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.”

Brennan and Clapper are two of the most unimpressive, depressing, dumbass creatures to emerge out of the DC swamp in my memory. Tells us more about what sort of administration Zero had for eight years.

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

More likely, they are happily on standby, awaiting cues from ValJar in the basement of Obama's Washington DC operations center.

I think Brennan will be a target of the second special counsel which I now think is coming. It has to come because the IG can’t talk to fleeing felons with subpoenas and they cannot prosecute anything . It is my view that Brennan committed numerous felonies.

After stealing Obama's passport data, he was shot through his head in his car as he idled, parked in front of his church.

Brennan was the CEO of the McLean, VA. security company that employed him.

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

Several alleged freepers, one more than all, personally taught me that here almost two years ago.

I am looking forward to all these past administration officials being imprisoned or executed for Treason so we don’t have to see or hear from them again.

Translation: "You need to get with the globalist agenda because your policies are going to hurt the corporate elitists." He's concerned with the interests of the global corporatists not with the American people.

Liberals consider themselves better than us because they are more “nuanced”.

Simplicity is not “nuanced” and therefore, inferior.

3. taxing the productive and handing it out to the unproductive and lazy.

4. increasing the number of people on food stamps/welfare, because it will improve the economy when they go out and spend that money

Brennan has always been a sleazy Obama hack. Why he gets face time is a mystery to me. Everyone knows the dirtbag’s agenda.

Do the ignorant and the simple-minded become Mohammedans?
