Trump Dumps All Over U.S. Intel Community: 'I Won't Use Them'

[NastyRiffraff]

Donald Trump said Wednesday he was wary of relying on the U.S. intelligence community because he does not trust them and believes they've made "bad decisions."

During an interview with Fox News, Trump was asked about his upcoming intelligence briefing and whether he does "trust intelligence."

"Not so much from the people that have been doing it for our country. Look what's happened over the last ten years. Look what's happened over the years. It's been catastrophic," he said in response. "And in fact, I won't use some of the people that are sort of your standards, you know, just use them, use them, use them. Very easy to use them, but I won't use them because they've made such bad decisions."

Trump did not make clear --and was not asked -- whom he would rely on outside of official channels.

Of course, with all the information coming out about Manafort's (and Trump's?) Russian shenanagans, no wonder he doesn't want the intelligence community sniffing around.
