An Inside View of Donald Trump

I posted this on another thread and the OP suggested that I post it on its own thread so here it is....

Take this for what it is worth because after all this is GLP, though for me this place is serious and truly enlightening. I have a close associate that I have known for a long time now and whose duties include briefing the president on issues and events on an ongoing basis. Real people that actually do things like this never tell anybody anything at all to be sure, but if they do it is never anything of any importance as they all take their security clearances extremely seriously (except maybe for HC). So in the course of a discussion a month or so ago, this person tells me of an occasion and what happened while briefing President Trump. My friend went through the reports and the president asked questions on each issue. When my friend was done, president Trump asked if he had asked the right questions. The reply was "Yes, you did". President Trump then asked, "Did I ask ALL the questions, to which he received the reply, "No you did not". The president than asked, "What questions did I NOT ask" and he was told accordingly.

I was told that President Trump displayed not only exceptional people to people skills during the discussion but exceptional intelligence and a superior grasp of what it was that he was being briefed on and what it all meant. I was not given any thoughts on what previous occupants of the office may have been like, but the impression that I was given of the man in the White House today was that this man is smart, savvy, and knows what he is doing.

Now I understand that the Common American Idiot has NO need nor any patience for such skills and prefers to be lied to, promised shit that they will never get, and misdirected at every possible opportunity. So the question of whether Donald Trump is a good president or is a good president for the people that inhabit America today, may be two diametrically opposed questions with NO solution.
