13. Trump has bulldozed over anyone who got in his way in the past.

It seems to have given him a sense that he can bully even the CIA and they will back down. I am hopeful he may be finally meeting an entity that is more powerful than he is. He seems like the type of person who would truly burn the house down if he gets into a corner so the CIA may have their hands full, but I would not want to get on their bad side. He better be careful suggesting they are incompetent because if there is anything on him that is illegal, they will find it and take him down hard.
