Former CIA Director John Brennan slammed President Trump in a tweet Thursday, saying the president shows "qualities usually found in narcissistic, vengeful autocrats."

Brennan, a vocal critic of Trump, posted the comment shortly after joining Twitter on Thursday. He condemned Trump's tough stance against critics of his declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

"Trump Admin threat to retaliate against nations that exercise sovereign right in UN to oppose US position on Jerusalem is beyond outrageous," tweeted Brennan, who led the CIA under former President Obama.

"Shows @realDonaldTrump expects blind loyalty and subservience from everyone—qualities usually found in narcissistic, vengeful autocrats," he added.

1. That's because Dolt 45 IS a narcissistic, vengeful autocrat.

And he's also stupid and ignorant, so he's got that going for him.

2. CIA seems a bit slow on the uptake, we knew this a couple of years ago.

Adds nothing to our knowledge base.

7. He wasn't potus a couple of years ago, so no one gave a damn. We do now.

So thanks again Mr. Brennon. Hope he posts often. If nothing else, I'm sure it gets under Dotard's skin. I hope his head explodes.

8. He was running for office a couple of years ago. So we cared.

But interesting that the CIA is speaking out.
Odd things occurring.

3. So what else is new? Very nice to hear it from a former

CIA Head but I'd like to hear it from Pelosi, Schumer, Perez, etal.

4. I have been surprised by the number of people who held positions in

previous administrations who have come forward with criticism of Trump. Not just his policies, but being openly critical of Trump himself. Maybe I have just forgotten, but I just don't recall anything like this before.

5. I can't think of a better use of an inaugural tweet. Thank you Mr. Brennan. I look forward to

your sharing your opinions on potus on a regular basis.
