Putin must be thrilled with Trump’s disregard of American intelligence. Trump keeps helping Putin accomplish his goals.
Trump is wrong on Russia, Iran, North Korea and the border with Mexico.
Dear @realDonaldTrump: Here is the written statement submitted by DNI Coates. I suggest you read it. https://t.co/NlKbj5SM0B

His testimony, both in writing and in person, shows that you are lying. https://t.co/7ym2Wajek5
Your refusal to accept the unanimous assessment of U.S. Intelligence on Iran, No. Korea, ISIS, Russia, & so much more shows the extent of your intellectual bankruptcy. All Americans, especially members of Congress, need to understand the danger you pose to our national security. https://t.co/9iV3BTKiEv

The president is trashing his intelligence leaders in response to their decision to tell the truth yesterday.

Trump, believer in the reassurances he receives from Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, calls US intelligence professionals ‘naive’

Ah, 2019.
Notice also that the intelligence officials did not repeat Trump’s nonsense about the border with Mexico such as the caravans, women who are taped up and his stupid border wall.
Everything Trump has been doing post-shutdown is to hold on to his base. Blasting intel chiefs on Iran, denying climate change, it's his greatest hits. https://t.co/m8MkpVRgMy

"Perhaps the strongest rebuke of Mr. Trump’s security priorities comes in what is missing from the report: Any rationale for building a wall along the southwest border, which Mr. Trump has advertised as among the most critical security threats facing the United States."

One big picture takeaway from this intelligence hearing: There are huge new challenges to the U.S. The president isn't talking about any of them. He's focused on the southern border, which doesn't come up in the threats assessment as a significant security issue.

Now would be a great moment for the President to thank the hard working members of the intelligence community who just delivered an important annual threat briefing.

Let me get this straight:

Trump makes up shit like "ISIS has been defeated" & "North Korea is giving up their nukes."
Then yesterday under oath, Trump's own Intel Chiefs tell the truth about ISIS & North Korea.
So this morning, Trump trashes his own Intel Chiefs.
Normal, huh?
Turns out the real audience for the intelligence community's new Threat Assessment report is our conspiracy-addled commander in chief: @maxboot https://t.co/8gSFObYSmU

Sad!
