I realize Axios sucks, but it was this or the Daily Mail, which was who Trump talked to, and fuck them.

That dumbass blurted out the location of Chinese missile silos in passing on Fox just last week.

Wow, what restraint. Now I definitely trust this guy who can't even trust himself with highly confidential information and the nuclear codes. /s.

The truth is he can't control what pops out of his mouth and he knows that.

Zerlyna@lemmy.world · 49 pts · 1y (4 replies)

Sounds like he can’t control what comes out either end.

God I forgot about that interview

DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 1y

I doubt he's that self aware.

edgemaster72@lemmy.world · 50 pts · 1y (1 reply)

So he's definitely leaking intel, then.

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 1y

And leaking bodily fluids too most likely.

He'll get his security briefings from Putin, thank you very much.

Translation - the dementia has gotten bad enough he has no idea what he can say and what he can't.

missed the . before com

Regardless if he receives them or not, unless every sentence contains his name, he won’t care. I doubt he can even read and comprehend the briefings at this point.

FuglyDuck@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 1y

I'm sure they have entire tomes of sentences with his name in it.

"Trump is the nation's greatest security threat", and lots of variations there in.

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 1y

Weird. Thanks. Fixed.

EleventhHour@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 1y

also: can't be accused of being intelligent

someguy3@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y

Orrr, he doesn't fucking care anyway.

axios sucks? how?

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Their articles give way too little information.

vxx@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y

I'm sure I've read last week that his credentials for these briefings were revoked.

You don't have to post it. It's not exactly big news

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 52 pts · 1y (2 replies)

When did this community become only about big news?

I'm looking at the front page.

Top story right now:

California woman fed up with stolen mail sends Apple AirTag to herself to catch thief

Second from the top:

Microsoft's Copilot falsely accuses court reporter of crimes he covered

There's even a post on the front page about "throwaway cup culture."

And yet it's the post I made about something happening in the current election you choose to post that in. Interesting.
