In reply to the discussion: Trump Is Starting to Panic - By Frank Rich [View all]Loge23

If the #IPOTUS refutes the CIA, after his term-long beef with the FBI, and blaming the Secret Service for his France debacle, he's putting himself into a very dangerous position.

Yes it is their job, but if I were the POTUS I would at least make an attempt to cultivate a positive relationship with these agencies.
