Reminder that Trump famously doesn't take Daily Briefs (first term and now) and for a year with Gabbard, she was omitting huge swarths of info from what he did

  Its harder to ignore reality if you’re being explicitly told about it each day
  • mandeepj 1mo ago
    Alternate reality then?
  • cyberax 1mo ago
    No, it's not, if you just forget what you were told.

      TBH, that was probably Biden, and Reagan at least toward the end of his second term. There really should be an upper age limit on federal offices.

        TBH the president should primarily be relying on trusted, competent advisors that they’ve surrounded themselves with. They can’t possibly be experts in enough areas to make unilateral decisions. Which is probably why Biden didn’t attack Iran.

        You're idealising one government rule to stop other government stupidity. The fact is that enforcing that kind of thing is meant to be the electorate's job. Instead of howling these people out of office as the spent, bought-and-paid for geriatrics that they are, they keep electing them instead.

      Roy Cohen School of never hearing never believing anything you don't want to hear, making up what you want to believe in. And never ever ever reassessing or letting anyone else or any other fact impune on your perfect carefully maintained and manicured fantasy.

  he doesn't read, he's literally Biff from Back to the Future also Roy Cohn taught him reality doesn't matter, just make up any lie and repeat it to the very end until that's all people will respond to now he's surrounded by people that only tell him what he wants to hear like his "human printer" with $45,000 "xmas gifts" imagine if there was an actual attack now he'd invade Canada, seriously, wouldn't matter who did it, he'd make up a reason and repeat it constantly until it's the only talking point notice how we're not talking about the Epstein Files anymore? SOB changed the topic enough times to make it slide out of the news

    Trump is the undisputed champion of creating/influencing the narrative. The mainstream news these days (left and right-leaning) is really nothing more than an amplifier for his various social media accounts. There's so much scandal to this administration - from being named-checked throughout the Epstein files to the billions he and his family have made during this term, yet nothing happens. The media only talks about his latest, dumb-ass Tweets. Trump has tuned 'flood the zone' so well that he can literally do anything he wants without consequence.

  The CIA has considered Fox News style reports as a form of the daily brief that Trump might be able to understand.[1] Trump does get regular briefs several times a day, by Natalie Harp. Her job is to find flattering press reports, print them out for Trump, and hand them to him.[2] She has a backpack with a battery-powered printer for this when away from the White House.
