Is this satire? No, really...is this satire?

29. Nothing. **IF** you have already read the daily briefings and know the material.

A short reminder is then a handy thing.

In Trump's case, the shorthand reminders - that often require, and often assume - you are familiar with the topic to begin with - is all Trump is absorbing. Which means a heading could read, "Europe. EU. Friends" and Trump go off on how Europe/EU is not our friends - because he didn't read the actual information and is pulling, instead, from his vast store of ignorance.

Trump's aides can't even get him to read his daily briefings or even short memos, so they have resorted to the one thing he does pay attention - a tweet. Singular, 140 characters, tweet-brief.

Can his aides explain the trade economics of Poland in a single tweet? Without ever assuming the reader knows any of the shorthand for trade agreements? or the history of Poland? or its relation to other countries? No, they can't.

So all Trump is getting is headings and talking points on subjects he doesn't fully know or fully understand.

And with Trump's hostility to to the fact of Russian intervention in our election, his only concern will be getting reassurances from Putin that he won all on his own, so even those tweet-briefs will fall on deaf ears.

I don't know about you, but I use bullet points as a reminder of important items and NOT as complete information on those important items. You don't really think Trump sees a bullet point and already understands everything about what is being said by the bullet point heading do you?
