"People [who were listening to Trump] spend their lives trying to figure out what's true, so it's hard to make the case that the media created a feud with Trump. It just ain't so."

"He used the scene as a prop for another complaint about the media and another bit of braggadocio...That Trump made no mention of those whom that wall memorializes, made his performance doubly offensive."
-- Paul Pillar, former National Intelligence Officer in charge of the Middle East and South Asia

"What self-centered, irrational decision process got him to this travesty?"
-- CIA veteran John MacGaffin

"Had a great meeting at CIA Headquarters yesterday, packed house, paid great respect to Wall, long standing ovations, amazing people. WIN!"
-- Trump tweet
