I know what you know, folks.Obama is the real "smart person" in the room, not Trump, and he knows what makes Trump tick.
Just watch that WH Correspondents Dinner clip for proof.
So if he "Warns Trump Against Flying Blind Without Intelligence," Trump will think "SCREW YOU! LESS intelligence! #MAGA!"
And if he PRAISES Trump for "Barack Obama Warns Trump Against Flying Blind Without IntelligenceFlying Blind Without Intelligence," Trump will think "SCREW YOU! MORE intelligence! #MAGA!"
He will literally do the opposite of the best advice given to him because no one tells the Donald what to do.
Except this guy.
Barack Obama Warns Trump Against Flying Blind Without Intelligence
Obama says, The truth of the matter is, its a big, complicated world.

The current president appeared on The Daily Show Monday for the whole show, and said he believed that Trump will realize the value of the briefings.
I think the President-elect may say one thing and do another once hes here (in the White House), Obama said to Trevor Noah. Because the truth of the matter is, its a big, complicated world.
Obama said it doesnt matter how smart you are, you have to have the best information possible to make the best decisions possible.
He then described the intelligence officers hes worked with as extraordinarily hard working, patriotic and knowledgeable experts before adding: If youre not getting their perspective, their detailed perspective, youre flying blind.

I only see paranoid delusions in this guy's future.
It's not like Trump's going to suddenly come to his senses
and become a good person... or a smart person.
Trump is gonna Trump. And that's a horrific thing.

Drumpf no doubt prefers the Russian Parliament building, also called the White House.
