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.”

Another Obama official attacks Trump.

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

The more libs squeal about a Trump policy or decision, the more I know it was the correct one.

And, Trump’s simple and ignorant economic policies are working. That is as opposed to the complex and intelligent economic of Obama’s that didn’t work.

“”””questioned the president’s economic acumen. “”””

Is he slamming a guy who made billions of dollars in a very competitive real estate market?

Plus, what does a CIA guy know about economics?

He's hoping to become more of a public figure, so that when they indite him for all his crimes, he'll get some public sympathy.

Notoriety = protection

“......seems like they are being ordered to do so.”...

It’s in the “Plan For Radicals” play book.

Backed into a corner as Trump persists, and doesn’t back down the Left has resorted to name calling, and sticking their collective tongues out at the President.

Nothing more. Nothing less.
