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

Posted on 03/07/2018 10:11:12 AM PST by detective

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.”

Obama made 'simple minded policy' into complex policy. For example,

They called "quantitative easing":
a complicated Harvard MBA level concept (with a fancy complicated name too).

The implementation of "quantitative easing":
1) Print Money.
2) Buy treasury bonds with the money

Even knowing how much to print wasn't complicated. If the treasury was going to be short $60 Billion a month they printed $60 billion a month. Only a Harvard grad can think that's complicated financial policy.

Brennan has taken the CIA across the Rubicon.

America’s head spook, assassin and plotter has just declared he is also a highly partisan and political animal. Brennan has told the world who is is (and was while in office) and has said to the DC establishment: its OK to be political.

It is extremely unprecedented and ominous for the future American politics. Until now, CIA Directors, regardless of their opinions, simply kept quiet as they at least maintained the pretense of unbiased national servants.

I feel I am the only one who sees the extreme danger of what he is doing.

He probably knows a lot about Sharia-compliant financing. And Jizzya. And halal pizza. And about the duty to kill the animal after intercourse with it.

As opposed to Barack's brilliant zero-growth 8 years.

I wonder how much of Obama's $900 billion Stimulus package money made it's way into Brennan's offshore bank accounts.

The nation sure doesn't have anything to show for all the money that disappeared into vapor during the Obama regime.

John 'bint Hussein' Brennan, take the extra money you are making from DJT's tax cuts, fly back to SA, buy a new 'Sajjāda' and move to Mecca, permanently. They will appreciate the presence of your foul hide, more than intelligent Americans (and Canadians) do!


"Buh bye, 'bint Obama' Brennan, buh bye!"

Rare? He attacks Trump daily... which is amazing for someone who headed an agency which was supposed to be above politics. But then, Brennan was an actual Stalinist.

I think Brennan is neck deep in the Clinton-Dossier Scandal.

He made no secret of his dislike of Trump. He was the one to went to Capital Hill in late August 2016 to meet with Harry Reid and “inform” him about “Russian collusion”, and a few days later, Reid is calling for an investigation by the FBI.

Torches and pitchforks.

One of my favorite replies from the Obama era was how excited all those laid off IT guys were going to be at the prospect of the “shovel ready jobs.”

I’m waiting for Brennan to say “He’s no Gus Hall.”

This guy should be tried and hanged.

I strongly disagree. He should be hung and then tried.

There’s a very old saying; ‘you know you’re over the right target when you start taking on flak.’ (paraphrased?!?)
