What do you think "the talk" or "the briefing" is like? For a guy like Trump?

Not a senator, has served on no committees, has had zero classified meeting? How big of an "OH shite" moment must that be?
I know the briefings begin with the campaign as the nominees are down the the standard two, but most are already in congress and have been privy to classified meetings.
What is the meeting like? How long must it take to give one person EVERYTHING that is classified but need to know for a President?
Has to be something for a congressman, but for a celebrity and businessman? They've had no exposure. At least congress they've had some things from the committees they serve.
Then who does the vetting for advisors? Especially a guy who is an "outsider". I assume he must pick outsiders as advisors, but rule # 1 is don't shite yourself, and #2 is don't talk about fight club.
Must be a surreal experience. Who handles the briefing?

You do realize that Barack Obama, as a state senator and a 2-year U.S. senator, would have known absolutely jack shite as well, correct?

It must be pretty surreal to learn the nation's top secrets.

I think the full security briefing is a HUGE O shite moment for whoever wins.
Remember when Obama promised to close Gitmo when he was running in 2008. If was a huge issue to him. It's still open because he got those first briefing and went "O shite!, it's really needed"

Simmer.
Obama served on a committee or two, so he had to have something? Maybe trivial but still classified.

Sorry. Still a little on edge.
But yeah, I mean I'm sure there was some classified information he was privy to as a u.s. Senator, but it wouldn't have been any top secret POTUS-level stuff.

I was gonna mention this.
Sort of a ""you were full of shite when you said that, but now I'm gonna tell you why you're full of shite."

Wonder what 4 White House years will do to trump?
Them's HARD years.

He'll probably take a lot of notes.

It will be interesting when the Joint Chiefs of Staff brief Pres. DJT for the first time.
"That line about knowing more than us about ISIS was a good campaign slogan Mister President, but now sit back and let us tell you what you don't know."
