Trump Has Intelligence Issues

A naive President messing with his intelligence services.

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!

Yes, Trump obviously is not an “intelligence” person. If he would have the slightest clue what intelligence services do he would not have messed with them. As for these services, mutual loyality between the POTUS and them is especially important. Trump broke it.

Mr. President Donald J. Trump, before sending intelligence back to school, how about getting some schooling from Putin for yourself? You might not have noticed it when you talked to each other, but Putin is an experienced intelligence expert.https://t.co/wvW4GSskof

After disparaging the intelligence community, Trump now claims “I value our intelligence community”. Trump thinks that he can undo his tweets to 58 million followers. Too late. The intel community read them already. Never tweet what you can’t untweet.

….I would suggest you read the COMPLETE testimony from Tuesday. A false narrative is so bad for our Country. I value our intelligence community. Happily, we had a very good meeting, and we are all on the same page!

We also watched his tweets. Insulting the intel community probably is one of the biggest mistake a POTUS can make.

Concession

Two responses to a 2019-01-25 POTUS tweet.

Mr. President, of course it was a concession. Where is the problem? Measured concessions are something a professional has in her or his negotiation tool kit.

It is debatable whether this concession is good or bad, but it is nothing to be ashamed of.https://t.co/yN7v1amJ74

The Republican Party seems not to be too excited about Trump's "theme".

Let's check that and search "BUILD THE WALL"+"CRIME WILL FALL":

In 2014, Roger Stone and Sam Nunberg came up with the idea for the wall as mnemonic device for Donald Trump.https://t.co/CHeWkp59I3

The "WALL" theme suits Trump and appeals to single-issue voters. https://t.co/AVKGdzLYdr

»… his political advisers landed on the idea of a border wall as a mnemonic device of sorts, a way to make sure their candidate — who hated reading from a script but loved boasting about himself and his talents as a builder …«https://t.co/AyRfF4N9D8

Trumps >5 billion $$ wall project is *designed* to be rejected by the Democrats. Trump and the GOP obviously don't want a wall. Otherwise Trump and the GOP would have built the wall before the midterms.https://t.co/6mWyYr3j2z

— Goetz Kluge (@Bonnetmaker) January 26, 2019

So the "wall" agenda is not about border security. It is about timing. The wall drama is to be kept boiling until 2020.

https://t.co/GBiEaGfUk9 belongs to an important thread which I compiled in https://t.co/zeBNRH4YPd. Jared Yates Sexton showed how Trump is playing the press. Trump won't change his way, but the media can do it by stopping to echoing rhetorics (eristics) so predictably.

Voting in the USA

Why doesn't Mitch McConnell want to make Election Day a federal holiday? Here's what would happen if every eligible voter actually voted. pic.twitter.com/I2TXoLx8hM

It's so easy. In Germany we have elections on Sundays. Many volunteers help in a way which makes sure that there is no fraud. That works well in a civilized country. I did such volunteering several times. If Germany can do it, the USA should be able to do that too.

“Trump Is a Fraud”

“Trump is a Fraud” goes a bit far. Did the Washington Post go too far? Jamal Ahmad Khashoggi was one of theirs. And it was Donald Trump who vehemently defended his business partner Mohammad bin Salman. The Washington Post will not forget that.

It doesn’t end there.

Trump supporters have been worshiping the god that failed. He is not the uber-competent, alpha-male boss depicted on “The Apprentice.” He is, in truth, the weakest president since Jimmy Carter and the least competent since Warren Harding. My column: https://t.co/LpSGx7vvqo
