Trump doesn't like reading--likes to see a lot of pictures...

REMNICK: It sounds like you’re being a little bit polite. What previous Presidents did, in one way or another, was read a tremendous amount the night before and then get a brief from the director of National Intelligence. And he has no patience for that, from what I understand. He has no patience for reading briefing books, and he has to see a lot of pictures, a lot of video, a lot of charts.

HABERMAN: He likes a lot of charts. He likes looking at things.

That was his flunkies teaching him about interacting with people. If they wear your hat, they like you. Be sure to clap.

So why not have Fox do the briefings?
He only seems to believe what he sees on there anyway.
