Ok a 50 page memo? That’s pretty friggin long. Depends how many of those you get a day.

But:

I summed up this highly classified memo into Trump’s sort of bombastic language because it was the only way he was gonna understand," Taylor added. “I mean, I literally said in there, ‘You know, if we leave Afghanistan too fast, the terrorists will call us losers. But if we wanna be seen as winners, we need to make sure the Afghan forces have the strength to push back against these criminals.’ I mean, it was that dumb and that’s how you had to talk to him.”

Great point. It takes a lot of skill to succinctly summarise some dense material for someone who juggles lots of things. Frankly I think we need more of that in the modern world - there is so much information out there! But the killer is that “bombastic language” and false dichotomy. Making things easier to understand - clarity - is important. This good versus evil bullshit is just wrong; unfortunately stuff isn’t that easy.
