Sad, but important to say things like, “the President has to read the briefing book.” First G.W. Bush, now Trump. The idea that the “briefing” book is too much, drives me crazy. It’s not even the whole report. It’s a briefing, for heaven’s sake. Read & study it. #HarrisTownHall
President Obama reportedly read in detail, wrote questions & observations in the margins, asked for addl info. Like an intelligent person who takes seriously making decisions that will impact millions of ppl. “Bush didn’t like to read the book.” “Trump likes pictures.” Come. On.
This should be a debate question for every presidential candidate: “if you are elected will you commit right now to read and study the briefing books on policy, law & other critical subject matter provided by your advisors.” The bar is that low.
