So, the new president is now in office, and he has had a good opportunity to make true of his promises about "Day One" and all the actions he vowed to take in the first 24 hours of his presidency.
Instead, he does what? Uses an opportunity during a meeting with the CIA staff to expand on his war with the media, embarking on a self-aggrandizing egomaniacal
rant about the mean press and the way they "lied" about... wait for it... the size of the crowd that had gathered to celebrate his inauguration. WTF?
If this is what his presidency is going to be about, America is in for a very rough ride. You don't just antagonize everybody around you, particularly not the security and intelligence services you're going to be supposed to rely upon from now on.
"Trump spent much of his speech -- which he gave in front of a memorial wall that honors the 117 CIA officers who have fallen in the line of duty -- focusing on the size of the crowd size at his inauguration, his appearance on magazine covers and saying he "has a running war with the media. "Former CIA Director Brennan is deeply saddened and angered at Donald Trump's despicable display of self-aggrandizement in front of CIA's Memorial Wall of Agency heroes," Nick Shapiro said in a statement. "Brennan
says that Trump should be ashamed of himself.""
Well, guess what. He won't be.
And by the way, there's no need to twist facts or lie about anything. The
images speak for themselves:

I understand he's all about Post-Truth, but seriously? Which universe does this moron live in?
