Former CIA director John Brennan said that he’s not deterred by President Donald Trump’s attacks. After it was announced that his security clearance would be revoked, Brennan tweeted that he will not relent.

“This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics,” he said Wednesday afternoon “It should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent.”

Brennan later compared Trump to a “foreign despot” during an MSNBC interview.

The president claimed the motivation was Brennan’s “erratic” behavior, but many believe it’s merely a petty attack on a political adversary.

10. Trump has got projection down to a fine art.

Ever notice that whenever he criticizes -- rather, lambasts -- someone he's actually describing himself and not his intended target?

The dog.

Brennan doesn't get angry. This is an intelligent and calculating American patriot. I hope that all those who have been diminished by 45 get their day when he's arrested.
