Intel analysts instructed to limit briefings with Trump to under 140 characters
WASHINGTON — The military and intelligence communities have been instructed that national security briefings for President-elect Donald Trump are to be restricted to 140 characters or fewer, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The decision was made following a briefing on the progress in Mosul, Iraq, a source with the transition said.
“I know more about ISIS than the generals do. Believe me,” the source recounted Trump saying in a meeting with his staff. He added: "Folks, I don't read, OK? I don't read. Reading is for losers. I'm the President, OK? I'm very very busy. Nobody is busier than me. Nobody. Believe me. I need this in a format I can easily understand and ignore. Fix it."
