Like this isnt just about a president who doesnt read, but a president who doesnt tend to, what george w. bush and im sure president obama thought was the grave est aspect of the presidency. >> its right. so, on those days when he didnt actually have a pdb session, we can assume he got no intelligence. thats very dangerous because on any given day the president can be talking to foreign leaders. hell be making decisions that affect national security. what pdb editors do is tee up in the book tha...

Im the son of a refugee who came from one of those broken places that the president would, in a modern day context r, woul have called a shithole. and this country opened arms to him. this is why i love our country so much. and the strength of our country is we are a beacon all over the world who aspire and want to make something of their lives. and they have come and generations of immigrants. because remember back then there was big resistance to the polls and italians and jews from eastern eu...

>> it says the president doesnt read and doesnt like to read, brags about the fact he never bought a textbook in college. if you try to give him too much information, he says, no, no, dont ask like a professor. you can hate barack obama or love him but he is a constitutional scholar. george w. bush and bill clinton were vor ricious readers. >> the president is a best selling author and reads. people get information in a different way. the richard branson is a reader of people. >> he is dyslexic....

Stating that i believe donald trump was not only a racist, but he identifies with white supremacists, because he does in fact hold white supremacist views. this is also very ignorant. but this is a subset of the american people that believe what donald trump believes in this moment. and thats dangerous. he strikes me as someone that doesnt read and hasnt been anywhere in these comments. there are folks i know that i asked about this. people that are affiliated with the white house and they noted...

Columnist for the daily beast and a big fan. christina, the mathematics. >> first of all, im very good at math. im proud to say that and this doesnt add up. legislation is a moral document. we know two things about this president. one, he doesnt read, and two, hes a liar. so we can look at this bill and know for a fact that millions upon millions of americans will be devastated by this. we know that members of congress are enriching themselves and their donors. we know many will take early retir...

Want to see -- ill let you respond to that. i wonder what you think. weve seen other presidents who waited a while to get their first briefing. but then its a daily thicng. if you talk to people in the intelligence community, they say this is essential. you just heard it from a former briefer. >> we know people who worked with trump over the years hes not an incredibly curious person, he doesnt read, et cetera, so im not surprised. it is disappointing since he said consistently during the campai...

Donald trump. hes an msnbc political analyst. jill, let me start with you, the idea that the president is getting ready to sit down with donald trump as early in the planning stages as that may be, first of all, would that be donald trump and his teams decision, and if so, what does that tell you? >> first of all, i think its interesting theyre saying its in its infancy in preparation and its short and informal, which is exactly what you would expect from a president who doesnt read and doesnt h...

Boxed in here. he couldnt say no to this invitation. >> there is no way president trump can be ready by may to have a high-stakes conversation on the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. kim jong-un will be fully prepared. >> its not like you have a president like eisenhower who was schooled on politics and the military. this president doesnt read and doesnt study and doesnt prepare. judge jeanine: the "new york times" said donald trump could be played by kim as a quote gold-plated violin. ...

Working environment. but, you know, i think whats happening, it was always odd, you know, gary cohn, he really didnt match the campaign that the president ran. tillerson was suggested to him by the foreign policy establishment that he derided as a candidate, and you always have the sense that they were there to mind the president. and he now is throwing that off and saying, i dont want that. i dont need people to tell me what to do. i dont want people to tell me what to do. and hes bringing in p...

By the foreign policy establishment that he derided as a candidate, and you always have the sense that they were there to mind the president. and he now is throwing that off and saying, i dont want that. i dont need people to tell me what to do. i dont want people to tell me what to do. and hes bringing in people who reflect his point of view and who will not challenge him. and that is concerning in a president who doesnt read, who gets a lot of his information from "fox & friends," and who oper...
