Donald Trump is briefed by the FBI, CIA, NSA, DHS, DIA and every other intelligence and law enforcement agency in government. There are several prominent threats he is informed and cautioned over. QAnon is certainly one of them.
One aspect of his feigned ignorance that galls me is no one points out he must be either skipping or ignoring intel from all these agencies. And whichever it is, the very danger his feigned, or real, ignorance of all these threats represent.
Not knowing, or pretending to not knowing, can be as dangerous as the threats themselves.

Jesus Christ. The only things he actually does know anything about are the things he claims he doesn’t. It doesn’t matter how ridiculous they are, if they like him, end of story. If flesh-eating bacteria said he was the greatest president in history he would refuse to denounce them, then halfheartedly denounce them four days later after everyone he trusted said Jesus Christ just denounce them, and then he’d go back and forth and deflect and bluster this way for weeks afterward. It’s an unvarying stimulus-response pattern with this broken-brained walking embodiment of malignant narcissism.

Why the hell doesn’t a journo ask him how it is threats his intel agencies testify are very real are nevertheless threats he apparently isn’t briefed about? Has anyone ever asked John Ratcliff how Trump can claim to be ignorant of threats that everyone else in government is aware of and taking steps to suppress or control?

Russian bounties come to mind. That whole effort to cover up for his nonsensical professions of ignorance were absolutely disgraceful. He really does corrupt everything around him eventually.

Trump: “I don’t know who QAnon is. Did he get me coffee one time or something?”

There was a Frontline program last night about Biden and Trump that you might like to go back and watch. They covered some of the reasons behind the behavior patterns you and others have picked up on.

Sounds good, Frontline always does an excellent job.

Trumps answer on QAnon is like when Jefferson Beauregard Sessions was asked about the Klan. He was ok with them until he found out that they smoked weed but still gave them a wink and nod.

After January 20 Donald will have as his next job (before going to the big house) a role in a revival of Hogan’s Heroes - Sgt. Schultz (“I know nothing!”).

Maybe a little OT: Doesn’t QAnon look like the most successful Russian disinformation operation?

I guess Spanky should start paying attention to his intel briefings. Maybe then he would be aware of people who are considered a threat to national security not that is something a president need to know. Oh wait!

Pausing just a moment… and stepping back to take a nearly 60-70 year look into Trump’s past… and wondering …
What sort of Hannibal Lecter level mind manipulation did Roy Cohn perform on Donald ?
How do you take an utterly impossible know-all who will never STFU … ever … and … would argue that he knows more about anything than anybody … even the person who invented it … Trump spews stuff about stuff he knows nothing about like dogs chase cars… or hump legs… So …what sort of diabolical mind altering torture must have gone on to install this disciplined “oh gee I just don’t know nothing about that” for critical items … ?
Cmon Donald … tell us how the nasty man altered your brain…
