There is a similarity between the tactics of Donald Trump and the late Senator Joe McCarthy.  Donald Trump  cannot seem to win even when he wins. If he is ignoring these briefings he is not preparing himself for this office because he will not be familiar with the incremental events and history that lead to a particular crisis and therefore he is a prime candidate to do the bidding of others using a "false flag" strategy to entice him to lash out at the apparent (and wrong) enemy,. The test will come when the first  property with his name on it is reduced to rubble.
