President Trump tells US spy chiefs: 'Go back to school'

30 January 2019

President Donald Trump has described US intelligence agencies as "naive" and "wrong" in their assessment of the threat posed by Iran.

"Be careful of Iran. Perhaps Intelligence should go back to school!" Mr Trump tweeted.

The testy response comes after a US intelligence report said Iran was not making nuclear weapons.

It also said that North Korea remained "unlikely to give up" its weapons stockpiles and production abilities.

National intelligence director Dan Coats and other intelligence chiefs presented the Worldwide Threat Assessment report to the Senate on Tuesday.

The most willfully ignorant guy on the planet telling professionals like these to "go back to school"!

Keep insulting our intelligence services, Donnie. I guarantee it will come back to bite you in the butt.
