Trump Too Busy To Worry About National Security Threats (VIDEO)

Apparently, President-Elect Donald Trump isn’t terribly concerned about security threats. It has come to light that Trump is not attending his daily security briefings. Reuters has reported he has only been attending intelligence briefings weekly.

While he does not have to attend these meetings, his predecessors have with few exceptions. President Nixon requested written briefings that were later found to be unopened. George W. Bush missed the briefing from August 6, 2001 that warned of Osama Bin Laden’s suspected plan to attack the U.S. with planes while he was out fishing.

It is alarming that a man with so much power is leaving daily briefs to his deputy, Vice President-Elect Mike Pence. It begs the question, what is he so busy doing that he can justify skipping this vital information?

Time and time again Michael Moore has been a speaker of truth and this new information has reportedly made him very nervous (along with the rest of us). Moore noted in an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers, that Trump has time to tweet about Alec Baldwin’s impression on Saturday Night Live, but not the time to attend briefings that could save lives.

Michael Moore took the opportunity to beg Trump to do his job, he said:

“With all due respect Mr. President-elect, On our behalf, you have to pay attention. You have to attend these briefings. This is our country. This is our security. This is our safety. You’re horsing around with all this nonsense and you’re not doing you’re number one job, and the number one job for the President is to make sure that the country is safe.”

“I beg you — seriously. I’m asking you to do your job, for the sake of the people who may wind up dead. We had this happen once before; we had this non-engaged President who wasn’t reading his briefs. You don’t even attend the briefs, so I’m begging you to do that.”

It is more than worrying that Trump seems much more concerned about his image and ego. We hear so much about how Trump is portrayed on television and not much at all about real pressing issues such as security threats and national security. Let’s hope he was watching Late Night.
