it is almost certain that Trump never even saw the intelligence.

it is also almost certain that Bannon or Stephen Miller or whoever his Trump's Russian handler -- wildly thought to be Melania until he got elected -- is also telling him what to think.

given that it is reported he literally has off the record calls with Putin, it is entirely possible that his handler is literally Putin himself at this point

While my explanation requires just one idiot who likes to disregard input. Which is self-evidently true.
