Trump versus the CIA
Dec 13^th, 2016 at 12:35am

It's been just over a month now and Trump's erratic and unpredictable personal style is already a well-worn cliche of the 'predictably predictable' kind...

He is establishing a cabinet of plutocrats and ex-Generals that make him comparable, not to US Presidents past, but more like a South American despot.

And now he's at odds with the CIA - An organisation that has acted for all his Presidential predecessors as the President's personal secret army.

Of course, it's too much of (yet another hilarious) irony for the average person to honestly 'go out in sympathy' for the CIA... But can a modern US President preside (or even politically survive) without its support?

Perhaps Trump wants to privatize the spook and black ops industry.

Your stupidity is truly remarkable. Is there a single aspect or attribute of Trump you will EVER criticise?

Because you bumbling fools, you would be an ignorant dope to simply ignore and write off their findings because you dont like them as Trump has done. Americas enemies are laughing out loud now as they have seen Trump declare he will only accept intel 'he agrees with'.

Because Trumps intel background is... using an Intel computer.
