Obama’s CIA boss Brennan rips Trump’s ‘ignorance’ and ‘simple minded’ economic policies
The Washington Times ^ | March 7, 2018 | Douglas Ernst

Former CIA chief John Brennan made a rare appearance on Twitter Wednesday to lash out at President Donald Trump over “ignorance” that threatens U.S. prosperity.

The commander in chief’s recent talk of possible steel and aluminum tariffs prompted a social-media jab by Mr. Brennan this week. The post — 1 of 18 total tweets, with the vast majority related to Mr. Trump or the U.S. Russia probe — questioned the president’s economic acumen.

“You show an amazing albeit unsurprising ignorance of how technology, automation, and the attendant evolution of economics and societies have transformed the world,” Mr. Brennan, who served under former President Obama, wrote. “Your simple minded policies — imposition of tariffs — have the potential to seriously damage our future prosperity.”

"....It has happened so many times it seems like they are being ordered to do so....."

Duh!

Why did they send Brennen out on a social media Brennen rarely uses, to lambast Trump on, of all things, economics?

So I agree with your assessment. These people are being directed to go out into the media to do the Resistance's dirty work.

Brennen is a known public liar and idiot. But he is no economist.

Maybe it was just his turn in the rotation of ex-Obama Administration officials to go out and make a fool of himself.

Brennen questioning Trump's economic acumen is rich. Maybe he didn't notice the billionaire's real estate empire.

This is such blatant partisan politics. A GOPer could never get away with this. But Dems get top cover from the MSM to play these disgusting games.

Another Obama official attacks Trump.
It has happened so many times it seems like they are being ordered to do so.


You are correct. And they get ZERO push back from the stenographers in the media. It’s all choreographed theater.

Brennan, so stupid if you asked him what is 2 plus 3, he would mumble a bit then say I plead the 5th.
