Donald Trump has been criticized for dismissing his own country’s intelligence while embracing and trusting Russian President Vladimir Putin.
On Tuesday, Trump went on a Twitter rant claiming that “the so-called intelligence community” shouldn’t be trusted.
He tweeted the following:
“John Bolton, one of the dumbest people I’ve met in government and sadly, I’ve met plenty, states often that I respected, and even trusted, Vladimir Putin of Russia more than those in our Intelligence Agencies. While of course that is not true, if the first people you met from so called American Intelligence were Dirty Cops who have now proven to be sleazebags at the highest level like James Comey, proven liar James Clapper, & perhaps the lowest of them all, Wacko John Brennan who headed the CIA, you could perhaps understand my reluctance to embrace!”
