The information the president receives tends to emphasize U.S. successes, with little detail about Iranian actions, one official said.

Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video update for 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.”

The highlight reel of U.S. Central Command bombing Iranian equipment and military sites isn’t the only briefing Trump gets about the war. He’s also updated through conversations with top military and intelligence advisers, foreign leaders and news reports, the officials said.

    I wonder when the rest of the world gonna get tired of his bullshit and do something about it instead of just treating him like an unstable drunk uncle.

    At this point I have no confidence my fellow Americans will ever do something about it. I feel like most of us are just trying to wait him out and I’m not sure that plan will work.
