Former CIA Chief John Brennan Calls Trump

‘Unstable, Inept, Inexperienced, And Also
Unethical’

The ex-CIA chief also blasted Trump for addressing Alec Baldwin on
Twitter rather than responding to Putin and his newly developed missiles.

After another tumultuous week in Washington, D.C.,

former CIA chief John Brennan had some harsh words for
Donald Trump and his performance in the White House.
Brennan sat down with of MSNBC’s Dateline: White
Patricia
Ramirez House on Friday, and his discussion with host Nicolle
Wallace quickly veered toward Trump’s perceived
presidendial shortcomings.

As The Hill reports, former CIA chief Brennan, who held

his post under President Barack Obama, was quick to
point out that Trump’s lack of political experience made
him “ill prepared” to fill the role of president. Brennan
added that the current geopolitical climate, including the
blatant aggression of North Korea and Russia, have clearly
illustrated that Trump may be attempting to handle a job
well above his skill set. According to John Brennan, the
United States will likely face “rough waters ahead,” largely
due to the inexperience of Donald Trump, who he called
“unstable, inept, inexperienced, and also unethical.”

“
“It is no secret to anybody that Donald Trump was very ill prepared
and unexperienced in terms of dealing with matters that a head of
state needs to deal with, head of government, and I think this is
now coming to roost.”

Great interview although I must say, what he had to say

“Our country needs to have confidence that we’re going to be able
to deal with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, who is flexing his
muscles once again on the military front, that we can deal with
North Korea, that we can deal with these issues. And if we have
somebody in the Oval Office who is — we really have rough waters
ahead.”

In addition to slamming Trump for his lack of political

and presidential experience, John Brennan blasted the
sitting president for spending his time posting about
Saturday Night Live actor Alec Baldwin (who satirizes
Trump on the show) as opposed to directly addressing
Putin and his newly-announced and potentially
catastrophic weapon. On March 2, Trump took to Twitter
to attack Baldwin, claiming his performance was “agony”
for those “forced to watch.”

Ex-CIA chief Brennan blasted Trump’s seemingly skewed

priorities, adding that many Americans are dealing with a
constant feeling that their existence has become “surreal.”
Brennan claimed that Trump, in addition to being
investigated for potentially colluding with Russia during
the presidential election, has also “failed to contain” the
nation. Putin claims that his nation’s newest weapon has
the potential of hitting nearly any target on the planet.

“
“When I hear what Vladimir Putin was saying just yesterday about
the nuclear capabilities he has, the president of the United States is
tweeting about Alec Baldwin this morning, I mean, where is your
sense of priorities? I think a lot of Americans are looking at what’s
happening with a sense of — this is surreal.”
