President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday that after receiving briefings on global threats, he realized that he has “got to get it right.”
“I’ve had a lot of briefings that are very … I don’t want to say ‘scary,’ because I’ll solve the problems,” Trump said in an interview with Axios, Politico co-founder Mike Allen’s new venture.
He said that the United States has “some big enemies” and “some very big enemies,” and appeared to acknowledge the gravity of the decisions he will make as president.
“You also realize that you’ve got to get it right because a mistake would be very, very costly in so many different ways,” Trump told Axios.
Despite that apparent revelation, the President-elect specified that he prefers his briefings to come in listicle form.
“I like bullets or I like as little as possible,” Trump told Axios. “I don’t need, you know, 200-page reports on something that can be handled on a page. That I can tell you.”
