Par for the course.

[Santander]

If only they knew as much as Trump did.

[President Johnson]

I would say that too, if I thought I was smarter than the generals when it comes to ISIS.

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

If only they knew as much as Trump did.

Did Trump really forget to take off his tanning goggles? That has to be photo shopped Trump looks so bad there.

[GeorgiaModerate]

All you have to do is remember that Trump knows more about everything than everybody.

Disagreeing with this President looks like evidence that one is anything but naive.

No, Senator. The problem is not remotely that Trump goes on Twitter. That's actually a good thing because he exposes his ignorance and literal borderline Insanity to the country in the world. The problem is that your party has put in charge of itself and the country the guy who is about 3 Dead brain cells away from Full meltdown, suffers from narcissistic personality disorder to an extent that would give Mussolini pause, and essentially everyone with any power in your party is willing to accept it and tolerated as a proceed necessary evil to getting the be-all-and-end-all of tax cuts an a stacked judiciary

Trump and the very concept of intelligence don't go together.

Not at all. W, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bolton, at al were outrageously incompetent oh, not to mention disingenuous. And one of the most telling examples was how they misused and misstated the evidence the intelligence Community provided them, for the explicit predetermined purpose of regime change in Iraq.

So tell us again how this remotely relates to Trump not being a complete self-deluded boob?

Also curious if you're ready to enlist when John Bolton decides to send those 5,000 troops to Colombia.

Can't wait for this long national nightmare to be over. Trump is a disgrace.

Empty quoting your own quote? Yeah, that'll get it started.

 That was an error. I went to modify the post but accidentally quoted.

More competent than the lunatic who wants Iraq part 2 in Iran, no?

Does he though, or did you just decide that he does? I can never tell with you guys anymore with the TDS outbreak being this severe.

Is he or is he not chastising the intelligence community for not being hawkish enough on Iran? This is the guy who asked his cabinet multiple times why they couldn't go into Iraq and "seize" the oil, you think he'd truly be against an Iran war?

In fact the Bush White House bullied intelligence officials into providing them flimsy evidence to justify invasion, so that example actually undermines your case.

[Famous Mortimer]

Trump is wrong.

The intelligence services are actually treasonous and grossly incompetent, as the Iraq War showed.

Trump is trying to be diplomatic though. Bless his heart.

[Nutmeg]

The intelligence services are actually treasonous and grossly incompetent, as the Iraq War showed.

That was Bush's political appointees who manipulated the intelligence into showing the cause they needed to invade.

 Yes, they ignored plenty of intelligence inside and outside of the United States government that said Iraq had abandoned it's nuclear weapons program and even destroyed most of it's chemical weapons stockpile.

Who needs the CIA when you've got Donald J. Trump's gut instinct on Kim Jong-un??
