The report is true (WaPo), but coming from a blogger, it is more cringe worthy. It's always fun fun fun to pick on The Dotard.

Breaking With Tradition, President Is Illiterate

Quote:
Donald Trump’s entire political life has been dominated by what the media love to refer to as his “breaking with tradition.” It’s a rather delicate way to describe his flouting of protocol and common decency through either Gaston-level hubris or sheer incompetence. He’s “broken tradition” by golfing instead of doing presidential community service on Martin Luther King Jr. Day; not hosting a state dinner; not having a press conference at the G20; not holding an Iftar dinner for Ramadan, tweeting, and eating his steak well done with ketchup, among other things.

Well now there’s another item to add to the list. A Washington Post article titled—you guessed it—“Breaking with tradition, Trump skips president’s written intelligence report and relies on oral briefings,” describes, well, just that. For much of his tenure as president, instead of reading through the fabled Presidential Daily Brief (PBD), which compiles information from U.S. intelligence agencies, Trump gets an “oral briefing of select intelligence issues.” To be fair, it’s very well known that Trump has a frighteningly small attention span and prefers a Baby Einstein approach to briefings, with “lots of graphics and maps.”
