President Donald Trump’s intelligence chief is exploring ways to revamp his routine intelligence briefing in order to build his trust in the material and make it more aligned with how he likes to consume information, according to five people with direct knowledge of the discussions.
As part of that effort, National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard has solicited ideas from current and former intelligence officials about steps she could take to tailor the briefing, known as the President’s Daily Brief, or PDB, to Trump’s policy interests and habits.
One idea that’s been discussed is possibly creating a video version of the PDB that’s made to look and feel like a Fox News broadcast, four of the people with direct knowledge of the discussions said.

So in other words, Trump is so obtuse the PDB cannot be given to him in written form or apparently in person. So to keep his interest Gabbard now wants to give it to him in the form of a FOX News broadcast. Even Joe Biden had enough wits about him where there was no discussion of dumbing down his PDB.
I guess if that does not work Gabbard can try cartoons or comics. How about using Elmer Fudd to explain intelligence matters:

Gabbard considering ways to revamp Trump's intelligence briefing
One idea is to make the briefing, which according to his schedule Trump has been taking less often than his predecessors, a video that looks like Fox News.
