YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWords are hard. CIA Director Mike Pompeo explained how President Trump likes more pictures and less words for his intelligence briefings. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Donald Trump likes his daily intelligence briefings to be short and with "killer graphics," The Washington Post reported on Monday.
"That's our task, right? To deliver the material in a way that he can best understand the information we're trying to communicate," CIA Director Mike Pompeo told The Post, adding that Trump frequently stops briefings to ask questions and likes to look over graphics such as maps and charts.
According to The Post, Trump receives his daily intelligence briefings over a glass of Diet Coke at about 10:30 a.m. While intelligence analysts present the information, Trump insists that top appointees such as Pompeo and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats be present.
"I like bullets, or I like as little as possible," Trump told the news website Axios before his inauguration in January. "I don't need, you know, 200-page reports on something that can be handled on a page.””*
