What an arrogant, naive, foolish, and completely ignorant thing for a president-elect to refuse to do. He should be in these meetings every day learning about potential threats and how the world works!
Today he took a call from Taiwan, without consulting anyone. Something that hasn't been done since the 70's! This is a right he doesn't have as president-elect. Apparently he's preoccupied with his "thank you" tour and simply doesn't care to understand the job.

Give the ****ing Man a chance....I know all the people that are educated and let the gubmint take care of them are scared fng shtless but us dumb mfers that bought bac at 4 bucks cause we got balls and take care of "us "are happier than pigs in ****.. Sayin....

How is it that you get factual inside information as to exactly what the President-Elect does and does not do each day . Are you part of his Secret Service detail ?
Or are you getting your information from the same fine journalists who strongly stated that he could never ever win ?
By the way Obama`s transition was a very poorly organized mess . Trump is very business-like .And by the way -- your president hasn`t been attending daily briefings for quite some time so what do you have to say about that little factoid ?

Don't hold your breath...liberals KNOW what everyone else thinks/does...they just do.

Alas...you suffer from the same hypocrisy as they do...you don't KNOW what Obama does either...because YOU are not there to say whether he takes the briefing or not.

My opinion of the "briefings" is...since none of them seem to care about them...it's all bullsh!t...it's todays "story line"...todays "shooting schedule". Todays script changes.

I think most international "news" is propaganda to justify the political/war machines existence. It's hard to justify the worlds largest and expensive military without "enemies" that we must be protected from.

Trump is doing what good executives do he is delegating so that he doesn't lose overall sight of priorities as they come forth. Just because he is not attending does not me he is being informed of serious issues.

Bear in mind there are people out there ,foreign and domestic, whose only purpose in life is to make Trump look bad at any cost. they will lie, exaggerate, misinform, ignore pertinent facts.

Its why Trump took CNN and other news agencies to task. I didn't like his approach but you can't blame him because you can actually see the perspiration of hate streaming from the lips of guys like Wolfe Blitzer, Rachel Maddow, Don Lemon when they speak about Trump. that is not good journalism. May I add Megan Kelly seems to be joining this crowd

Personal Best Regards:

I hear you, but on the other hand I don't think Trump has the capacity (or willingness?) to comprehend the ramifications of what he would be told...so maybe it doesn't really make a difference if he's there.

One of the most dangerous things that Trump has done even before he's POTUS, is to ignore the information he was given by our intelligence agencies regarding Russia's actions.

Not only ignored, but he attempted to make excuses for a country that we haven't trusted (rightfully so)... for about 70 years now.

And then by Bannon's appointment, he has shown us and the world that he is more interested in lies/rumors/innuendo...than the truth.

As a business person this behavior is no big deal and doesn't affect the average citizen, but as the leader of the free world...it should scare the chit out of every single American.

The fact that it doesn't...is even scarier.

This is exactly what Obama did in his first year, miss his morning intelligence briefings. What's the big deal? After all, when we complained about it, you all said all was good, that it didn't matter. Guess the shoe is on the other foot now. But, if you need to act out because you lost we'll understand. At least WE waited until Obie was sworn in before we started throwing stones at him for missing his briefings.

Thanks for your contribution. There for a moment I thought this thread might actually be a civil and articulate discussion of the leadership of our country and the issues we face, but you made a mockery of that.

Civil when describing the psychopathic liars and thieves who steal from us daily?

Trump will be more of the same, he'll loot the treasury too...they ALL do.

Get used to it, also take the negatives with a grain of salt.

He will be doings things in way a great CEO does them, no nonsense get it done.

CNN is number one on not reporting their rating are dropping.

Fox is #1 on cable news. (I think Kelly like to get jabs in) still is P*ssed says all is cool but it isn't.

Best one is Obama blaming Fox for Hilly's loss

LBud, your rant is a perfect example of why Trump loves you.

The proof is in the pudding. President Obama has kept this country safe from attack for 99% of his term. Will Trump have the same record?

The briefings are called the 'Presidential Daily Brief' for a reason. The key word here is presidential. This is not something that should be assigned to some underling.

Trump has set off an international crisis because he took a phone call from Taiwan, which has been totally against state department protocol for almost 40 years.

He could have read all about it had he checked the state department website, which even a fourth grader could have done.

Simple solution. They should tweet the daily briefings at 3:00 a.m.

And tell Trump Putin is on the phone.

Are naive or what?

Of course he reviews the briefings, more BS

"Interesting how the U.S. sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call from Taiwan not FROM Trump"

international crisis hardly unless MSM told you that.

Protocols will be re-written, he ran as a change candidate.

Maintaining the status quo is the best policy for Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen amid the cross-strait stalemate.

The biggest question facing Taiwan is what Trump’s Asia diplomacy will look like and how Taipei should respond to a complicated post-Obama world order.

In the first place, Trump’s win is a setback for Tsai in that her independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party bet on a Hillary Clinton win from the start.



[Bill Clinton delivers a speech in Taipei, Taiwan.


The reasons for that bet were simple. First, Taiwan had closer relations with the Clintons during Bill Clinton’s presidency between 1993 and 2001, which overlapped with Lee Teng-hui’s presidency in Taiwan between 1988 and 2000. The former US president had visited Taiwan several times as governor of Arkansas and after he left the White House, despite Beijing’s protests. Tsai and the DPP have no personal links with Trump.

Second, Trump’s pledge to kill the China-excluding Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade pact and his isolationist foreign policy stance will probably hurt Taiwan’s interests.

It might be music to Taiwan’s ears that the Republican National Convention included on this year’s election platform – for the first time – the “six assurances” that former president Ronald Reagan gave to Taiwan in 1982. It could also help that the previous DPP government under Chen Shui-bian between 2000 and 2008 built closer contact with a Republican US administration under George W. Bush.

And diplomatic observers might note that the Taiwan-US relationship is much deeper than just the executive branches, and the self-ruled island has long enjoyed bipartisan support on Capitol Hill.

A third of US senators belong to the Taiwan caucus, along with about half of 435 US representatives.

But the big question is whether Trump, a political novice with no strong link to the Washington establishment, will follow the party line or rely on professionals for his foreign and defence policy as all his predecessors did.

The US and Chinese economies are deeply dependent on each other, and under his “America first” mantra, Trump is unlikely to strain that relationship because of commitments Congress and previous administrations have made to Taiwan.

So the biggest uncertainty underpinning Taiwan’s diplomacy from now on hinges on whether Trump will prevail over the whole established litany, or just follow precedent.
