WASHINGTON — Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video update for President Donald Trump that shows video of the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, three current U.S. officials and a former U.S. official said.
The daily montage typically runs for about two minutes, sometimes longer, the officials said. One described each daily video as a series of clips of “stuff blowing up.”

Overall, the official said, the information Trump gets about the war tends to emphasize U.S. successes, with comparatively little detail about Iranian actions.
One example came this month when five U.S. Air Force refueling planes were hit in an Iranian strike at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, according to one of the current U.S. officials. Trump wasn’t briefed about the strikes, and he learned what had happened from media reports, the official said. When Trump inquired, he was told the planes weren’t badly damaged, the official said.
The official said Trump reacted angrily behind the scenes to the news coverage. Publicly he posted on Truth Social calling coverage of the strike misleading and accusing media organizations of wanting the U.S. “to lose the War.”
Lol they let him get unliftered news. Idiots.
Counterpoint: He's just there to do propaganda and manipulate markets. The military doesn't really want him to know anything, because he can't help but reveal anything he's told
I fully believe that whole "Our cases would be lower if we stopped testing" comment from 2020 was after someone told him that was the plan, with the intention that it be hush-hush, but then he said it out loud, publicly.
agree because there is no way he could have come up with that by himself
It would be hard to stop him from watching TV. That's like his favorite thing, I think even more than golf.
If I was one of trump's advisors/handlers I would hire a small team of nazis to AI generate news per my requirements. And hire 1-2 to make sure his phone/vpn/wifi would redirect queries as needed to my version of the internet. Same as normal internet but with certain things replaced.
Don't these people even know how to do 21st century palace intrigue.
