I can't really take anything seriously from Trump.  The stories of single page intelligence briefings littered with his name to keep his attention, the constant back-peddling his staff must to do keep up with his latest uninformed tweet or comment, the continual reminders about the election results and other ego massaging all lead me to believe that we cannot accept most of his brain droppings without lots of fact checking and verification.  As it is, no one has time to refute all of his statements.
