The White House might change how President Trump gets his daily intelligence briefings. Tulsi Gabbard, who is working on this, wants to make the briefings look like a TV broadcast. The reason is that Trump doesn't like reading, as per the report by NBC News spoke to five people who know about the plan. One of the ideas is to hire a Fox News producer to help design the briefings. These new briefings might include maps, animations, and even exploding bombs to grab attention. Right now, the daily briefing is a digital document with text, some graphics, and has only read the briefing 14 times since becoming president, that's less than once a week. Past presidents used to read briefings much more often. 'The problem with Trump is that he doesn't read. He's on broadcast all the time', according to an NBC News report. Gabbard thinks Trump's habit of watching TV and not trusting intelligent people might be why he needs a different also said that even if the style of the briefing changes, the actual intelligence info will stay the same. When asked for a comment, Olivia Coleman, press secretary for the Director of National Intelligence, denied the whole thing. She said, 'This so-called reporting is laughable, absurd and flat-out false.'She also said NBC is sharing "another false story based on unnamed sources." Back in Trump's first term, the briefings were already changed to have fewer words and more images. Now, Gabbard is discussing even more changes, including some unusual ideas, as per the report by NBC House spokesperson Davis Ingle said Trump has a top intelligence team and gets live updates all the time. He also said that Trump's top priority is keeping Americans safe and secure, as per reports say he doesn't like to read long only the way it's shown might change, not the actual info.
