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.”

When Brennan uses the possessive pronoun “our” here, he is obviously referring to himself and his Deep State pals.

Why do people abbreviate Harris’s first name as if it’s a rank? He was not in the military; his first name is Leiutenant (sic).

Mr. Trump

I love how the LSM referes to R presidents as "Mr." but Dems are ALWAYS "President So and So."

Hung is the past tense and past participle of hang in most of that verb’s senses. For instance, yesterday you might have hung a picture on the wall, hung a right turn, and hung your head in sorrow. The exception comes where hang means to put to death by hanging. The past tense and past participle of hang in this sense, and only in this sense, is hanged.

so Brennen is an investment and commodities expert now?

I imagine the 500 US steel workers being called back to killer-pay jobs, are really depressed.

And the small mills that constantly have to stop runs because they can’t get steel deliveries (or the steel is substandard), are probably crying in their beers, too.

Go US Steel!

So....

One of Obama’s paid LIARS pretends he has the capacity to explain economics?

If we were to accept that he did understand economics, then we’d have to believe that Obama’s policies were intentional sabotage of the U.S. economy.

Great. Then he should still be hanged first and then face a trial!

Shut up Brennan. Obama’s economy sucked. Trump's is going very well. You and your fellow government workers, including most in elected office, represent the airheads of society. Most of you are incompetent at pretty much everything you try to do, which is why you're in politics. It's the only venue in which being a good bs’er can make up for your pathetic incompetence.

I believe he is a convert. He was depicted in 0 Dark Thirty as one - “the wolf”. Total partisan hack imo.
