I have a question for the cognoscenti:

[PCIntern]

Is it a possibility that Trumpanzee is not receiving briefings of national security because he is not cleared to receive them?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

1. no, because he received one before he decided he was over them. nt

[PCIntern]

4. We don't know the level of classification

Of what he received.

6. he got the same one as Obama. you can't deny the president these briefings

even if they are littered with COI.

[Buzz Clik]

9. +1

2. Presidents and Presidents-Elect

by virtue of their position, have access to all national security information without the normal requirement for background checks.

3. My understanding is that he has accepted a few

and has been offered many more, regular, briefings and sit downs with State Dept officials before phone calls to world leaders.

According to Frau Goebbels (Conway), he has chosen to get his info from "other sources."

Sorry, I don't have a link to that - I think I saw it on Twitter.

[PCIntern]

5. How frightening. Nt

[mcar]

7. Indeed

One shudders to think who he's getting such advice from - or perhaps it's the voices in his head.

[MineralMan]

8. He doesn't need them. He knows better than security experts.

He has Putin to help him with such briefings. Ol' Vlad has the good stuff, you see.
