Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump chastised his own intelligence officials Wednesday morning for being soft on Iran a day after they contradicted numerous administration claims of foreign policy success.

On Tuesday, the nation's top intelligence official, who was appointed by Trump, told Senate lawmakers that the US intelligence community does not believe Iran is currently undertaking "key activities" needed to produce a nuclear bomb -- an assessment at odds with longtime administration claims that Iran is an immediate nuclear threat.

As the intel chiefs testified, ISIS is not gone & will be back. Trump (Lt. Bone Spurs) has declared victory a bit prematurely.

Back to the question ... what's more dangerous and shameful for the nation? That this creature is the president ... or that a sizable minority of the country thinks he's what a president should be?

Remember, Trump knows more about everything than everybody.

His secret? Covfefe and hamberders.

Oh, it's definitely this.

If they think this kind of petulant, childish behavior is worthy of a President, they will literally vote for anything.

Whom they might support next time, should we make it out of Trumps presidency in one piece, could be frighteningly worse.

This is beyond all else this predator has done.

This man must be removed.

How can any american support this monster.

How do you traitors, you Trumpets, justify this?

I want to hear the sick twisted rational to support Trump on this.

Proof, if any more was needed, that Trump doesn't care about the USA, about Americans, aboiut anybody, except himself.

He wants to believe he secured a famous diplomatic victory when in fact he was played for the fool he is.


He wants to believe it so much, he actually does.

The map says what the map says. The intel community has a vested interest in maintaining operations anywhere possible.

I thought you opposed that?

The intel chiefs know what they are talking about. The terrifying thing is that Trump does not.

The terrifying things to me are:
  • It was, upon the end of the first GOP primary debate, patently clear Trump is a clueless waste of skin, yet people voted for him and gave him the GOP nomination.
  • It was, by Oct. 2016, clear as the nose on one's face that he didn't know what he was talking about, yet enough people voted for him to win the general election.
  • Despite all that, since January 2017, he's said/done illustrating he doesn't know what he's talking about, people yet support him.
Ignoramuses and idiots are what they are, and they periodically appear. They aren't intrinsically frightful. That materially large quantities of people don't recognize them as the loons they are is.

These are all Trump's intel chiefs. He appointed these Directors. Were Gina Haspel and Dan Coats lying to Congress?

Remember, this is the president that does not read nor listen to his Daily Presidential Brief. But he'll lay in bed and watch Fox for hours on end.

And like a wooden stake in the cold-dead-heart of Donald Trump, none of these intel chiefs mentioned any national emergency on our southern border.

That is probably the primary reason he is pissed. It takes all the air out of his border emergency threats.

This.

I can respect conservatives, libertarians, liberals, democrats, socialists, republicans... and always have, I stopped respecting Trumpets about a month ago.

This is no joke. I will do no business with any red hat.

That in itself is a bit scary. Remember, you can't deal with crazy.

And what makes the map credible above US intel agencies? I see the map is made by a IHS Markit which is a London based company formed in 2016. Now, tell me how you believe a company based in 2016 knows more than the US intel? Do give us specific reasoning as well.

Anyone can make a mistake so it's OK to have voted for Trump. It's no longer OK to support him.

He knows better than all our intelligence agencies?

Supporting insanity is insane.

We are in big ****, will the USA survive?
