Trump denies being briefed about about the Russian-Taliban bounty plot.  I guess maybe it didn’t get included on the half page of briefing he gets with no three-syllable words.

He has some interesting ideas about it.

Trump tweeted that “there have not been many attacks” on US troops by Taliban fighters as his evidence that the reported intelligence may be “phony.”

Okay, Buddy, you don’t need to be passing out the Phony Awards.

Trump was briefed on the intelligence findings and the White House’s National Security Council held a meeting about it in late March, according to the Times, citing officials briefed on the matter.

I’m almost dead solid certain that Trump doesn’t remember the meeting. I’d be willing to give him that. Truly, anything that happened before yesterday afternoon doesn’t exist.

And, there is the off-chance that the military/intelligence didn’t tell him because of his close relationship with Putin, which includes passing along state secrets.  Or maybe they didn’t tell him because he screws. everything. up.

We do need to find out.
