Each president is different in the manner and pace at which they receive their briefings, and Trump is not entirely out of step with some of his predecessors.
But with Trump, there is added concern as he is known not to read the accompanying briefing document, referred to as “the book,” that is put together by intelligence analysts in a highly labor-intensive process. This document is delivered in hard copy or on a tablet device to the president and his key advisers five days a week.
More intelligence could do the guy some good. He can’t answer basic questions about things like his responsibility to abide by his sworn oath as well as how many signal leaks there have been at any given moment.
So approximately 1 per week. Seems reasonable enough.
They aren’t “daily intelligence briefings”, they’re “intelligence briefings”. Basically no president ever attended them daily.

And especially now where times are particularly quaint and idyllic there’s no reason for the guy not to enjoy spring time on his golf course.
