Krauthammer: Trump Understand Fight with Intel Agencies Is a ‘Losing Proposition’

‘I think his statement today was a good one’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KRAUTHAMMER: "I think Trump understands that the fight he is and is a losing proposition. He is in what should be the honeymoon period of his presidency. He is supposed to start when he is sworn in, supposed to be anticipated, like most presidents, start with the wind at their back. He has been so involved with so many issues, so many tweets, that it is as if the marriage has already started. And this is not something he can win because they are so many Republicans who are concerned about the intelligence and don’t want to denigrate it or diminish it. I think his statement today was a good one. We had a good meeting, he didn’t say I accept or don’t accept, but he said I take it seriously enough and will order an investigation, for 90 days, a general one into cyber attacks. We are going to be tough on this. That’s fine. He needs for this debate to stop stop. The details about what Russians are doing here in Germany and France and elsewhere is, but it should not be trump versus the world. It sort of reminds Leo when he got into the fight — one you can only lose, a personal one, and I think he understands he has got to let it go and I think that is very smart to do."
