    This isn’t about “doing what he’s told”.

    It’s about whether he was capable of understanding the information they were trying to provide to him. He wasn’t able to do that. He was too stupid to hold that office.

    Oh FFS, your arguing something you have no clue of. The withdrawal plan was Trumps….100% Trumps. Bidens screwup was trying to expedite it…and FTR, I called him out for that botched BS he pulled. I have a clear record on that

    And I know who headed the intelligence agencies and what they were doing. Clapper is cited in the article. Why should Trump have trusted any of them?

    He had no reason to do so, since he believes he knows more about every subject than all the greatest specialists in the world.

    The stable genius...

    And to no surprise, CNN fake news is the source. Didn’t age too well did it? Their anchor was exposed and hopefully fired today.

    You never looked, you have chosen to remain in the dark. That is your fault.

    And no, you are.

    Ark, dude...those of us not blinded by the Wizard's optical illusions already knew this and his groupies don't care. He's an idiot who thinks he's a genius that he somehow got via osmosis because one of his uncles was an engineer at MIT. He brags about remembering 5 words which amazed his doctors. He did make ONE true statement in his lifetime - he said that he would not lose any supporters if he shot some people. He proved that with hundreds of thousands of people that died of COVID because he dropped the ball. It's beyond pathetic that anybody can still stand behind him. All of them are traitors to our country.

    Short answer: Lunatics are gonna lunatic.

    He always did resist any information that challenged his preconceptions. Frankly, given some of his legal testimony, I don't think he understands the concept of truth. When rational human beings use words like "truth," we are talking about statements that comport to reality. Trump doesn't do that. For Trump, the "truth" is whatever supports the image he is trying to convey. He isn't a well man.

    It hilarious to see the Orange Man Bad cult upset about and alleged event of Trump and Intelligence briefings. Can everyone imagine what it must be like with a senile idiot like China Joe?

    Probably better. Trump showed far more signs of both senility and outright animosity toward any information that challenged his preconceptions.

    Yard, you're mistaken. It's not that he "doesn't do that", it's that he CAN'T do that. He has been flying on a wing and a prayer making rash, ridiculous his entire life. He has gotten away with it because our laws are calibrated for the employer. We've all witnessed that he has no business skills whatsoever. And, as long as he can force his alternate reality (read: insanity) onto others and get them on their knees kissing the ground he walks on, he has no reason to stop.

    I get it. He is an engaging speaker and he clearly has influence but neither of those should change the scope of what we, as Americans, believe in and stand for. You could not have paid me to conceptualize our fellow Americans worshipping a worthless POS with a big mouth and no ability to self-actualize so he thrives on 100% adoration and compliance. I wouldn't have bought that bridge.

    I'm not a Pence fan but he got thrown under the bus for a bald faced lie and the cultists STILL support Trump. That's sick and twisted and wrong. The only *good* thing Trump can do now is die. I'm sorry. I know that's morbid. I know it's harsh but he is seriously our Public Enemy #1 when he has the ability to get thousands of people to breach our Capitol on a mission to hang our seated Vice-President for DOING HIS JOB, he is the American terrorist and I'm ashamed of every American that supports him. I thought we, collectively, were better than that.

    P.S. You miswrote "petulant, whiny, pathetic child" in your last word in your last sentence.

    So Trump was suspicious of the intelligence agencies he would be heading going into office?
    The very same intelligence agencies that faked the Steele Dossier to remove a sitting president?
    The very same intelligence agencies that faked the Russia collusion hoax to remove a sitting president?
    The very same intelligence agencies that faked the FISA warrants to spy on his campaign to remove a sitting president?
    The very same intelligence agencies that fired 25 FBI agents for their part in faking information?
    The very same intelligence agencies that caught Brennen lying to Congress abut the Steele dossier?
    The very same intelligence agencies that left Americans behind to Taliban terrorist?

    Since history had proven Trump was right, that would make him pretty intuitive.

    You mean the CIA that tried to take down Trump. You do know their job involves lying to a lot of people don’t you?

    You lost all credibility with that ridiculous statement. The Orange Ogre is sharp as a tack in all interviews and can go on for hours. Biden can't even read a prompter for more than 5 minutes most of the time.

    I'm not going to elaborate on yet another conspiracy theory with someone who still believes that the elections are rigged.

    As long as he's no longer President, history may well have proven Trump right if you like.

    I don't really care.

    Sharp as a tack?

    He can't even understand that he lost the election.
