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?
