Trump at CIA.

To have

1. done that (essentially a politician's campaign speech, not a President's), and
2. done that there (Truly Hallowed Ground) without proper and effective acknowledgement of same, and
3. to have spent overwhelmingly more time talking about the press and his coverage than to their sacrifice, and
4. to conflate the military with CIA, and
5. to justify the Iraq War in economic terms while disagreeing with the political leadership, for the decision AND for not acting accordingly by extracting the natural resources of that nation, and
6. To have blamed that decision for the wealth that fuels modern terrorism, and
7. to do all this in the context given the incredible pushback he's put on the "intelligence" community?

"I'll be back." More to come.

I think he is coming completely unhinged.

Perhaps we can expect the 25th amendment to be invoked any second now.

Operators are not like the military. They go in without backup. No reinforcements will come save them. If killed, they cannot even acknowledge their name or mission.

What a low class piece of shit.

How come he's not smart enough to know when to shut up?
