Trump breaks it, Trump owns it

He believes Assange instead of the billion dollar, patriotic US intelligence services.  Huh? 

Now there are hints that he is going to reorganize the intelligence agencies.  Huh?  Homeland Security was the result of improvements felt necessary after 9/11.  Trump does remember that, doesn't he?

He doesn't even take security briefings that might help him make accurate evaluations.  Who is he listening to?  General Flynn? - who was fired during the Obama Administration - was said to have been combative during Trump's initial intelligence briefing.  That tells us a lot.

Remember, God willing to include the next 16 days, there has been no major international terrorism attack during the Obama Presidency.  While very serious domestic terrorist attacks - Boston Marathon and California - there was no repeat of 9/11.  And many potential attacks were thwarted.

Trump said he alone could fix it.  Huh?  What are American international allies and adversaries thinking about this nonsense?  They are certainly NOT saying or thinking, gee, isn't the USA o the right course.  Of course not!  They are smarter than the Trump ego.

Between his views on Russian hacking and his disrespect for US intelligence agencies, is the US even fundamentally safe?
