Trump prefers oral report to reading daily intel briefing: report
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 02/09/18 10:28 AM EST

President Trump is declining to read his daily brief and is instead having officials orally brief him on certain issues, The Washington Post reported Friday.

Trump is breaking with precedent set by seven past presidents in choosing to rarely read the President's Daily Brief (PDB), which includes what officials have deemed to be the most important U.S. intelligence from hot spots around the globe.

Reading the report is not Trump’s chosen “style of learning,” one source told the Post.

Administration officials told the Post that Trump still receives full briefings and that different presidents get the intelligence in different ways.

I understand why he wouldn't want to read it.  They say some of the things in PDB really blows your hair back.

They said it breaks precedent. I think that was a Clinton 1st who liked it oral in the oval office.

Man trump just lives in your head doesn't he.  You're worse the Rosie or Whoopie.  All you think about is him.   Heck I bet you'd live inside his underwear if you could.

Imagine the nerve of posting a comment related to Trump on a Trump thread.  Weird.

As far as his drawers go, I'd never be able to pry it out of your hands.  You'd cling to it and follow it to your doom like Gollum.

Punch yourself, Larry.......

It depends on your actual head shape underneath.  When we walked out of the barber at basic, you're essentially bald.  It's not a good look for everyone.  Certainly wasn't for me.

Trump's hair is its own entity, but his combover still doesn't beat Big Ernie McCracken.

People have different ways of absorbing information.  Some people remember everything they hear and some people absorb what they read better.

This story is just another lame attempt to make Trump appear stupid which he obviously isn't.

Actually he does look better.  He looks tougher, handsomer and more distinguished.

But, at age 70, a lot of people are stuck with their old styles.

A lot of women stick with an old hairstyle when they would look younger and better with an updated one.

Wouldn't it be fun if he did shave it all off though?  I'd love it.

Did he go by swear or Phil?   :cool:

New kid in school when I was 15 was kind of quiet and kept to himself for a few days.  Finally introduced himself during a pickup game of basketball by saying, “Yo, my name’s Dave ‘n shit.”

We never let him live that down.
