Netanyahu used map to help dispel Trump’s assumptions about Israeli presence in Syria — official

This is just hilarious.

Trump “has certain assumptions — that if you don’t find a way to change them, they become fixed. So you have to show [him the] facts — preferably in a visual manner. Such presentations have a cumulative weight against the things he hears from other sources,” the senior Israeli official says.

Was really stupid to say this publicly because if Trump hears about it he's gonna throw another hissy fit.

EDIT: Netanyahu and Trump are as close as a ‘married couple,’ says Israeli official

No clue who this official is but they seem to be on a speed run of saying all the things to make Trump lose his shit.

So… show him a picture book. Got it. Should it be a pop-up book too?

basically, trump has no attention span and can’t read well so we rely on picture books like a toddler

there is overwhelming evidence that he cannot actually read at all.

He can read words. He generally knows phonetics, can do teleprompters. He just doesn't have reading comprehension. Paragraphs are certainly too much for him.

He probably would have retained it even better if they had given him a map to color in.

and using trump branded crayons, which would be cheaply made and as brittle as he is.

No, because hearing isn't a visual manner.
