He was supposed to attend daily intelligence briefings to prepare for the job, but he skipped most of them.
Why?
He said that the daily briefings are mainly duplicates of each other and that you don't need those briefings every day when they all have basically the same content.
Plus, he's like very smart and doesn't need those briefings.

"In fact, every time I say I had an uncle who was a great professor at MIT for 35 years who did a fantastic job in so many different ways, academically -- was an academic genius -- and then they say, is Donald Trump an intellectual? Trust me, I’m like a smart persona."

Realizing who/what they had in the bag must have sent Putin and Aleksandr Dugin into an orgasmic rapture. they could not have gotten a better stooge if they had designed him themselves in a Manchurian mental hospital.

He actually told Lester Holt that he wouldn't call Cruz "a pussy" as president because "I went to one of the best schools. I was a good student. I have an uncle who was one of the top professors at MIT. It's a good gene pool right there."
