"Trump claims to know more about Iran than his intelligence officials"

Intelligence agencies have never understood the Middle East, so do you really want the President to believe everything they say?
"Everything?"
Why do people resort to such extremes when obviously there is a good deal else a POTUS can do with IA information other than to "believe everything."
Not rocket science, after all, to simply pay attention to what is happening on the world scene, including in the Middle East, to combine with what your advisors and intelligence agencies are telling you. No POTUS worth a damn is going to "believe everything they say." In fact, intelligence briefings and strategy meetings are very often about considering competing views and even conflicting intelligence.
That said, not seriously considering the information your intelligence agencies are providing, especially when corroborated by other agencies domestic and foreign, is just dumb.

Why do we waste so much money on intelligence agencies? We should just shut them down.
While we're at it, let's shut down the military. The generals have never understood the Middle East, right? I mean, they get their intelligence from the intelligence community, so it's useless.
You base that statement on WHAT?
Let's hear ALL about his understanding of the ME.
Or are you just making stuff up?
HINT: Trump saying he understands counts for nothing.

Trump is still attempting to rationalize our withdrawal from the Iran deal so when his appointed CIA director indicates they are in compliance he has no choice but to declare she is wrong.
As we have seen the tRump community lies.
The challenge is knowing when he is telling the truth.
If he is not offering evidence or proof there is no reason to believe him.
It doesn't matter what he claims to know if he won't show it, its no different than a coin toss.
Individual 1 doesn't know more than a 5th grader. He is still clueless about the difference between climate and weather. He has made up hysteria rhetoric like the birther movement and the Central Park 5. He doesn't even have a basic grasp of character within his administration. Look at how many indictments and charges have been handed down in 2 years within his administration. He bankrupts business, scams universities/charities, and cheats on his wife and ex-wives. He claims North Korea is denuclearized and ISIS has been defeated. Individual 1 has less knowledge and credibility than a Russian troll.
