White House inadvertently reveals the fact Trump doesn't give a shit about national security

Shouldn't the President of the United States be meeting with his National Security Adviser almost every fucking day?

WAHINGTON, July 27 (Reuters) - U.S. national security adviser Robert O'Brien has become the highest ranking official in President Donald Trump's inner circle to test positive for the coronavirus.

Announcing the infection on Monday, the White House said in a statement there was no risk of exposure to Trump or Vice President Mike Pence.

The announcement caught some White House staff off guard, as there had not been an internal memo about it, one source said. Because of the regular testing regimen, White House officials do not reliably wear masks while working in the West Wing.

An administration official said O'Brien had not had contact with the president in several days. The National Security Council did not immediately respond to questions about O'Brien, who was working from home.

Trump's days consist of eating buckets of KFC while downing diet coke and watching Fox News.

This guy is the laziest president in history.

Trump hasn’t worked a single day he’s been in office. No one should be surprised.

The bum in the White House should be confronted with his ineptitude constantly. Hopefully Project Lincoln will pick this up.

Trump Hasn’t Seen His National Security Adviser

President Trump said he hasn’t recently seen national security adviser Robert O’Brien, who tested positive for coronavirus, ABC News reports.

Said Trump: “I haven’t seen him lately. I heard he tested. Yeah, I have not seen him. I’m calling him later.”

Watching TV until 11:30, maybe "consuming intelligence verbally" every 3 or 4 days.

Regular testing does nothing to prevent you from catching CV19. And if it’s a real test, you wouldn’t fund out for several days later.
