I found it arrogant, i.e., what kind of person has to remind everyone how smart they are?

To paraphrase the Bard: The Donald doth protest too much, methinks.

I really respect a person who takes a humble approach.

Maybe he knows that any briefing from the current administration is tainted info and not worth listening to?

Maybe he has advisors who brief him on the same info and are indeed familiar with these current briefings?

Should be a no-brainer, as said in the article, he didn't want to be told the same brief every day if it hadn't changed, "give it to me weekly if things haven't changed"....

I find it hard to believe that the security of the world has become a daily redundancy with ISIS retaking Palmyra, not to mention al-Q and the rest of the Islamic terrorists as well as Russia and China disrupting American spheres of influence in the Middle East and the South China Sea, respectively.

Of course, there could be other  reasons for Trump wanting to avoid US intel.

Trump Declares War on the Intelligence Community

"Six weeks before the inauguration, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s budding administration has been thrown into crisis by revelations of clandestine Russian interference in our election. None of the issues is new ... but Trump’s reaction to them has opened the door to unprecedented conflict in Washington before he even moves into the White House.

"Trump has repeatedly pooh-poohed allegations that the Kremlin meddled in the election, dismissing them as foolishness. Such memorably cavalier brush-offs—for instance suggesting in September that the culprit behind the theft of Democratic National Committee’s emails wasn’t Moscow, rather a '400-pound guy' on a bed somewhere—drew guffaws from his supporters but have now landed Trump in serious trouble...."

Donald Trump used to criticize President Obama for not holding daily intelligence meetings

"The incoming commander-in-chief, who said Sunday he will forego daily intelligence briefings because he is 'smart,' used to criticize President Obama for missing some meetings...."

Obama missed more than 50 percent of the briefings per Trump's Sept. 2012 tweet, "but apparently changed his mind on the matter since winning the White House."

Oh, the irony of it all!

Maybe Trump has too many outside distractions?

"Trump said recently that he will take steps to separate himself from his business operations and will announce details at a major press conference this coming Thursday. That announcement led to speculation about whether Trump planned to divest himself from his businesses by selling off his vast network of hotels, golf courses and licensing agreements.

"But the comments Sunday suggest nothing has really changed since Trump first began addressing the issue during the campaign, and that Trump has no intention of selling...."

 Trump has 3 Generals in his cabinet , I'm pretty sure he's receiving daily briefings...

How? Don't those three retired generals have to be confirmed by the Senate along with the rest of Trump's cabinet before they  too can be briefed?

And why does Trump want so many generals in his cabinet when he said that he knew more about ISIS than all of them?

from NY Daily News:

"Donald Trump acknowledged Sunday that he's receiving intelligence briefings less frequently than other President-elects have in the past, explaining that he doesn't 'have to be told' of the critical session's findings because he's 'a smart person.'

"'... 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 for the next eight years. Could be eight years — but eight years. I don't need that,' Trump continued."

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-don-daily-intel-briefs-smart-article-1.2906907

Once again spinning what Trump actually said; he did NOT say he didn't need the briefings because he's a smart person; he said he didn't need to get the same info every day. Notice how the bolded sentence contradicts the sentence in red. Read the actual words, bolded above.....this is fake news at it's finest.  And it's pathetic.  Did you even read it before you posted it, OS2?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
