This is hilarious. There were 1000 requests for 300 seats.
They admitted 400. The five minute, enthusiastic standing ovation was genuine.
He didn't need cheerleaders.

Trump is a rattle-puppy.
He comes up, wiggling his puppy body and licks your hand, then bites it like a snake. And then wiggles some more and licks it again. And then bites again.
That's going to get real old real fast with the folks in the CIA. They see the same stuff happen in other places all over the world, all the time. It's a very old and primitive way of manipulation. They use it themselves when necessary.
The CIA has never been a popular agency, and it has a very checkered past. The reason why it still exists is because it is always a President's bunch of people he can count on to give him critical information from places where that info is very hard to come by.
That makes them extremely useful to every President, and the agency's opaque secrecy protects the Presidents as much as the CIA staff and leadership. None care if they're blamed or not for misdeeds; that doesn't harm the agency's effectiveness at all. So they are always a convenient place to hang blame upon, and that is also useful, sometimes.
Trump is probably just beginning to figure this out.
I noticed he's no longer mentioning the private security force he once claimed he would use as President. He may be infantile and naive, but neither makes him stupid.

Well according to Trump, I do understand that he brought a large entourage and no one knows who the people were that applauded, you thought it was genuine because you saw them standing and you saw their faces LOL. Now that's hilarious!
Very odd that he went on a Saturday since Pompeo was approved today, I don't recall any president doing this a few days after inauguration. Sure seems like a photo OP and spin.

The msm said the people that applauded were in the from rows.
I've seen some of the video. No CIA officer worth his salt believes a single thing that they were told. And in front of their wall. That has people who died stopping people who acted like him.
Trump is insane. Seriously, the CIA is a vital government agency, and his visit did not help.
The media said the applause came from the front rows.
Spicer confirmed that Trump's people were not in the audience.
So, who was in the front rows that were applauding if it wasn't Trump's people?
The media can't have it both ways, if they said the applause came from the front rows, then it wasn't Trump's people.
Oh well if Spicer said it, I'm convinced
