Trump, who was charged with mishandling secrets, is poised to start getting classified briefings soon to prepare him for his second term
Summary
Despite concerns over Donald Trump’s past mishandling of classified information, including an FBI raid at his home in 2022, the Biden Administration is preparing to grant him access to national security briefings as part of a standard presidential transition.
This approach aligns with tradition, although intelligence experts are apprehensive, given Trump’s history of allegedly revealing sensitive information, notably to Russian officials.
Trump’s team is negotiating terms for office space and transition protocols but previously delayed signing a formal agreement with the General Services Administration.
Some Trump advisers have proposed bypassing standard security clearance procedures for incoming staff.
Last time they had to dumb down the briefings and draw pictures so the stupid fuck could follow along. This time they should just make them as highly technical as possible. Bore him to sleep for the security of the nation.
The thing about sycophants is that they don't tend to be very competent. I expect replacing people in crucial positions will be the start of the end for the US as a superpower.
Make all reports 50 pages long, mostly context, and very little actual Intel. That way, anybody actually reading it can't pass it on. Gonna make a "didn't specifically asked, didn't tell" policy.
No, all he's really looking for is the affirmation he never got from his father. Fill the classified briefings with quotes from people who love him. Leave the details out of it.
I remember reading that the people who wrote the briefings last time had to make sure his name appeared in any section they wanted him to read, otherwise he's just skip it.
What else should they do? End Democracy themselves?
The american voters gave Trump access to Top Secret Intelligence (again!), so this is on them (as is every fucked up thing Trump can and will do for the next four years or longer).
It sucks, but it's the right move. We need to be prepared for what the Trump team does, but we can't just say "we think you'll do evil, so we're not giving you power." That would actually give them all the power. They'd, as the people willed it, take power by force, and then there'd be no resistance. The military would be "in the right" siding with them.
The correct move, I'm fairly certain, is to give them power and prepare a resistance. Let them make their move and show their hand, then a resistance will be justified.
Ideally, we're wrong and he doesn't do what we expect. I don't suspect this will be the case, but we would be wrong to assume it isn't possible and to ignore the will of the people.
We need to ensure Trump isn't a martyr and is instead a symbol of what happens when you become a tyrant. If he's martyred then his movement lives on. If he becomes what we suspect he will then the people will ally against him and the military will be right in turning against him.
The world is a more complex place than when he left. Better use the big box of 64 crayon colors. If you have to use hand puppets, don't forget to do the voices.
In the 1930s a large majority of the german people wanted Hitler to lead them. That didn't mean that the german jews or gays or the poles or anyone else deserved what happened to them.
