Trump remarks deepen distrust with intelligence community

President Trump's declaration that he would accept dirt on his 2020 opponents from foreign governments is threatening his already strained relationships with the intelligence and law-enforcement communities.

Former law enforcement and intelligence officials said the president's words could hamper efforts to combat foreign interference in next year's elections, and that they dampen morale.

"People in the intelligence community are going to be increasingly concerned that the president of the United States is not fulfilling the constitutional role of commander-in-chief and chief executive," said Steven Cash, an ex-CIA officer and former chief counsel to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)

The remarks come at a precarious time for an intelligence community that is already subject to an investigation launched by Trump into the origins of the Russia investigation.

If there's one thing the dotard and most other Republicans hate is intelligence. That's all elitist bullshit as far as they're concerned.
