 During meetings with aides who are putting together formal briefings, some senior officials have at times gone to great lengths to curate the information being presented in an effort to avoid provoking a negative reaction. Quote, it's like you can't include that, that'll set him off. Or put that in, he likes that, one senior administration official said. Quote, it's a Rorschach test, not a briefing, because he is not a pleasant person to be around when he's being briefed. It's very difficult and people are scared spitless of him.
