Don’t Need Intelligence Briefings Because “I’m Smart”

Think Progress reports:

Unclear where Trump’s getting his intel from, since he’s been refusing his daily intelligence briefings because he is “smart.”

From Huffington Post:

“I don’t have to be told ― 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,” Trump said in an interview airing on “Fox News Sunday.” “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.” [2]
