Donald Trump Avoids Intelligence Briefings Because He’s an Idiot

"Donald Trump avoids intelligence briefings because he’s intellectually limited and he knows it. For most of his life Trump has tried to hide his compromised brain capacity through false bravado, insults, verbal and emotional abuse of others and the marketing of his name. Trump has mastered the art of deflection of his business incompetence, along with his personal insecurities and fears. He took this model and ran for president, winning by convincing enough Americans to find fellowship in the dark message of his own narcissism.  After his presidential win, Donald Trump is starting to realize the gravity of the office he is about to hold. The presidential intelligence briefings prior to him being sworn is clearly scaring the sh*t out of him. The complexity of it must be frightening to a man who lacks rudimentary intellectual capability, so Trump is simply avoiding intelligence briefings. Trump is afraid to ask questions because it will reveal the depth of his ignorance. In the intelligence world, some of his deficiencies could be mitigated by the likes of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency that could devise simplistic ways to present Trump with information. NPR indicated in a column that presidents have the presidential daily briefings (PDB’s) modified to the intellectual level and preference of that particular president. Given Donald Trump is arguably the lowest intellectually functioning president we’ve ever had, intelligence agencies may need to get creative in how they present information to him (and if you add Trump’s short attention span, the CIA may have to resort to 3 X 5 cards and coloring books).  There are millions of Americans with varying intellectual abilities who manage to navigate their lives by harnessing their strengths and weaknesses in a way that allows them to contribute greatly to society. However, what makes Trump particularly dangerous is his refusal to acknowledge his limitations."
