Looks like the federal government just fact-checked Trump.

[kpete]

During Sunday’s debate, Donald Trump once again said he doesn’t know whether Russia is trying to hack the U.S. election, despite Friday’s statement by the U.S. intelligence community pointing the finger at Putin — and despite the fact that Trump was personally briefed on Russia’s role in the hacks by U.S. officials.

A senior U.S. intelligence official assured NBC News that cybersecurity and the Russian government’s attempts to interfere in the 2016 election have been briefed to, and discussed extensively with, both parties’ candidates, surrogates and leadership, since mid-August. “To profess not to know at this point is willful misrepresentation,” said the official. “The intelligence community has walked a very thin line in not taking sides, but both candidates have all the information they need to be crystal clear.”

1. Perhaps DJT just forgot

[Moonwalk]

11. He didn't forget. He just wasn't listening. That briefing was sooo boring....!

They wouldn't let him tweet. They wouldn't let him take a break to snort coke. And they kept trying to tell him all this dull stuff rather than the important stuff like how to nuke Isis.

If they want him to pay attention, they should tell him the stuff he wants to hear, right?

[Amonester]

15. They don't know how to interest Don Caligula-wannabe dRumpf.

Or they don't have good-looking (enough) women to brief herr Majesty.

[klook]

14. He doesn't have the stamina to keep up.

"The stamina."

[malaise]

2. Oh My

He really is unfit to lead

[lindysalsagal]

3. Seriously, he can't retain anything. So he makes everything up as he goes along,

and then believes his own imagination. "The world, according to me."

Then when his veracity is threatened, he's completely enraged, because he knows this is his ultimate weakness:

He can't remember shit.

It's classic faker behavior. Most bullies threaten their victims so their coping mechanisms won't be challenged or revealed.

It's Archie Bunkerism, on a nuclear scale. Or, a severe case of childish refusal to admit failure.

[Beartracks]

21. Can't remember shit. Doesn't think he needs to.

Remember when Dubya said, "Presidentin' is hard work." (I don't recall if that's a verbatim quote or not.)

Well, Trump's position seems to be, "Presidentin' isn't important." He just wants to run things, be the boss. You know in the corporate private sector when they say, "This is not a democracy"? Trump is the ultimate "private sector" corporate guy.

The catastrophic inconsistency of his business career is the result of the very same traits we see in him now as a Presidential candidate. I see no indication he will "run" the country any different than he's "run" his businesses: into the ground.

4. He one time said he had the best memory

and in a later interview, forgot he said that.

[anamandujano]

28. ROFL!

Funny and sad at the same time.

[Lucinda]

5. KNR Thankie!

[procon]

6. If elected, Trump would be far worst than Bush at manipulating intel for his own benefit. nt

[Ruby the Liberal]

7. Manipulating or being manipulated?

I don't think Bush was smart enough to pull the shit he did, and Trump is narcissistic enough to fall for anything artfully 'presented' to him as being his own idea.

[Amonester]

17. What's already scary is what could putinkim & co plot...

as they watch their "investments" going down the decadent drain...

18. He is a combination of the worst of both Bush & Cheney

Bush:
He not only doesn't know much about the world he doesn't seem even interested in learning. Has no problem lying.

Cheney:
Enthusiastically willing to bomb torture and all things in the dark side. Has no problem lying.

[world wide wally]

8. Face it. Trump is working for the Russians

Sorry, Trumpbaggers, but James Bond is going to be pissed!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

9. Willful expression of ignorance for his Putin-Poo.

[lunatica]

10. When Bush asked, "Do you miss me yet?" I never dreamed

the day would come when someone far, far, far, far, worse would be here.

[BumRushDaShow]

20. OMG I was thinking the exact same thing!

[xocet]

24. Just wait for the next one - the GOP's trajectory is approx.: Quayle -> W -> Palin -> Trump -> ...??

n/t

[Achilleaze]

12. Republican role model Comrade Trump = "...willful misrepresentation"

This is the very best the Republicans have to offer to America? Sick.

[TeamPooka]

13. Will any reporter ask Trump about this?

[R B Garr]

16. "To profess not to know at this point is willful misrepresentation,"

Uh oh, sounds like people have caught on to him. Everything about Donald is "willful misrepresentation." He's just a con man.

[Ilsa]

19. Holt just reported this on NBC Nightly News.

Reported what drumfp was claiming and declaring it untrue, that US Intell told him that parties in Russia are hacking us.

Drumfp likes to lie for his friends and those who own his debt.

[NastyRiffraff]

22. This is VERY serious

Intel briefings are given to both major candidates, not because the intelligence community WANTS to give them, but because they must. It's information anyone with a chance to win the presidency MUST know.

But Trump couldn't bother listening. Or the information flew in one ear, buzzed around the empty space for a moment, and flew out the other ear.

And forget about the "great people, smart people" Trump says he'll hire. He listens to no one. The thought of this clown getting nuclear codes is truly terrifying.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

26. Huge ego, poor attention span and impulsive ideas.

What could go wrong if there's a conflict around the world involving another nuclear power?

23. K&R nt

[benld74]

25. He must be waiting for Putin to tell him

[yallerdawg]

27. Trump is a proven, habitual liar.

Anyone who supports and votes for him is just as stupid and ignorant as he is.

Fortunately, it is a minority of people who live in our country.
