Our illiterate Dotard-in-Chief

For much of the past year, President Trump has declined to participate in a practice followed by the past seven of his predecessors: He rarely if ever reads the President’s Daily Brief, a document that lays out the most pressing information collected by U.S. intelligence agencies from hot spots around the world.

Trump has opted to rely on an oral briefing of select intelligence issues in the Oval Office rather than getting the full written document delivered to review separately each day, according to three people familiar with his briefings.

Reading the traditionally dense intelligence book is not Trump’s preferred “style of learning,” according to a person with knowledge of the situation...

Soon after Trump took office, analysts sought to tailor their intelligence sessions for a president with a famously short attention span, who is known for taking in much of his information from the conservative Fox News Channel.


https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...9ef_story.html

This follows a report the other day that 10 minutes into his daily intelligence briefing Trump tweeted out his "bombshell" tweet that followed a Fox & Friends story that falsely reported the details around a cherry-picked FBI staff text. It seems that Trump's most influential advisor is Steve Doocy of Fox & Friends.

We are well and truly doomed. The morons have taken over.
