Why Trump needs daily intel briefings

A naive amateur, Donald Trump has waived off daily intel briefings. The daily interaction and discussion about intelligence matters is the process for keeping current about subtle changes and new information. While the daily content may not always include new information, the opportunity for the president to ask questions and to discuss issues is a way to sustain knowledge.

Of course, this president believes he knows it all, apparently. The fact is, he does not. The fact is that he barely knows and understands the 56 bureaucratic organizations that deliver to Americans services that they need to protect them. The organizations exist by acts of Congress. The president’s job is to faithfully execute the laws that keep them in business.


This president somehow believes otherwise. The moment that he decides unilaterally not to faithfully execute the laws to which he will be sworn to protect, he is in violation of his oath. Watch for those breaches because they will become the mountain of evidence for impeachment, possible recall, and trial for treason if it comes to that.
