Trump Getting Relentlessly Spanked For CIA's Wall Of Stars Disrespect

CNN and MSNBC are RELENTLESS. I think he screwed the pooch doing that.

For clarity- he gave an unhinged speech at the CIA headquarters in front of the CIA Wall of Stars... which commemorates fallen CIA officers. It's their equivalent of Arlington. Many of the fallen can't be acknowledged publically because they worked under cover.

He gave a passing, flip mention of the heroes on the wall then delivered a political speech and then gas-lighted the CIA and said he had no beef with them... it was all manufactured by the press.

to the CIA...I mean this is comical. He is lying about his crowd size to the CIA..I guess they aren't capable of checking out Trashpot's "facts"....I guarantee those agents are thinking this is the biggest asshole in the world and he is our boss. I really can't imagine he will be in office for long.

who died in the line of duty. Because what they do is often out of sight, it's extremely sacred and important.

To do a political speech filled with invective to the press and to say he has no beef w/the CIA in front of that wall was like spitting in the CIA's face.

He is trying to convince people that his following is larger than it is. Much like W acted like he had a mandate.

The President did take a moment to acknowledge the memorial behind him, saying, "The wall behind me is very, very special."

Apparently, other pols make presentations in the lobby, showing respect for that wall.

Whoever put him there (or acquiesced to his demand to be in front of their most important space) may have expected him to be himself and seal his doom with the most powerful staff who, like Brennan, already hate him.

Getting the press on their side is a pretty neat trick, if that was the intent of that placement.

He could get people killed and not even in a sinister dick Cheney evil get Wilson Valerie Plame way
Just his sheer stupidity . I came back home today and although feeling a great day I see this news and the spice truth ministry presser and it's back to thinking wtf!

...how very very much he loves them with a smoochy-face, that they did not hear him say what they heard him say. I wonder: Is that the kind of gaslighting he uses on his women after he smacks them across the face? I wuv you; I would never hit you.
