John Brennan: ‘A Lot of Things President Trump Does Makes Me Uncomfortable’

‘He is first and foremost a showman, and obviously a quite successful showman’

EXCERPT:

BRENNAN: “A lot of things Mr. Trump does is making me uncomfortable. He is first and foremost a showman, and obviously quite a successful showman. He is out there, on the domestic stage and on the world stage, and he is able to convince people by just repeated statements of his about what he — how he views the world and how he views — how he pursues the policies. So, I am concerned when there are issues such as the Iranian nuclear program that we had as a result of our very close work with our allies, partners, and even all the members of the U.N. Security Council had put that in a box basically. And he was trashing it and discarding it simply because he promised during the campaign he would do so and because it was his predecessor who did it. And so everything that came before Trump, in his view, is wrong."
