Must you be intelligent to understand intelligence?
The report from Israeli intelligence officers is that Donald Trump does not understand intelligence – and that’s why he disclose spy secrets to the Russians…………just askin

Discipline. That is what he is lacking.

Barack Obama was able to laugh and joke at Whitehouse correspondence dinner while the Bin Laden mission was in its final stages.

The problem with Trump, is he feels he knows better than anyone else! His whole life is based on him being the boss!

The problem is Trump can't get himself out of the rough and tough mindset of the real estate business. He continues to try to run the government in the same transactional way he conducted his business - his modus operandi, "let's makes a deal".

The deal Trump wants to make is less for the good of the people and more for himself; what would make him look good and less how the majority of people would benefit.

The job of the presidency was never supposed to this hard for Donald, it was just simply another win. He could always demand fealty from his underlings who were expected to do the grunt work.

Why try to understand Intelligence and it wider implications, or read in depth policies papers and reports when he could expect someone to condense them into bullet points.

speaking on intelligence...or lack of...


Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross praised President Trump for a trip to Saudi Arabia that was so successful it didn't draw a single protester. One problem: Protests are illegal in Saudi Arabia.

I saw that and wonder if Ross is really naive – dissent in Saudi Arabia --- that’s suicide by authorities ----the Republicans seem to have all decided that republicanism comes before country-----I am not sure when they all came to that mindset
