Dismisses daily intelligence briefings because “I’m, like, a smart person”

In an interview on *Fox News Sunday*, Trump defended his refusal to receive the daily presidential intelligence briefing, stating, “I’m, like, a smart person. I don’t have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years.” In the same interview, he dismissed the CIA’s assessment of Russian election interference as “ridiculous,” choosing to trust his own intuition over the U.S. intelligence community.
