Trump says he doesn’t need intelligence briefings because he’s smart enough

As US President-elect Donald Trump is entitled to have a daily intelligence briefing informing him of the most highly classified information around.

However, it emerged on Friday that he has been only taking one a week.

And the reason? Well, he told Fox News Sunday today it was because he was ‘smart’

How reassuring.

In an interview that was broadcast this afternoon, he said: ‘I don’t have to be told — you know.

‘I’m, like, a smart person. I don’t have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years.

‘Could be eight years —but eight years. I don’t need that’

Sources told Reuters that the vice-president elect Mike Pence has been receiving his own daily briefings six times a week.

Referring to those briefings Trump added:

‘But I do say “if something should change, let me know.”

‘Now, in the meantime, my generals are great – are being briefed. And Mike Pence is being briefed, who is by the way, one of my very good decisions. He is terrific.‘And they’re being briefed. And I’m being briefed also.

‘But if they’re going to come in and tell me the exact same thing that they tell me — you know, it doesn’t change necessarily.

‘Now, there will be times when it might change. I mean, there will be very fluid situations. I’ll be there not every day, but more than that.’
