Joe Biden said he doesn't believe Donald Trump should continue to receive the same classified intelligence briefings that are usually left for U.S. presidents after they leave office. During a CBS News interview, Biden was asked by reporter Norah O’Donnell if Trump should continue to have access to intelligence briefings. Biden responded:

Our generals know better than to let him play around with the important stuff.
“...but never anything specific.”
Not required. In 1971 Saul Alynski, a leftist “organizer” wrote his book Rules for Radicals which is that famous socialist bible playbook you’ve heard about. It has been the left’s active playbook since it’s publishing and has been utilized to break down opposition from large groups to single people.
An example is these rules that apply to your observation:
RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)
RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)
* RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
See the parallels? And the really telling part of this individual is that he dedicated this book to Satan. Three of his followers were Bill and Hilary Clinton and Barrack Obama. Hilary actually did her masters thesis on him and was collaborating with him when he died in 1972.
The Rules
“Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”
“Never go outside the expertise of your people.”
“Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy.”
“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
“A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”
“A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”
“Keep the pressure on.”
“The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. “
“The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”
“If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative.”
“The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. “

Trump is getting his intelligence briefings directly from military intelligence. In fact I would bet he just got one while ensconced in his SCIF at Mara-laga with his inner circle yesterday.
