| Why did he lose his 'temporary' clearance? Because he couldn't pass the permanent security clearance vetting process. Too many liabilities, too much foreign influence, too susceptible to blackmail. Three dozen other people in Trump's White House are in the same boat. Including Trump himself. If he wasn't president he could never get a Top Secret security clearance with his background and vulnerabilities. That's why his security briefings are limited to what he needs to know, and can be trusted with. - New York Magazine wrote:
- Trump, the Post reports, “has opted to rely on an oral briefing of select intelligence issues” because reading the brief — which every president has been able to do since its existence began — “is not Trump’s preferred ‘style of learning,’ according to a person with knowledge of the situation.”
Also, Trump does not receive his verbal briefing daily, but instead “about every two to three days on average in recent months, typically around 11 a.m.” That’s when “executive time” ends and Trump has to turn off Fox News to listen to officials for a while, before he gets more screen time later in the day.
Perhaps not surprisingly, while the verbal method comports with Trump’s preferred learning style, he does not show very strong listening skills:
Trump would discuss the news of the day or a tweet he sent about North Korea or the border wall — or anything else on his mind, two people familiar with the briefings said.
On such days, there would only be a few minutes left — and the briefers would have barely broached the topics they came to discuss, one senior U.S. official said.
“He often goes off on tangents during the briefing and you’d have to rein him back in,” one official said. |
