Trump: I don't need daily briefings

[Tom Joad]

The more I see of Trump, the more I like him.

Having meetings purely for the sake of having a meeting is bullshit.

After working 31 years in government, 35 if you count my 4 years in the military, I can't begin to tell you how many boring ass meetings I had to sit through where nothing important was discussed or accomplished. And there's always a few assholes that will prolong it because they like to hear themselves talk, or they are trying to impress the boss. If something important comes up where you need to have a meeting to discuss it by all means call one. But having a "same shit, different day" meeting, forget it.

President-elect Donald Trump said he does not need to receive the presidential intelligence briefing every day, suggesting in an interview aired Sunday that such briefings are repetitive and he is happy to rely on those around him on matters of intelligence and national security.

“You know, I'm, like, a smart person. I don't have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years. Could be eight years — but eight years. I don't need that,” Trump said. “But I do say, ‘If something should change, let us know.’”
