Trump's Resistance to Security Briefings
Donald Trump's reluctance to engage in national security briefings stems from a fear of negative media portrayal and a belief that intelligence officers are part of a 'deep state' out to undermine him. This aversion to preparation suggests a troubling disregard for the responsibilities of the presidency, as he fears potential leaks from these briefings. The commentators expressed relief that he is not receiving these crucial updates, fearing the consequences should he take on the role of commander-in-chief without adequate preparation. This behavior illustrates a deeper issue of mistrust in institutions essential for national security.
