What a piece of work. I wouldn't be surprised to see career intelligence officers resign en mass because of this insane man's deluded and self-serving denials. Think he'd like that?

(764 posts)I believe Trump will say he was just dising the intel officers for votes but he really loves them because they are the best.
I still think Trump is going to give up on his faithful followers and move toward the center this making the swamp in DC multi depth but still a swamp

(3,666 posts)Though it's hard to figure why Trump keeps disparaging the intelligence community, but here's a new hypothesis. He is trying to get all the career officers to resign en mass. That way he can replace all the career professionals with his hand picked goons. He's already decided to have his own security force to "augment" the Secret Service. Maybe he just wants all of his security forces to be loyal to him personally rather than to the Constitution or the Rule of Law.
