so, potus called intelligence officials, quote, extremely passive and naive, in his latest effort to undermine the people he put in place to keep us safe. why? because the people who gather all the knowledge that our government uses gave assessments that are the different than what the president says are threats to this country. including iran and its nuclear capability. the president noted, their economy is crashing which is the only thing holding them back. perhaps intelligence should go back to school. hmm. does potus know school and economics better than he knows, say, grammar? it s not new that this president would undermine his own staff for his own gain. what is new is that the intel officials picked by trump did something that we ve never seen. all of them in a united front contradicted him in public. not in private, not one by one, in public for the world to hear. at tuesday s senate intelligence hearing.
deliver on. time and time again we have seen maga turned out to be something that spreads division or, as it does here, disillusionment. the president can say he can bring back factories but the facts and economics and his own experience as president suggest otherwise. secondly, the president should not be trying to take us back to a bygone economic era. the right portrays the suggestion as a slap to the working man and woman. no. the slap is hiding the reality, feeding false hope to good people who need a break, retraining, education, incentivizing new industries here, cutting deals like tpp to access foreign markets with our own manufactured goods. trump has done none of that. tell the truth. confront the truth. realize that there are new challenges and take the steps that take our workers and our economy forward. that is progress. that will make us greater still. the future will never lie in the
suggested by maga. if we go back to how it was, we ll be better. can t happen. oh, yeah, says the administration. then how do we add 473,000 manufacturing jobs since trump took office, returning us to the levels of 2007? first, more jobs, more better. it s great to see growth. but is the reason for that growth continued recovery from the great recession or trump being great? well, for proof of the latter, let s look at two of his signature achievements. remember the carrier plant in indiana? trump took credit, saving 1,100 jobs from being sent to mexico. he says it was his ability to convince business to return, make good deals, make it better for them here. result, hundreds of jobs cut anyh anyhow, and they moved guess where? mexico. does this mean trump is bad? not necessarily. it means he misled you about the realities of the modern economy. that s just a one-off say trump
say, grammar? it s not new that this president would undermine his own staff for his own gain. what is new is that the intel officials picked by trump did something that we ve never seen. all of them in a united front contradicted him in public. not in private, not one by one, in public for the world to hear. the heads of the cia and the fbi shot down some of the president s most recent statements on truly pressing issues. in particular, the director of national intelligence dan coats. take, for instance, what the president recently said about isis. we have won against isis. isis is intent on resurging and still commands thousands of fighters in iraq and syria. we just learned this venneve the president singled out dan coats by name during a morning rant. the problem with this disagreement is that only one side knows what the hell it s talking about. with all due respect, the president has evidenced zero
there and because it would frustrate the simple solution suggested by maga. if we go back to how it was, we ll be better. can t happen. oh, yeah, says the administration. then how do we add 473,000 manufacturing jobs since trump took office, returning us to the levels of 2007? first, more jobs, more better. it s great to see growth. but is the reason for that growth continued recovery from the great recession or trump being great? well, for proof of the latter, let s look at two of his signature achievements. remember the carrier plant in indiana? trump took credit, saving 1,100 jobs from being sent to mexico. he says it was his ability to convince business to return, make good deals, make it better for them here. result, hundreds of jobs cut anyhow, and they moved guess where? mexico. does this mean trump is bad? not necessarily.
