Here’s a tidbit from the AP about how President Trump might “seize the reins” of the intelligence community:
Officials have expressed an interest in having more raw intelligence sent to the president for his daily briefings instead of an analysis of information compiled by the agencies, according to current and former U.S. officials. The change would have given his White House advisers more control about the assessments given to him and sidelined some of the conclusions made by intelligence professionals.
Trump seems like the kind of guy who could do his own analysis of raw intelligence. They should give it a try. What could go wrong?
