Wow. Trump: Intel chiefs said they were misquoted and they called it 'fake news.'

He's gone totally nutso.

CNN:

President Donald Trump claimed Thursday that his intelligence chiefs, including Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and CIA Director Gina Haspel, told him that they were misquoted when they publicly contradicted him during public on-camera testimony.

"They said they were totally misquoted and totally taken out of context," Trump said when asked by CNN if he raised the testimony with Coats and Haspel during his daily briefing on Thursday.

"They said it was fake news," Trump said.

The President did not provide examples of the areas the intelligence chiefs said they were misquoted. Their testimony was televised, and their written assessment of global threats was made public.

So he went and made a statement pretending it was all a misunderstanding.
Personally I would not want to piss off the CIA and other Intel services.
