    Trump puts the "brief" back in briefings

    "Intelligence agencies told to keep Donald Trump’s briefings short and without nuance"

    The briefing given to the President covers no more than three topics, with about one page per issue. That is a quarter of what former President Barack Obama received and also less information than other predecessors.
    The guidance states that topics should be presented from one viewpoint in all briefings, which means the President is not presented with conflicting views from one day to the next.
    Guess they don't wanna confuse him?

    I don't see the problem here. I wouldn't care what Obama did. He was indecisive and incompetent.

    Yep - they are presented to Trump with the Angry Contingency viewpoint - Breitbart Steve and Angry Little Hitler Miller.

    Trump has even less intellectual curiosity than Dubya did.

    And this is why he didn't bother Googling "terrorist attack in Sweden" on Saturday before he shot his mouth off.

    At least he understood the issues and was well briefed on them.

    Probably spent less time watching TV too.

    He obvious incompetence demonstrated clearly that he did not understand the issues. Maybe he was given way too much nuanced information and he couldn't absorb it?

    Maybe he was in way over his head from the start and was overwhelmed and couldn't recover?

    Trump doesn't have a thing on Obama. There is no way to make a briefing more brief than to simply not attend.

    Obama skipped half of his briefings

    There is no lie too big - or too frequently repeated ^
