At a Besieged White House, Tempers Flare and Confusion Swirls In private, three administration officials conceded that they could not publicly articulate their most compelling — and honest — defense of the president: that Mr. Trump, a hasty and indifferent reader of printed briefing materials, simply did not possess the interest or knowledge of the granular details of intelligence gathering to leak specific sources and methods of intelligence gathering that would do harm to United States allies.
Interesting defense: He can't do too much damage because he's a moron. I guess if you don't tell him anything, he can't leak it. So we're going to have an intelligence infrastructure and foreign policy run entirely by staff, with zero Presidential involvement.
