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.

He received a phone call from Taiwan, big deal. It was to congratulate him on his election WIN. Only liberals are making a big deal out of it, in lieu of anything else that's really of importance.

Obama didn't take intel briefings for the first year of his first term. Trump hasn't even been sworn in yet. The world is still Obama's responsibility, not Trump's.

Sounds like someone is nit picking.

It didn't work for Obie. He missed most of his for the whole first year. Is he being given a free pass because he is only half-white?

This makes it very difficult for liberals to argue against, being as both of those articles are from liberal news sources.

Well, Obama set the bar pretty low, so ANYTHING Trump does will be an improvement over Obama.

China lodges protest after Trump call with Taiwan president - AOL News


If this is nitpicking, why is China being so sensitive about Taiwan?

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.

If you can believe what you read anywhere today it wasn't only the first year that Obama missed intelligence briefings it was simply often.

And yet, the US has not been attacked under Obama's watch, with less than two months to go, unlike W Bush who ignored the PDB dated Aug 6, 2001 that read Osama Bin Laden determined to attack US. Bush's reply "Okay you CYA, now go".

Because China is trying to make a point, just like the US does when we file a protest after Chinese planes 'buzz' US ships in international waters.

Yep, what I said....nit picking. Taiwan is a friend, whereas China is a friendly enemy. Being liberal with the use of friendly.

China does not recognize Taiwan as a separate country. It still claims Taiwan as part of China. If you look at history, we have come close to war with China over our protection of Taiwan many times.

It would have been more of an insult to ignore the call, and then you would be disparaging Trump for being unprofessional and inconsiderate. Time to get over your loss and wait until you have a valid complaint before throwing stones.

Oh, really? I guess when you call a terrorist attack (e.g., Fort Hood) "workplace violence", you can falsely claim just about anything can't you?
