This morning Trump is telling us he knows better than the intelligence people. I have to wonder how that could possibly be the case, when he doesn’t read his own intelligence briefings and he knows nothing about anything in general and he can barely read.
The Intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran. They are wrong! When I became President Iran was making trouble all over the Middle East, and beyond. Since ending the terrible Iran Nuclear Deal, they are MUCH different, but….

….a source of potential danger and conflict. They are testing Rockets (last week) and more, and are coming very close to the edge. There economy is now crashing, which is the only thing holding them back. Be careful of Iran. Perhaps Intelligence should go back to school!

Dunning Kruger effect much?
From the "Nazi Germany" tweet during the transition to Helsinki to this, attacks on the IC have been one of Trump's most enduring themes. Any independent arbiter of the truth is a threat to his entire political strategy. https://t.co/PXGPUonXSb

When a @POTUS denounces his own appointees as incompetent, claiming he personally knows more about threats to natl security than the entire #CIA, #FBI, #NSC, #NSA, etc., he is the real threat. And where does #Trump get his Intel, if not from these agencies? Yeah, @FoxNews . https://t.co/fFPKJaJs13

Well yes, Trump has always had trouble with intelligence.
Trump has accomplished one thing. He has gotten the left defending the intelligence community, something liberals have not been prone to do because of their well known excesses.
Their excesses and at least in the case of the CIA their wholesale obliteration of the line between intelligence gathering and intervention.
And the habit of actually infiltrating activist groups and inciting them to do something illegal so they can arrest them…something they may not have had in their mind prior to the operative placing it there.
I give you the Immaculate Conceptualization.
He writes, “There economy is now crashing,” but it’s other people who should go back to school?
Ben, Trump has knowledge the rest of us don’t about proper use of there, their, and they’re. We are mistaken, he knows things we don’t because he has a very good brain (Abby Normal?) and is a stable genius.
“They are testing Rockets…”.
Would that be Houston Rockets? Or perhaps he meant Rockettes?
What a Maroon, he would have a fit if Iran was testing Rockettes. That would be cutting in on his territory. He has to grab the Rockettes himself to properly test them. So probably the Houston Rockets?
