I know this is meant to feed into the whole ‘Trump is an idiot’ meme but is it really that unusual? My CEO doesn’t have the time to read a half dozen 100 page reports - he wants a two-page memo; he doesn’t want a 200 slide deck, he wants me to report the essentials on a couple of slides. Key points, summaries, icons, top-line and bottom-line numbers - seems pretty normal for briefing someone with a lot on their plate.
- phito 8y agoYeah pretty sure it's used all the time. You don't need to make up things to point his stupidity. It just makes things worse.
- bildung 8y agoI think it is unusual for meeting of what are supposed to be equally qualified people, e.g. your CEO meets with another CEO and gets such a memo from them, not from their employees.

- smadge 8y agoI feel like my expectations for a president have been unrealistically set by the TV show the West Wing where president Bartlett is often staying up until 3am reading hundreds of pages of policy reports, not getting into Twitter fueds and refusing to read anything handed to him.

- timrichard 8y ago> The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Juncker relied on more than a dozen of the cards while explaining trade topics to Trump The article wasn't too clear on whether the flashcards were for Juncker's benefit or Trump's. The Serially Sedated or the Conceptually Challenged. Yay, politicians.
- knbknb 8y agoI don't think Juncker has ever used such cards anytime when me works in Brussels or elsewhere in Europe.
