"Officials put Trump's name in 'as many memo paragraphs as we can because he keeps reading if he's mentioned' [URL="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-intelligence-reports-white-house-read-them-mentioned-name-president-a7740726.html"]http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-intelligence-reports-white-house-read-them-mentioned-name-president-a7740726.html[/URL] [URL="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-trip-idUSKCN18D0C7"]http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-trip-idUSKCN18D0C7[/URL] Sorry I couldn't put the full title in the title bar, wouldn't fit and I didn't want to edit it. [QUOTE]Donald Trump can only stay focused on intelligence reports if his name is in them, according to officials close to him. Staff members are being forced to strategically include the President's name in the reports to ensure that he keeps reading and doesn't get distracted, they said. National Security Council officials make sure "as many paragraphs as we can because he keeps reading if he's mentioned", they told Reuters. The trick is part of a range of techniques developed by officials to keep Mr Trump's infamously short attention span focused on important information. Officials have also learnt to keep all reports to a single page, and to include as many pictures, maps, charts and graphs as possible. The President also likes to look at a map of wherever he is reading about, officials said. "He likes to visualize things," said a senior administration official. "The guy's a builder. He has spent his whole life looking at architectural renderings and floor plans." The details emerged as people close to the President worried that he may not be able to stick to the script and avoid more problems as he heads out on his first foreign trip. Officials are worried that Mr Trump's lack of focus and attention to detail could cause problems as he visits Arab leaders in Saudi Arabia, Israeli and Palestinian leaders in Israel and the West Bank, the pope at the Vatican, NATO leaders in Brussels and G7 counterparts in Sicily. One Republican official, who requested anonymity in order to speak freely, said after meeting Trump recently he did not think the president had a firm enough grasp on the nuances of the long-running Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "I don't think he understands it," said the official, adding that Mr Trump needed more detailed briefings before leaving on Friday. "I think it's a very difficult challenge and I hope he's going to talk to a lot of smart people."[/QUOTE] Yeah I know anonymous sources etc. etc.
Can this administration STOP making itself look like it's babysitting world's most pathetic manchild just for one bloody day? This is really reaching new levels of pathetic abnormaly fast.

I'll add both to OP.
Once some time has passed and we get documentaries/really detailed inside accounts of this administration it's gonna be totally off the wall.
I'd laugh if the reality of the situation wasn't so goddamn depressing.
It's like the greatness of US presidents varies wildly given time. You got first Washington, Madison, a group of cracks geniuses and then some pricks in between. Then came Roosevelt, then some pricks afterwards, then came FDR and Truman and Eisenhower which was like nailing 3 times a 6 in a dice. Yada yada yada, George W Bush and then Obama, a crack guy. And now you got This. Decades to come are scary, indeed.
I wouldn't be surprised at this point if they had to use a child's play mat and Hot Wheels cars to demonstrate planned special forces operations.

Then the strike team will drive two clicks north to the local mosque, *brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm*, where they will proceed to locate and eliminate the ISIS leader inside, *bang bang bang*. Any questions, sir?"
