(90,978 posts)Trump -- not so much.
Richard Clark and Jane Harmon were both on MSNBC tonight -- separate shows. The intelligence community is freaking out a bit, but apparently the current POTUS has the say-so on just how much classified info gets presented to each candidate. The speculation is that The Donald is likely to get a very narrow slice of it, just about what you could read in the New York Times if you were interested.
Somehow I think they don't think he can keep from flapping his lips. Can't imagine why.

(25,928 posts)The Secretary of Defense is giving President Trump his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."
"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"
His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.
Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion? Is that yuge?"

(4,463 posts)I've actually been wondering about this for a couple of months. They say these briefings turn the candidate's hair gray (so maybe we won't have to be blinded by the neon orange, at least).
Will we finally learn the details of the Kennedy assassination? Area 51? Has the Enquirer had the real scoop all along? It should be fun.
