Doesn't this Jerk realize that there are no Do-Overs when it comes to International Strategy? He fuckin stated that our entire CIA and Fed Agencies were incorrect in their analysis of Russia and our elections.

Donald Trump said on Saturday he believes Vladmir Putins denials of Russian involvement in the manipulation of the 2016 presidential election. However, he appeared to contradict himself on Sunday when he said he was with our agencies on the question of Russian interference.

As to whether I believe it or not, Im with our agencies, especially as currently constituted, Trump told a news conference in Vietnam. As currently led, by fine people, I believe very much in our intelligence agencies.
The presidents comments were criticised by senator John McCain who said in a tweet that there was nothing America First about taking the word of KGB colonel [Putin] over the US intelligence community.
Trump was also quickly countered by his own CIA chief, Mike Pompeo. A statement issued by the agency said: The director stands by and has always stood by the January 2017 intelligence community assessment entitled: Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections. The intelligence assessment with regard to Russian election meddling has not changed.
On Saturday Trump also launched a tirade against special counsel Robert Muellers investigation into possible collusion between his campaign and the Kremlin. The investigation could cost millions and millions of lives, Trump claimed, by hindering agreement with Moscow over conflicts in Syria and Ukraine and a looming confrontation with North Korea.

(14,040 posts)Dems run messaging about his cosy relationship with Putin, he can run ads saying the opposite and call Dems liars and media fake news. Its a nothing more than a marketing strategy that puts our nation in danger to stroke the future ego of a narcissist.
