Trump either cannot or refuses to read. Not once in 22 months and 25 days has Trump risen in the early morning and read the President’s Daily Briefing; he’s too busy tweeting some nonsense which is surely a lie.

On Wednesday the Washington Post revealed that the intelligence community is upset that Trump refuses to be informed. They claim that there is a growing division between them and the fake-Commander-in-Chief.

When Trump boasts about anything, we know it is a lie. So it is with his intelligence. We have learned that his claims of a superior intellect are a huge lie. The truth is that 98 percent of the decisions a president makes related to international relations come from the information given to him by the CIA, the NSA, the FBI, and the DIA. Not true for this illegitimate president. 90 percent of the time he simply “wings it.” He trusts his “feelings;” and that’s a necessity because his intelligence is lacking.

“The President’s Daily Brief (PDB), a document that for decades has been drawn up specifically for the commander in chief, ‘has become more important for Cabinet-level officials than the president,’ said a former senior U.S. intelligence official who until earlier this year was involved in drafting such documents. The official, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.”

Any man or woman with average intelligence is fully aware that the greatest danger to a nation or an individual is ignorance. Sadly, Trump chooses to be ignorant. Reading and taking the necessary time to make an intelligent decision are too much work for this man who has never worked a full day in his sad and unremarkable life.

As I watch his hypocritical party continue to support him, I become very afraid. On November 3, 2020 it is mandatory that not only must Trump be defeated, his entire party must be retired. Returning all three branches of government to Independents and Democrats will insure that the people have control of our government; our nation.

Please vote and encourage others to do the same. This is our country, not theirs.
