- After criticizing President Obama for years, Trump reduces daily intelligence briefings to once a week. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. www.tytnetwork...
“President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday claimed that he does not need to attend daily intelligence briefings from U.S. officials because, as he put it, “I am, like, a smart person.”
Trump has reportedly been receiving the classified briefings only about once per week, when typically, presidents receive them six days per week.
“I get it when I need it,” he told Fox News’ Chris Wallace. “I don’t need to be told ... the same thing every day, every morning ― same words. ‘Sir, nothing has changed. Let’s go over it again.’ I don’t need that.”
But Trump used to complain about President Barack Obama skipping the briefings - in typical Trump fashion, tweeting his criticisms.”

He gets intelligence briefings, just not from the US.
KGB, SVR, GRU much better than dopey CIA. Long live Mother Russia!
I would like to know more about Cheetos private server.
Forget ice for that burn, you need liquid nitrogen!
Ba Zing!
Zackly, he will school everyone on politics and world affairs once he's in.
This would be funny if it wasn't actually happening
It's half funny, half terrifying here in Canada. It's probably funny in Africa and fuk'n hilarious on Mars.
Times like this, I wish I were on Mars.
DJ Williams That's the worst part about it!!
it is happening and it isn't funny
minus 150 sometime bring some extra jumper please
Trump is a celebrity first, businessman second, soon to be President third.
Soon to be impeached fourth
.. although actually I think the faithless electors will do him in first.. my biggest concern with that is who they will actually vote for...
Grey Scott So...... What you are saying is Kanye 2020 right!?
9753flyer really? Because at this point, Ted would be a better choice then Trump....
9753flyer The bar isn't exactly high.....
Nikolas Tye At this point, anything is possible man lol.
I personally think 6 briefings a week is too little. That is less than one per day for the soon to be leader of the free world
Terrence Smith
I said "soon to be". The comment was only 2 sentences, how did you overlook that?
no
Imagine the outrage conservatives would have had if Obama refused to have the recommended intelligence briefings a president-elect should have.
It's okay to be a ignorant bigoted man-child president if you're a white male conservative.
There was outrage, though! And he didn't even not listen to them!
Kinoko *White Privilege*
The funny thing is that Trump isn't even smart enough to ask them to give him a written copy and just pretend that he read them to avoid these criticisms. Trump supporters, of course, will claim that he's an honest, upfront man for it. Stupid is as stupid does.
Republicans hated Obama because he is black. and the plan was to stone wall him relentlessly
and then shift the blame . It was perfectly executed by congress.. yes I said it... The United States is racist country , hell we invented that shit.. I am not saying all whites or races.. I am saying we or so busy hating each other that we play in to the hands of our real enemies
Now we have a moron for President .. serves us right ... and the world is laughing at us .
I am often over seas and answering the question where are you from? is becoming more and more embarrassing ...
He'll be getting his briefings from Alex Jones.
He already is.
Orange sperm on the vocal chords. That's what beauty is made of ...
Reginald Mizer
The Globalist are cryin rn
Reginald Mizer My guess is that he's 10 years old at the maximum.
Peter S
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's 16. I remember being into Alex Jones then. Before I grew up and realized he's full of shit.
He's a clown. He probably would rather have his wife sit in on them and report back.
She might actually make for a more tolerable president than this buffoon.
So I guess the rumors are true. Trump really can't read.
He will have it put on tape so he can listen to it while he brushes his teeth or something
RionReoch936, Wrong.
Are you REALLY that easy to con? Apparently so. Sad.
His daddy gave him $200 MILLION. If he put that in an index fund he would have $3 Billion for doing nothing. His leaked 1995 tax data shows he is worth less than $1 Billion. Fail.
Ęÿūį Æßñ so he can't read the book he wrote?
ThePleb He didn't write that book. (facepalms in disbelief of ThePleb's lack of knowledge) Trumpcucks are too much.
Tony Schwartz wrote 'The Art of the Deal' and he said about Der Orangunfuhrer, _"I put lipstick on a pig."_ He also said, _“I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.”_

It was written by a ghost writer.
When he said for the next 8 years I wanted to blow my brains out just at the thought of having to deal with this guy being our representation until I'm 29. I am so done.
dodopoopinpoop LMFAO
Hopefully you won't still be a Leftist Fucktard at 29 and learn how to think by then.
Do you know why? Or are you one of those who hates him because you're "supposed" to and have never seen him speak for more than 30 seconds.
We gotta be able to impeach this clown for something...
Jeff Pride too divided not gonna happen
Gerardo Mendez I'm calling it, he's gonna do something to get impeached
He'll be impeached. Look how brazen he is. He hasn't even started his presidency yet. Presidents have been impeached for far less.
I have my doubts. He's a caveman and that quality is what attracts others to him. "ME STRONG! ME SMART!" and they go "Oh yeah, he sure is strong and smart! He said so himself!"
+Sejez In that case you should re-evaluate your priorities.
I am smart. I know smart. No one knows smart better than me. My smart is tremendous, believe me!
+Wade Haden Hahahaha.... its funny because no one did....
I'm glad Trump mad the distinction that he's merely like a smart person.
Rejecting intelligence seems to be a lifetime habit for Trump.
Me Trump, me smart.
me orange
His insecurities are raging. Who goes around having to explicitly claim they're smart?
I'm like a smart person. The US just went full R-trd.
Never go full R-trd.
We're fucked.
Nelson Evora lol
Remember the last time a President didn't pay attention to their intelligence briefings?
And then 9/11 happened.
lol. he might be the first president to be successfully impeached.
pence would be close to the same... a sad day for america.
Welp. Ignoring intelligence briefings worked out fine for Bush. A lot of New Yorkers died, but Bush was reelected on a tidal wave of fear.
The Electoral College cannot vote for this guy. That even makes me uncomfortable since he "won" but they just can't do it. Give it to Kaisch and we'll ride out the storm for four years.
we can't have a system where we have elections and then the electoral college just randomly chooses someone else. That's a terrible precedent to set it an already battered "democracy". We need to ride this one out and fight like hell to get rid of the electoral college.
Marco Polo
no they are not. that's the point of the electoral college.
United States of Embarrassment
you already have that system, the electoral college explicitly has the power to vote for whomever they please. that's what makes the USA a republic.
I thought the electoral college was suppose to be a fail safe, last resort, switch in case someone highly unqualified won the popular vote. But instead it choose the most unqualified person among all the presidential candidats! It needs to be rid of immediately before it elects trump next election .
CanTheCaroKann Win The failsafe part is them voting for someone else. They have not elected anyone yet, and are not legally obligated to vote for trump. Since trump is showing himself to be incompetent, they can vote for someone else, whomever they want.
i still think Samantha Bee is right. He can't read.
maybe if they made the intelligence reports more fun for him.... like add pictures, maybe a sing-a-long, something that rhymes. that'll be fun for him
lmao
Great idea make it like a coloring book, he can put it up on the White House fridge
Or even if he was briefed by big breasted Eastern European women. Then again he still would not get what they would brief him on. But at least he'd make it to them.
You have to compliment him first in the YUGEST way.
Sondra H lol intelligence report: the musical
"I'm like a smart person"
Wrong!
I'm like a smart person.... I'm highly intelligent.... I know words.... I know the best words....
intelligent has more than 2 syllables.... he would need a teleprompter to feed him that one.
Trump probably forgot that one term is four years, not eight.
William Merzlak Think he assumed he's making two terms.
He's too lazy to be president.
holy crap... South Park got it right.
Alex Jones gives him his briefing, right after he polishes his knob.
He also slid in "eight years" as if we would allow another term.
muricans been fool once, remember dumb it's forever
Don't joke around with that... People joked about him becoming the next President, and look what's happened.
Two words: Plausible deniability.
Nate Hoffman Sadly, that's probably true. If his cabinet members make a bad decision and either break the law or someone dies, he can't ultimately be held accountable for it if he knew nothing about it.
If he didn't know anything about it because he willingly ignored it, isn't that neglecting his duties? Isn't that against the law as well?
Rockyblack smith Nope. Nixon turned down face to face Intelligence meetings and instead had the written version sent to his office. A stack of unopened written briefings were later returned to the CIA.
Technically, the President doesn't have to have any intelligence briefings.
Pence is getting them tho. So I have a feeling that Trump will be very hands off when it comes to anything international. He either doesn't want to know in case something bad happens, or he just doesn't care about any consequences on the international stage.
I think we have all been a bit spoiled with at the very least fairly competent Presidents for the last 8 to 24 years, depending on how you view the Bush Jr administration.
oh boy.
United States of Embarrassment
My thoughts exactly.
"6 intelligence briefings a week!" The guy could only stomach ONE, honestly. The "shit" that must have been revealed to him by these briefings. He must be having nightmares as he now realize that HE is now at the helm.
He said he's like a smart person, not that he actually is a smart person
I sense a 2nd 9/11 incoming
Yep, then its war with Iran or China, and Russia will be on board.
Based on his cabinet picks right now Iran is looking like the likely target. With Turkey going the way of Saudi Arabia they'll be on board too.
Bush was on vacation for literally over a year.
im betting trump will beat that record.
Give the guy a break, It takes a lot of time to condense his ramblings into tweets with character limits and all...
if Obama said stuff like that, everyone would riot, I like Obamas professionalism. curios on seeing Trumps Trumpcard as president
Did he just say 8 years ? Knowing you Americans you will elect this orange clown again
donald prefers to get his intelligence briefings from the kgb and mossad.
bilalha123 Nice try Neo Nazis
Trump want to be President because of the title, he don't want to any work hahahahha
Of course his too busy. He's in the whitehouse to further his business interests. Who has time for national security when there's billions of your dollars to make his own.
sounds like another president we know from back in 2001....but im sure it will be obama and clintons fault if something happens
They can't give him written form because he can't read.
He can read as long as it is 140 characters or less.
I don't need to learn abou the latest developments in politics because, hey, I'm, like, a smart ass.
how do you facepalm on youtube? I need to facepalm.
it wont be long till he "gets bored" of being president ....
Donald Trump and the word intelligence shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
what could happen? it's not like the last president that missed his intelligence briefings had anything bad happens to him and the country.
"I'm like a smart person." Yeah, in that you're a person.
No doing his job probably is the best thing Trump can do to America as POTUS, you guys should let him do the 'thank you rallies' for the entire 4 years.
when he heard he had to do the intelligent briefings he got scared of the word intelligent
Trump hasn't even been sworn in yet, and I already feel vindicated.
OMG, they'Re accusing him of not being omnicient, this is actually happening, *you guys are are finished, this is hilarious! hahaha :D*
quaxk
Hey troll, did you even watch the entire video?
OutlawRebel117
I heard that! I mean, I read that.
We don't expect him to be omniscient....hence he gets the briefings...that he skips...
Trump has the best brain, he doesn't need to have those meetings. He watches the shows regularly, and he likes Bolton.
I never thought it was possible, but I think Trump might top Bush as the worst president in U.S. history.
Don't worry. It's just some nonsense like "Bin Laden determined to attack within U.S."
This is the only news I watch. Thank you young Turks
Trump can't pay attention to the same topic for 3 minutes.
With all of Trumps tweets, insane comments, business conflicts...I would think the major media outlets love it. So much material to use to fill the 24/7 news cycle.
If he's too busy for intelligence briefings, he's too busy to be President.
the Trump election from start to end including this transition would be a great hollywood movie. Unless it was based on a true story
I'm sure some time in 70 years there will be great documentaries about it.
United States of Embarrassment Title ' how trump started WW3'
"I'm like a smart person"
Does that mean not actually a smart person?
well, similar to but not quite.
i wouldn't want to do intel briefings cause none of them dont got crayon drawing
In what regard is like a smart person? In that he's a carbon-based life form that (presumably) breathes oxygen?
That's a BAD intelligence. That's a very bad intelligence! 💩
I'm like a smart person...but I'm not a smart person....lololol
Intelligence briefing is a challenges for Trump attention span so he will try to avoid it at all cost.
He actually said I don't want to be told the same thing everyday for the next 8years! First Mr Trump, as a business man that you are, briefings are never the same especially if they are world security ones. Secondly, make it to your inauguration ceremony on January 20th first before thinking about next 4years.....you're definitely not staying for 8years mate ! 😂😂😂
Perfictly said. I wanted that mispelled. Jack. Cenk - you're great. Appreciate what you do, daily.
When you're a high IQ individual, you don't need to know. You just know.
That's not how knowledge and IQs work.
Wrong.
LEADING FROM BEHIND! TINY HANDS LEADS FROM BEHIND! #leadingfrombehind
*Intelligence and Donald Trump is a oxymoron!*
So...will this make all the intelligence and miltary guys go "WTF?"
Why is the volume so much lower on the TYT videos? I have to put the volume on my laptop all the way up to be able to hear them, and then when I try to watch another UA-cam video the volume is insanely high...
I was worried that I was the only one experiencing that issue. Mentioned it on a TYT Sports video yesterday. Hopefully it will get resolved.
I think they have to lower the volume because of Cenk and his loud "Of course" lol
konstelacioni11 I'm hoping they can turn off Brett Ehrlichs microphone. lol
"Surely this will be the end of Donald Trumps presidency" - Says increasingly nervous looking water buffalo for the 576th time this year
Are you 13, or 14?
It's too bad you're so insecure and your parents don't like you. Don't worry, you'll be paying for this stupidity for the rest of your life.
"I'm like a smart person - I don't need briefings from experts"
Classic Dunning-Kruger effect in action.
Hopefully no one flies a plane into a trump tower smh....
TRUMP know what going on. He having his staff give him a more condense version of the information.
Trump: I'm like a smart person, I invented the IQ test. No wait, Nazi's invented that; but I need that test to show how smart I am.
Trump thinks that being the President will be too time consuming, has no time for boring Intelligence briefings going to let Pence listen to them instead, did Americans really vote for Mike Pence as President? looks like that's what they got!
How many national security leaks will putting be told
He can't read...that's why he never know what's going on and has to shout his tweets for others to write.
you took his quotes out of context about the sadam Hussein part he was talking about the Russian hacks and you made it sound like he was talking about the intelligence briefings
Oh please. Trump doesn't need hours of briefings everyday to know what the Muslims are up to.
John Apple Enjoying pizza is my bet
John Apple Yes, because "the Muslims" are the only ones who hate America. Get real!
KnowledgeGizmo dude come this guy comments on every tyt videos he's an obvious troll
Maybe the DOD should just send the intelligence briefings to trump 140 characters at a time on twitter... He might read them then.
Truly, this is Idiocracy LIVE!
Give him a chance still
I laughed and said that country is fuxed then I noticed it's my country
Trump gets his Intelligence briefings from the RT
He just want the Title but not the responsibilities.... He has no interest at all unless it's a business deal that will benefit himself.
"i'm like, a smart person" LOL!! nice president america! ;)
Cenk also didn't call out Trump saying "8" years ......
Kim Kardashian for President 2020.
I mean...Might as well at this point...
Let's talk about who's president right now..
You know the American people should "tough sh*t, if you are going to be president then you are going to these briefings"
Trump ate Chuck Norris?
Just remember: he´s like, a smart person, so we should be OK.... I guess
This is starting to get boring now.
Constantly finding ways to put the man down before he has even had a chance to prove his worth.
Reducing national security briefings to once a week is wrong ...so wrong...The presidents first priority is to protect the country. If he is missing national security briefing and not well versed in the material...how on earth can he make a intelligent descision when a major issue occurs.
GOP/DEM/LEFT/RIGHT/CENTER/GREEN everyone should be upset.
His brain is Uge.
I have a feeling Trump isn't putting his donors in his cabinet just because of favors but also because he has to fill the entire west wing with whoever he can think of.
