Trump spent most national security meetings calling his predecessors 'idiots' and claiming credit for things he didn't do, book saysThe top Russia expert from the Trump White House said in her new book that former President Donald Trump spent most national security meetings complaining and calling his predecessors "idiots."
That's according to "There Is Nothing For You Here: Finding Opportunity in the 21st Century," by Fiona Hill.
Hill served as an intelligence analyst from 2006 to 2009, under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. In 2017, she was appointed deputy assistant to the president and senior director for European and Russian affairs on the National Security Council under Trump.
"I soon would have the opportunity to observe firsthand - over and over again - that Trump was far more interested in seizing the opportunity to claim credit and say he had done 'amazing things' for people, things that 'nobody had ever done before,' than in engaging in the hard work necessary for real accomplishments," she writes in her memoir.

My point is while I am glad all this truth is coming out, it will make zero difference. VERY bad days ahead.

Seems like he hasn't matured at all since 1996.

(3,728 posts)remember when he was a sitting president he indicated how he couldn't be bothered to attend those daily meetings, because effectively was bored by them.
And the comment drifted on by with barely any attention. And if Obama had dared to say something like that, we'd STILL be hearing about it.
