His attention span is short. His memory is limited to a goldfish timeline. In other circumstances, one might pity him. But ....

This reminds me in so many ways of Being There, except that Peter Sellers was benign and interpreted all conversations in terms of shrubbery, whereas Trump is malign and sees the world in terms of ratings.

Pathetic, they are treating him like the toddler he is.

EXCLUSIVE
NATO Frantically Tries to Trump-Proof President’s First Visit
A ‘freaked-out’ NATO braces for Donald Trump’s first meeting of the transatlantic alliance.
BY ROBBIE GRAMER MAY 15, 2017

NATO is scrambling to tailor its upcoming meeting to avoid taxing President Donald Trump’s notoriously short attention span. The alliance is telling heads of state to limit talks to two to four minutes at a time during the discussion, several sources inside NATO and former senior U.S. officials tell Foreign Policy. And the alliance scrapped plans to publish the traditional full post-meeting statement meant to crystallize NATO’s latest strategic stance.

On May 25, NATO will host the heads of state of all 28 member countries in what will be Trump’s first face-to-face summit with an alliance he bashed repeatedly while running for president. NATO traditionally organizes a meeting within the first few months of a new U.S. president’s term, but Trump has the alliance more on edge than any previous newcomer, forcing organizers to look for ways to make the staid affair more engaging.
