Obama warning Trump of danger of skipping intel briefings will only make him determined to skip MORE

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 Intelligence‘Flying 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.

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 he’s here (in the White House),” Obama said to Trevor Noah. “Because the truth of the matter is, it’s a big, complicated world.”

Obama said it doesn’t 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 he’s worked with as “extraordinarily hard working, patriotic and knowledgeable experts” before adding: “If you’re not getting their perspective, their detailed perspective, you’re 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.
