The New York Times, in a front-page story, said that the president “wanted to splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.” Whether that quote is accurate or not we don’t know, but it makes sense that after the agency damaged the president’s reputation so badly, he would react with such anger. If you are a student of history, you already know that the president who swore a vendetta against the Central Intelligence Agency wasn’t Donald Trump, but John F. Kennedy, and that although he did not abolish the agency before his assassination, he did fire its director, Allen Dulles, in an effort to gain control over what was considered a rogue agency that had forced Kennedy’s hand in the Bay of Pigs disaster. The tangled tentacles of the CIA’s machinations wind their way throughout President Kennedy’s shortened term in office, from the Bay of Pigs through the Mafia assassination attempts against Fidel Castro to Kennedy’s own assassination, and then reappear in the Watergate break-in (five of the so-called Watergate “burglars” had connections to the CIA) and in the secret White House tapes where President Nixon is heard telling his chief of staff to tell CIA director Richard Helms that the arrest of the burglars is “likely to blow the whole Bay of Pigs thing which we think would be very unfortunate for CIA and the country at this time, and for American foreign policy.”

Also, the silver disappeared from the quarters and dimes in 1964, right after his assassination.
Oh well, I am sure it is nothing.
Trump and JFK Are More Alike Than We Like to Think

Colonel Flagg says: “I have nothing to do with intelligence!”
LOL! Yes! That’s the episode I was thinking of when I posted.
Bobby Kennedy had it in for the CIA.
Look what happened to him.
JFK never trusted the CIA and left the CIA out on a limb at the Bay of Pigs invasion.
Look what happened to him.
And very strange things happened to Oswald and Jack Ruby.
I worry about Trump.
JFK.
LBJ.
J. EDGAR and Oswald.
Swamp is getting bigger.
If the CIA gave a damn about our country they would find the people leaking classified information to the press with the intent of taking down a duly elected President of the United States.
If they’re NOT going after criminal leakers, they’re worthless.
Interesting comments.
Have you by chance ever seen any part of the report of the psychologist who examined Sirhan S? Under hypnosis, he responded to verbal and physical cues to take a shooting position, and wrote out some weird repetitive stuff. The psychologist concluded that S had been worked on psychologically prior to the event in question. Creepy stuff. And he clearly had a 1 or more handlers with him before and during the event.
Yes, it could happen, and they’ve already justified it by painting Trump as insane 24/7.
If you’re a betting man, put your money on Trump. He’s going to win this!
MK ULTRA.
Trump did not "double cross" the Mafia like the Kennedys did ...
They would never get away with it because of the changed dimensionality of information flow.
Trump’s War With CIA Was Preceded By Kennedy’s

EO 11110?
My links go to his two Annual Economic Reports. The EO you linked to is part of his same policy of doing away with silver certificates.
The odd part is that in his reports to Congress he advocates using the Treasury silver thereby “freed up” for silver coinage. But the act of ceasing silver certs had the natural consequence of doing away with silver coinage, otherwise you end up with one of those arbitrage situations between currency and coins.
