"SNIP....
President Trump continues to reject the judgments of U.S. spy agencies on major foreign policy fronts, creating a dynamic in which intelligence analysts frequently see troubling gaps between the presidents public statements and the facts laid out for him in daily briefings on world events, the Washington Post reports.

to understand fighting with your own country intelligence service is one of the dumbest things a person can do. He has no idea what information they have on him and his family. He isn't aware how much funding their Black operations get funded for.
They need to start leaking more fun info. As soon as we get someone to take the actual nuclear codes from him. Make him a laughing stock, he will lose his shit. Live and on camera.
