    If you are running for POTUS you should be able to effectively skim things like this. If 50 pages is “too long” for you then you lack the skills needed to do the job properly. Trump lacked those skills

      What is the point of a 50 Page Memo that you just skim through, easily overlooking stuff, instead of having a 5 page comprehensive summary?

      Any good leader needs to delegate things. If he cant trust people with making summarys and understand these, instead relying on his quick-read-hopefully-not-overlook-something skills, then that is terrible for the country.

      Also again, giving your boss something to read expecting he only reads a quarter of, is both a failure of your boss and you, as you are wasting each others time this way.

      Ibdon’t doubt that stuff had tobbe dumped down forbTrump, but amount of pages is not a good metric and the more pages a memo has, the more it gets questionable if it is an appropriate mean of communication

        If they give memos like that to any other president, I would assume it has merit.
