The President?
He would receive a security briefing each day of the most important stuff.
He may receive it but he’s as clueless about it as Bagdad Bob, probably more even a lot worse
He was told the truth in these matters by his intelligence directorate, all the iron clad assessments, satellite interp, open source(and closed) , internal docs, He in so many words said, I dont want to hear it. (Added: because it will prove I was wrong). So they were shown the door or showed themselves the door. He wants Yes Men. Well hes got them now.
