The Hill: Ex-CIA chief: Trump ‘unstable, inept, inexperienced, and also unethical’
Former CIA chief John Brennan on Friday predicted "rough waters ahead," particularly on international issues, saying President Trump is "unstable, inept, inexperienced, and also unethical."
In an interview with MSNBC's "Deadline: White House," Brennan told host Nicolle Wallace that the president was "ill prepared" to take on the duties of commander in chief, particularly growing military aggression from Russia and North Korea.
"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," Brennan said.

WNU Editor: For the entire week .... beside the above remarks from former CIA Director Brennan .... the media narrative is that the White House is in chaos, and that everyone wants to leave. I guess this New York Times article sums it up .... Trump’s Chaos Theory for the Oval Office Is Taking Its Toll (New York Times). What's my take .... and everyone who reads this blog knows that I like to take the contrarian point of view with what the media is saying .... I (of course) have a different point of view. For an administration that is in complete chaos .... they sure as hell have a done a lot in the past year .... Heritage Foundation: 64% of Trump's agenda already done, faster than Reagan (Washington Examiner). And while I have no clue on what is happening in the White House (and I would say neither does the White House Press corps) .... I do know one thing. When administrations are in chaos .... they cannot do anything. But this administration .... much to the disapproval of its opponents .... appears to be accomplishing just the opposite.
