Donald Trump needs to be more "scripted" — and the national security briefings that he is set to begin receiving this week will help in that effort, Rep. Sean Duffy said Tuesday.
"What he has to do is be more scripted and on page instead of off page," the Wisconsin Republican, who supports the presidential nominee, told Brianna Keilar on CNN.
Trump is scheduled to receive his first classified intelligence briefing on Wednesday. He is to be accompanied by two top advisers, retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a former Defense Intelligence Agency chief, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who heads Trump's White House transition team.
Duffy, 44, who was first elected to the House in 2012, said that the sessions would give Trump broader insight into "all the problems that we face in the world."
"Instead of having him walk away from some of his law-and-order rhetoric, I think it will make him tougher on the law-and-order rhetoric," he added. "Once he gets that briefing, I think it's going to confirm the fact that the world is ablaze.
Duffy said that the briefings would confirm to Trump that "the Clinton-Obama foreign policy strategy has been a disaster and we need strong leadership to address it."
