Reports also have it that the commander in chief doesn’t like to read long memos, which is why the normal memos nowadays in the White House must be no more than a single page. They must have bullet points but not more than nine per page too.
Small things can provide Trump great joy or generate intense irritation. In fact, Trump told The New York Times that he’s fascinated with the phone system inside the White House.
At the same time, he’s registered a complaint about the hand towels aboard Air Force One, the White House aide said, because they are not soft enough.
He has been particularly obsessed with the performance of his aides on cable television. Past presidents typically didn’t make time to watch their press secretary’s daily briefings with reporters, but Trump appears to have made it part of his routine.
Information about Trump’s personal interactions and the inner workings of his administration were leaked by individuals in executive agencies and in the White House itself. They spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of losing their jobs.
While some of the leaks are based on opposition to his policies, the travel ban on all refugees and on visitors from seven predominantly Muslim nations, many appear motivated by a belief that Trump’s words, deeds, and tweets pose a genuine threat.
