Is Trump getting briefings on the drones? ‘I don’t want to comment on that’

Donald Trump, a month away from being president again, is getting Top Secret intelligence briefings, so he would know whatever is known by the federal government about the, you know, the drones.

His answer to a direct question on that topic at a Monday presser, if he’s received a briefing specifically on the drones:

“I don’t want to comment on that.”

Meaning, yes, he has, and he knows – and he knows that there’s nothing to the drones.

But that didn’t stop the Conspiracy Theorist-in-Chief from whipping up the base.

“The government knows what is happening,” Trump said, in a wise-guy way of speaking. “Look, our military knows where they took off from. If it’s a garage, they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went. And for some reason, they don’t want to comment.”

So, Trump knows what the deal is – 99.999 percent that it’s nothing – but because he’s an inveterate ass, he’s playing it up like there’s some big government coverup going on.

“I think they’d be better off saying what it is our military knows and what our president knows, and for some reason, they want to keep people in suspense,” Trump said, pretending to ignore the obvious, that the Biden administration has said, repeatedly, that it’s nothing.

Problem being, you can’t tell people who have nothing better to do than scream at things in the sky that there’s nothing in the sky for them to scream at.

Donald Trump isn’t the smartest guy in the room, but he’s smart enough to know, don’t get in the way of people who just want to have fun being part of a mass hysteria.

“Something strange is going on,” Trump said on Monday. “For some reason, they don’t want to tell the people, and they should, because the people are really, I mean, they happen to be over Bedminster. We know that. We are very, they’re very close to Bedminster. I think maybe I won’t spend the weekend in Bedminster. I’ve decided to cancel my trip.”

This is the great tragedy of it all: that Trump won’t be able to spend the weekend at his New Jersey golf club.

As if he was really going to spend time in New Jersey in December, when he has a golf club in Florida.

Damn drones.
