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 think it’s to show the fact that those people have got nothing that they asked for, the lying is not at all well-hidden, and yet they still support him with a fervor that is often not considered worth very much in polls and the like since 100% can be an indicator that the surveyed person didn’t really pit much thought into their response.

        100% of self-identifying MAGA supporting Trump still means mostly that those who don’t support him anymore no longer. Identify as MAGA.

          MAGA is the cult name, so yes that makes sense. Once you leave the cult the whole thing kinda falls apart. You can still be a piece of shit, but will at least not support Trump(the lowest bar and not deserving of much, if any, respect).

        They’ve got 52% of what they’ve asked for, and counting. Trump is delivering on his hateful, fascist agenda.
