Who does most of the talking?

Why the answer is that Donald Trump is a blabber on steroids. He is completely unconstrained and without personal discipline. His firebrand personality and behavior put American security at risk, and the Intelligence Community know this.

What to do? Do what professional bureaucrats do to protect the nation from errant executives:

  • Go slow
  • Be extremely conservative in processing information
  • Be deliberate and sparse in the release of information
  • Be wary at all times

"The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that intelligence agencies may be withholding sensitive information from the president over fears it could be leaked. The news organization, citing unnamed former and current officials, said that the withheld information could include intelligence gathering methods, such as “the means that an agency uses to spy on a foreign government.” The sources said such decisions to keep information under wraps would be connected to Trump’s apparent fondness for Russian President Vladimir Putin."
