My theory about why Trump ignores the Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB)... [View all]

1. Each briefing contains the latest information about the hacked election;
2. Trump suffers from malignant narcissistic personality disorder;
3. Each briefing informs Trump that he did not win the election based on his on talent;
4. Each briefing is a narcissistic injury which causes shame;
5. Narcissists ignore information that contradict their imagined reality;
5. He ignores the PDB, because it pierces a hole in his world view, and makes him look like a loser.
6. He will never participate in the PDB as long as it contains information about the Russians hacking the election.

That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it. Thoughts?
