Very very late to the realization that national security should have been a top priority.

Fighting with FNC, snubbing Great Britain, and other European leaders was a devastating mistake in judgement.

For the first three days, he delegated public statements to subordinates before giving a statement Monday.

...as he's been known to do...he called it in. The fact that he's going public may be an indication that the intelligence people finally convinced the boy wonder,that HE'S ON THE HOOK FOR THIS......AND ALL THAT'S COMING DOWN THE PIKE!

And it could happen again tomorrow. Nothing has changed, except they may have a better idea of how to ignite the bomb.
