I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

So what's Trump gonna do, ignore the intelligence reports that he doesn't like? Or is he just going to randomly make policy with no regard to national security intelligence?
Maybe he's skeptical of intel because they might try to tell him that Russia actually annexed part of Ukraine's country even though he believes Russia won't invade Ukraine...
This could mean he's going to disregard any intel that he doesn't want to believe or that he's just gonna wing it and not rely on intelligence reports at all.
Either way the president can't effectively make decisions on issues like terror threats abroad and domestically or our involvement in armed conflicts and such.
Edit: sorry meant to add 'without relying on intelligence briefings' on the end there.
