Summary

Donald Trump has attended only 12 intelligence briefings in his first 100+ days of his second term, a steep decline from his already infrequent briefing schedule during his first presidency, POLITICO reports.

He began 2025 with just two in-person updates monthly, shifting to weekly in April.

Critics, including Sen. Mark Warner, say Trump’s disengagement endangers national security, as he also avoids reading detailed briefing materials.

His national security team is in turmoil, and recent cuts to CIA DEI programs have sparked fears of institutional regression and increased vulnerability to global threats.

You know if we list everything he's doing wrong, what's left is what he's doing right! Efficiency!

Does the USA have enough on budget for all the paper it would take to print out a list of what he's doing wrong? Do we even have the budget for enough hard drives to store the text file?
