”President Trump lashed out at U.S. intelligence officials Wednesday, calling them “extremely passive and naive” about the nuclear danger posed by Iran and pushing back on their assessments of the Islamic State and North Korea during a congressional hearing.

In a series of tweets, Trump offered what amounted to a rebuttal of testimony on an array of global threats provided to the Senate on Tuesday by a panel of top officials from his administration.”

I wonder where the Administration is getting their information?

What the **** is that moron doing.

“The Intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran. They are wrong!” Trump wrote. “They are testing Rockets (last week) and more, and are coming very close to the edge. There economy is now crashing, which is the only thing holding them back. Be careful of Iran.

“Perhaps Intelligence should go back to school!” the president added.

Good one, and fair question. Let's see the counter evidence.

I don't know could be what we all saw on TV. Iran attempting to launch a ballistic missile. Could be someone understands that there is little use having nuclear weapons without a delivery system. So that work continues. As Obama told us Iran was very close to having the bomb anyway. So it makes sense to work on how to deliver it.

As to North Korea, who but the most naive or partisan thought they would stop their work BEFORE a deal. Who is shocked that a deal of this magnitude would be worked out quickly. How long did it take Obama/Kerry to give(back) $100 billion to Iran to stop work on a bomb while they are allowed to work on delivery systems.

There is none beyond Trumps "gut feeling and instincts", and the Fox talking heads he watches ten hours a day.
