You know who has real power in America? It ain’t the president. It’s the person who reads to the president.

Trump, unlike every other president since Gerald R Ford, does not read his Daily Intelligence Briefing.  Instead, he wants it explained to him.  Do you know the last president who did not read Daily Intelligence briefings? Richard Nixon.

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.

Honestly, I don’t fret over Trump not having diddle squat reading comprehension.  What I worry about is the fact that we don’t have anybody who can tell the damn truth anydamnwhere in the damn White House.

John Kelly?  Nope. Not that guy. Hope Hicks? Oh, sure.

Aides say Trump receives his in-person intelligence briefing nearly every day, although his publicly released schedules indicate that the sessions have been taking place about every two to three days on average in recent months, typically around 11 a.m.

Yeah, they have to wait until Fox and Fools is over.

Are we great again yet?
