20. Sorry, but this plays into his hands

Thu Feb 16, 2017, 12:07 AM

Feb 2017

He's been dissing the intelligence community for the entire time he's been either running for president, or holding that office. His supporters will take this as evidence that the intelligence community's leaders cannot be trusted, and when he replaces them with his lackeys, they will shout hallelujah.

Frankly, I fear that the so-called intelligence community leaders are and have been the real rulers of this country, no matter who has been president. Something that shakes that up may not be entirely bad.
