The White House cancelled President Trump’s daily intelligence briefing Wednesday after the nation’s top intelligence officials contradicted the administration’s foreign policy in front of Congress. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told The Daily Beast “It was moved.” Presidents typically meet with intelligence officials daily to review threats to the nation. While those meetings are sometimes cancelled in the Trump White House, the abruptness Wednesday was unusual. The cancellation came the day after CIA Director Gina Haspel and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats contradicted Trump on an array of foreign policy issues. The two said that Iran was complying with an Obama-era nuclear deal that Trump has slammed as a “disaster,” noted that North Korea was unlikely to give up its nuclear weapons, though the president has said denuclearization talks are making progress, and said ISIS was still a threat despite Trump’s declaration of victory over the terrorist group. Trump responded the next morning by excoriating the intelligence chiefs, suggesting that they “should go back to school!” But Trump appeared to reconcile with the officials Thursday during an Oval Office meeting, saying they were “all on the same page!”
“Trump claims his intel chiefs were 'misquoted' when they publicly broke with him”
WTF? They testified before Congresson live television?

I'm telling you, Trump is the type of person that would actually say there is no such thing as the moon, we are just imagining it.
I can't believe Republicans are sitting by doing nothing

It's very easy to believe, the system is is excessively polarized and hyperpartisan. Trump wears the R, so Republicans defend him. If Trump was a D, but did much the same as he does now, the Democrats would defend him and the Republicans would be losing their minds.

White House abruptly cancelled meeting with intel chiefs day after contradicting Trump
Trump thought he would punish his intel chiefs by canceling Wednesday's Presidents Daily Brief (PDB) by the CIA.
An ignorant buffoon that probably receives the PDB while laying in bed watching Fox & Friends.
I caution people against this sort of "both sides" arguments when one side is actively trying to burn the place down and the other side is... angry about them burning the place down.
