Because that's what is currently happening with the present leader of the free world. And I'm talking policy briefs, security briefs, etc. Doesn't matter. He can't pay attention to anything but TV. He's the Jay Cutler of politics.

"Mr. President, while Kim Jong Un has stated otherwise, the North Koreans have made no moves that indicate an imminent nuclear lau....

What are you saying, that Obama got all of his info from TV? Because that's patently false and easily disproven. Unless you watch fox news and it told you that there is no evidence that obama can read, I guess.

Gotta love bringing up Obama in the first reply though.

What's going to be interesting, is how long Obama and Hillary are still brought up throughout Trump's presidency. I'm guessing it'll never stop.

If Hillary would have won y'all would spend another 4 years blaming Bush.

Of course not.

Trump is far better than Hilary. But I honestly have my misgivings about his lack of presidentialness.

From the OP:

In the Dark: Obama, Staff Learn of Scandals From News Reports
quote:

I first learned about it from the same news reports that I think most people learned about this," Obama said in June 2013 when he was asked about the IRS scandal. "I think it was on Friday."
quote:

VA Secretary Eric Shinseki resigned in the controversy, and the VA's 42 medical centers nationwide are under investigation for similar issues.

"We learned about them through the reports," Carney later said,referencing CNN. "That is when we learned about them, and that is when I understand Secretary Shinseki learned about them."
quote:

Former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told CNN last October that Obama did not know about the horrific problems with HealthCare.gov until "the first couple of days" after the site went live on Oct. 1.
quote:

There have been problems, you know," Obama told CNN in October 2011."I heard on the news about this story that — Fast and Furious, where allegedly guns were being run into Mexico, and ATF knew about it, but didn't apprehend those who had sent [the guns]."
quote:

In May 2013, the Associated Press reported that the Justice Department had seized the telephone records of its reporters and editors for two months in 2012. Justice refused to tell AP why it had taken the records.

"Other than press reports, we have no knowledge of any attempt by the Justice Department to seek phone records of the AP," Carney had told reporters.
quote:

Just last Thursday, President Obama called German Chancellor Angela Merkel to discuss a number of world issues, The New York Times reports, but he did not know that a young German intelligence officer had been arrested the day before for slipping secrets to the CIA.

In addition, documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden last October revealed a surveillance program of Merkel and other U.S. allies that had been operating since 2002.

Obama never knew the effort targeted allies, White House officials said, The Washington Post reports, though he was aware of spying programs that centered on leaders of "adversarial countries."
quote:

CIA Director David Petraeus resigned in November 2012 as head of the nation's primary spy agency over an extramarital affair with a freelance journalist.

Senior FBI officials investigating the affair with biographer Paula Broadwell did not tell Obama of the case, apparently to avoid embarrassment to Obama during his re-election campaign. The president learned of the affair two days after the election.
You were saying?

Don't you look like a dumbass now.

Any comment about my reply?

Maybe you should start watching Fox News. Then maybe you wouldn't be so ignorant and uninformed.

You're right, Trump was named in Rod Wheeler's lawsuit, where he allegedly reviewed the draft of that fake news Seth Rich story they peddled for a while. Good catch!

But as Trumpkins will probably point out, Rod Wheeler's allegations are not facts, and Wheeler was merely told by Butowsky that the review process by the president had occurred. So we will need to wait for the discovery process or the court to hopefully provide some additional evidence to confirm or debunk this matter.

Says the guy who didn't respond to the actual question and instead deflected to Obama again...not that the one newsmax article you found actually proves anything anyway.

I'm not saying that its wrong for someone, even the president, to learn about something because a news org reported it, I'm saying its wrong to only listen to fox & friends for your understanding of the whole world because you can't pay attention to anything written unless it has bright colors, cool pictures, is a page long or less, and says "President Trump is a cool, strong guy!"

And as for evidence, see: all his dumbass tweets that line up directly as a response to a recently aired fox and friends segment. Or that he himself leaked classified info to other world leaders not because "the president decides legally what remains classified" but because he literally just doesn't understand what he should or shouldn't say.

Or the countless reports that he watches copious amounts of TV. Or the reports that he routinely loses interest in his meetings, including ones about sensitive national security matters.

But yea I'm sure it's all 100% fake news so please, let's keep talking about Obama.

You're just making that up. It only exists in your mind.

So...
You can't prove that Trump gets all of his info from tv?
Why not? You seemed so sure of your ability to do so?
