They think their job is to reinforce Trump's preconceived notions.

And today, there was new reporting from NBC News detailing how White House advisers managed Trump's delicate information bubble, briefing him about the war.

Here's what it says, quote, 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.

And that's according to three current U.S.

officials and one former official who spoke to NBC News.

The daily montage typically runs for about two minutes, sometimes longer.

One official described each daily video as a series of clips of stuff blowing up.

Stuff blowing, blowing up.

So just to put a fine point on this, Trump's national security advisor's approach to briefing the president on this war is basically the same way a busy parent might approach entertaining a cranky little toddler.

Just give the baby an iPad with lots of flashing lights and big booms and hope it keeps his attention.

Now, this is especially galling, given the Presidential Daily Briefing, or the PDB, is typically, under every other president, the time when they are presented with nonpolitical, unbiased intelligence information that is put together overnight by a team of experts from across the government.

Literally, the best in the government are assigned to put this together.

And it is typically a time when the president can press his top advisers on his national security team, including about the most difficult global issues of the day, like, say, a war he may have started.

That is clearly not happening here.

Now, NBC News notes that this daily highlight reel isn't the only briefing Trump gets about the war, okay?

But we also know that getting Trump to actually absorb and comprehend critical intelligence has been a longstanding challenge for almost a decade now.

This is not a new thing.

I mean, in his first administration, Trump regularly skipped his daily intelligence briefing, one of the most important updates, of course, a president receives each day.
