I'm, like. A real. Smart dog. And a goodboy! Nice story in the Washington Post today that just confirms what we already knew, only in a bit more detail of the sort designed to leave your jaw dropped and your mind reeling: Donald Trump doesn't read his Presidential Daily Breifings (PDB), the digest of top-secret stuff the intelligence community prepares for every president to inform them of what's up in the world's hot spots, with the aim of making sure that in a crisis, the president has accumulated some knowledge of stuff that might be useful. Hey, not his style. Donald Trump doesn't read, and if Michael Wolff's book
I have to take notes even though I often miss things which is annoying. I need to do something kinetic or else I can't focus and note-taking is the least distracting. As with planners and calenders and agendas, no one technique suits everyone.
They had the same problem with Ronnie Raygun. By all accounts he had only nominal understanding of what was being told to him and would become visibly upset if forced to make a decision.He preferred to read his fan mail instead.Nixon reportedly preferred oral too, especially from Henry Kissinger....well thanks for putting that image in my head.
Oh, for Christ's sake. In the same vein as "there's always a tweet," there's also always a stupid quote. He straight said that for EIGHT YEARS - could be 8! - he was too durned smart to be told the same thing over & over, EVERY EXHAUSTING DAY, just tell him when there's maybe some change or something! So really, they can save their breath, although it's far too late for their credibility. This is also the pinhead who REGULARLY torches things like key GOP initiatives with unfortunately timed tweets.
“But a military parade in Washington would likely be perceived as a more timely political message from a single individual to the nation and, indeed, to the world, along the lines of: Look at how strong we (and I) are.”

Take up origami. I have the same exact problem and it's been a tremendous help.

And I with you, who quotes the Simpsons, the Stooges and Cartman. And Bugs Bunny.
I get the same reaction. Precious few get the reference.
A wise guy, eh?
Projection without blinking.
Trumpians are that.

I wouldn't have picked out Nixon to be the previous non-reader - that seemed more Reaganesque to me. Live and learn.
