Trump insists he's on same page as intel chiefs after insulting them
President Donald Trump claimed Thursday that his intelligence chiefs, including Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and CIA Director Gina Haspel, told him that they were misquoted when they publicly contradicted him during public on-camera testimony.

He made the claim a day after he tweeted that "Intelligence should go back to school!"
"They said they were totally misquoted and totally taken out of context," Trump said when asked by CNN if he raised the testimony with Coats and Haspel during his daily briefing on Thursday.
"They said it was fake news," Trump said.

1. Where are you seeing this? On TV?

[DemKittyNC]

6. MSNBC

They are talking about it now on MSNBC

[riversedge]

7. msnbc just now. They played the tape of Trump saying this.

[malaise]

9. Yep - OK they're saying this is authoritarianism

The Con's own facts.

Can't wait for one of the Intelligence Heads to deny this madness.

People have had it - the Con is finished. He said the Heads said the testimony was 'fake news' This fucker is stark raving mad.

37. clickable link... "But we're here to talk about *CHINA*"

https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4777402/president-trump-intelligence-chiefs-misquoted


The way he says "China"....ugh...what an ass.

[orleans]

57. abc national news w/david muir just ran this

trump told the reporters they should call the intelligence agencies to verify the fact that it was taken out of context.

abc placed a couple calls. one agency said "no comment" and another abc left a message that has not been returned.

trump: totally full of shit

[BigMin28]

2. Well past time

But the republicans don't have the spine to invoke it.

[sandensea]

3. "Your president learns quick, no?"

[dewsgirl]

29. +1000000!

[kentuck]

43. How ya' doin', comrade?

[bdamomma]

67. fucking short man

syndrome, who was afraid of Hillary whooping his ass.

[Siwsan]

4. I wish they'd all put out statements calling him on his lie

Better yet, call a press briefing and SAY in front of cameras, that he LIED.

[malaise]

10. They will

The end is nigh!

[Siwsan]

12. I keep hoping!

This is insane.

[malaise]

13. Stolen from JHB's cartoon thread

[Siwsan]

17. Looks about right!!

[Duppers]

35. Abso.fuckin.lutely!!

[riversedge]

5. I just on the TV and msnbc is discussing this horrible thing Trump just did. damn

[Mme. Defarge]

8. Schumer "went there" yesterday when he used the "I" word.

INTERVENTION!!!

[malaise]

11. Perfect

This is it!!

[marybourg]

76. Oh. I thought "idiot".

[Mme. Defarge]

77. That would be an "F" -

it’s complicated, but a very common error.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

14. fake pres thinks everyone else is as fakey as he is

Poor Demented Donald. Everybody's out to get him. Everybody lies to him. He should eat more bacon grease. It soothes the soul and clears the mind.

[malaise]

15. You know this outburst suggests he didn't watch the hearings

at all or is unable to grasp what was said. OK the last part is a known fact.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

70. I just want to see him blow a gasket

Everyone should think back to all the conceited bullies they've ever had to deal with, everything that made them crazy mad, and then do the same to Dumb Donald. Anyone lucky enough to have avoided such creatures can look back through the debates of 2016, Dumb Donald's twitter history, news clips where he got mad, etc., and figure out how to ridicule, challenge, or ignore the dolt until he explodes.

[malaise]

73. He's facing that now

and he can't handle it. The end is nigh.

[pwb]

16. Our Intelligence Agencies need to act.

In the interest of the people fight back against this Putin fool. Leak some real damaging shit on Trump. He deserves it now.

[Stuart G]

50. My guess is the agencies have already acted. That is they already have .."real damaging shit

on Trump." That is what they do if they feel there is a threat from any source to our nations stability and security. The real question is when that information will come out. It must come out at a the maximum time of effectiveness. If Trump has colluded with Russia, and the CIA and others have definite "proof" there is a question of when to release that .."proof" so it is most damaging and will remove Trump. Who knows what it is? We will see, and of course this is speculation, and it is possible that the agencies do not have .."proof"

..Hopefully we will all find out soon.

[Takket]

18. How does he know it is fake?

[malaise]

19. He says they told him

Will post video as available

[dewsgirl]

34. He basically said the media portrayed it that way, so fake news.

[malaise]

54. How did he interpret what they said?

That is what is scary here. The media got it right - the agency heads disagreed with the Con.
There is no other interpretation

[TrogL]

38. He needs it to be fake therefore it is fake

[kentuck]

44. He wants FOX to report it as "fake news"...

He needs the legitimacy of FOX News.

He has them wrapped around his little finger...

[erronis]

47. Opposite: They have him wrapped around their tentacles.

But all of them have so many digits/arms inserted into each other that it's hard to tell who's doing what to whom.

[gratuitous]

20. Gee, that's kind of unusual

I wonder if anyone in the media will harken back to a time when any other president derided the analysis of the intelligence community as "fake news"? I'm sure it happened lots and lots of times, right? Nothing really out of the ordinary. Just another day in President Trump's America.

[malaise]

21. It's much worse than that

He's saying that the intelligence heads told him that the media presentation of the testimony is 'fake news'. The problem here is that we watched it with out own eyes and heard it with our own ears. This is Orwellian shit.

[demmiblue]

22. He is incapable of telling the truth. n/t

[Stuart G]

59. I do think that most of the people in the U.S.A. now know this..

Where as before his election, many thought that Mr Trump would change in his new job..(I didn't and most here didn't)...

but now, everyone knows your words.."He is incapable of telling the truth"

The CIA and FBI know this..I believe they have been on the case for a long time..(of course I have no proof)..Why? ..If you were the head of the CIA or FBI would you be on Trump's case??...then the answer is clear..ain't it???

[bdamomma]

72. Well the American

people have not got anything to improve their lives just miserable heartache from this POS. He is a fucking loser.

[Blue Owl]

23. That guy and his fake fucking news...

[malaise]

24. I am hoping for a complete meltdown on Tuesday night

Would be lovely if he walks off what he thinks is the 'studio set'.

[Blue Owl]

41. Along with a few indictments to lower the melting point temperature even further...

I can feel 'em coming...

[malaise]

42. Please please please!

[First Speaker]

25. Trump is our Quisling. Yes--time for the 25th, time for anything...

...even the nauseous spectacle of Pence and a media that portrays him as a "healer"...

[thucythucy]

27. The Quisling analogy is near perfect.

A right wing traitor willing to sell out his country in the name of his own ego driven aggrandizement.

[kentuck]

26. WOW!

He has finally shown his hand.

And it isn't pretty.

[malaise]

36. As the CNN report points out

This is after he attacked them

[Cheviteau]

62. Oh Yeah

Wait 'till you see his mushroom.

[Windy City Charlie]

28. He and his fake news

The only time we ever hear about fake news from him is when a story is something he doesn't like. It's getting so old. He never says why it's fake, but he knows all he has to do is say it and the deplorables will just eat it up without questioning it.

[malaise]

30. He always lies - that is now normal but this time he exposed himself

Clearly he is not capable of understanding the testimony of his own intelligence agency heads.
The synopsis presented by the media is accurate. I am also betting that the Intelligence heads are pissed.

[malaise]

39. This makes no sense

If he listened to their testimony live or after, he knows they do not agree with him.
How can that be fake - this is lunacy on steroids

[Stuart G]

60. I think the answer is.."He is too stupid, to know that he is stupid".. and Trump thinks he's smart!

And can say whatever he wants, about whoever he wants.(even if there is evidence to the contrary)


...........So he proves to all that...HE IS STUPID, STUPID BEYOND STUPID

[malaise]

63. That is true - he is a raving lunatic

Does he believe any of this madness makes sense?

[Stuart G]

66. .....Yes, I agree completely...."- he is a raving lunitic." your words..

Trump believes what he wants to believe...no matter if it makes sense or not...and that is not new..
....that is how he has thought for a long time...(at least this is what I think about him)

[honest.abe]

31. Good lord.

Dangerous lunatic.

[malaise]

40. Yep

and then some

[colsohlibgal]

33. He Is Despicable

This is straight out of the autocrat/dictator playbook. He is a despicable human being.

[kentuck]

45. Deny everything, admit nothing, make counter-accusations.

http://www.eoinbutler.com/home/admit-nothing-deny-everything-make-counter-accusations/

[Corgigal]

46. Just wondering, out loud...

Maybe they did tell him the above. To please him, to keep him calm, to let him sit in the Oval Office. Just tell him what he wants to hear. I doubt intelligence ever lies to a president because they are on the same team..

Unless they are not. Probably not correct, but wanted to throw it out there.

[erronis]

49. I think most professional intelligence members are far more honest and loyal than a lying douche-bag

pResident. And I think they would be honest with such a douche since lying to the douche would just draw them further into his slime/swamp/morass.

All that said, I think the Dulles bros were probably as capable of lying to their president as any.

[Corgigal]

52. True.

I'm just thinking it would be for the safety of America right now. Trump wouldn't know, he doesn't read anything. Just buying time for the legal systems to grab the net.

I doubt they would lie to Obama, but any president would have to consider that. However, it's most likely Trump is lying cause that's all the ever leaves his mouth.

[malaise]

68. That would be beyond patronizing on their part but what is really frightening

is the thought that he could believe it - no one who watched that testimony believes this rubbish. He is out to lunch!

[Achilleaze]

48. And republicans continue support this dangerous, lying Draft-Dodging Casino Hustler

The republicans have completely shit their own treasonous trousers. Absolutely disgraceful. I never want to hear some so-called republican "christian" try to tell me again about their "holy morality." Such bullshit only Satan himself could concoct.

[Stuart G]

64. this will be argued...but when the impeachment happens..some

republicans..will NOT support this..."dangerous, lying Draft-Dodging Casino Hustler"

If you are going to stand up against most in your party, and your President,,...timing is everything....
It ain't time yet...but lt does look like the time will come. (I hope it is soon, but no one knows)

[Kurt V.]

51. wash, rinse, repeat.

[OnDoutside]

53. Let's hope for another Indictment Friday tomorrow !

[malaise]

56. Yes Yes Yes!!

[OnDoutside]

58. Rick Wilson put out a cryptic tweet a while ago so fingers crossed !

[spanone]

55. this fucker needs to be exiled.

[panader0]

61. I saw it. The mind reels......

[bdamomma]

65. trump

is no American, always kissing Vlad's ass along with those who received money (those Congress members) we know who they are.

[spanone]

69. If republicans do nothing after this intel insanity, we are screwn. In every way possible

he's winging it. gulp...

[malaise]

71. The Con is going down

and he will take some of them down with him.
Mueller has the goods,

[Stuart G]

74. As stated before..when the time comes..some republicans will turn...and you are correct...

.."Mueller has the goods." and the goods will be clear and easy for everyone to see.

Just like today...He says and does thinks that are, "unthinkable"...To say publically that the "Intelligence Agencies present .."Fake News."

or in real language...Our own intelligence agencies .."Lied to him and to all of us."..Well.....people in the "Intelligence Agencies are loyal to the U.S.A." That is what they do..gather intelligence to protect the U.S.A.

Now it is obvious...Trump is loyal to Putin...not the U.S.A.. the end.

[area51]

75. Dr. Bandy Lee

said Trump would unravel.

[malaise]

78. Wow!

That was fascinating - thank you
