Why does he insist on displaying his ineptitude so frequently?

https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/30/polit...rea/index.html

"On Tuesday, the nation's top intelligence official, who was appointed by Trump, told Senate lawmakers that the US intelligence community does not believe Iran is currently undertaking "key activities" needed to produce a nuclear bomb -- an assessment at odds with longtime administration claims that Iran is an immediate nuclear threat.

Trump, in a remarkable rebuke that was reminiscent of his past criticisms of law enforcement officials, said the intel chiefs were "extremely passive and naive" on the matter.

"The Intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran. They are wrong!" Trump tweeted."

Because he can say anything he wants to and 40% of Americans will believe it without question.

Has any other President had such conflicting views from those he has hired to be in the intelligence field.

It isn't just Iran.

North Korea, Iran, Syria, etc....Trump seems to have a very different view of the situation in those countries than the experts.

Trump claims to know more about Iran than his intelligence officials

The world according to Trump. Truth doesn't fit his chosen narrative, so he changes the Truth, not the narrative.

Trump is an increasing embarrassment, this at a time when I didn't think that was even possible.

A member of the one trick pony club strikes again. Address the issue and thread topic. C'mon tell us how and why Trump knows more that the experts about Iran. I dare you to explain or else admit to being as clueless on the matter as Heir Drumpf.

It's a quote from Trump. Not a story about Trump.

The other day, when he was marketing the wall, he denigrated the usefulness of drones. He claims he knows more about technology than anybody else. He actually said that.
