I wonder what it is like when Intelligence officals brief Trump?

Does he call them liars?
Does he ignore them?
Does he debate and argue with them?
Does he tell them that they are stupid?
Does he show up for the meetings?
Does he try to present his "truth" to them while denouncing theirs?

I imagine he insults them and tells them what he saw on Fox.

Listen folks, I know more than the Generals and if I know more than the Generals I certainly know more did you see how many people attended my inauguration? Millions more than Obama who you know was born outside of the States in one of those countries there are many countries in the world so many more than I even knew and I'm smart I could out test that guy who what's his name called me a Fucking Moron not a chance he would have the Mexicans pay for the wall but I will have the Chinamen pay for it even if the Stupid US of A got screwed by the currency its not their fault it's America's fault for be so stupid. Ok see you tomorrow. Good briefing. But I knew it already. I have my sources right Sean?

Simple words and big pictures.
Something a seven year old would understand.
Bonus points if they cater to Trump’s vanity.

And be sure to tell him how wonderful and powerful he is. Plus, they need to keep the briefings under 15 minutes, and that's really stretching his attention span.
