Trump's Actions Weaken CIA, Threaten National Security | JQJO

Tim Weiner, author of 'Legacy of Ashes' and 'The Mission', expresses concern over the CIA's condition under the Trump administration. He highlights Trump's hostility towards the agency, leading to the appointment of incompetent and loyalist officials. This includes the purging of experienced officers and a disregard for diversity, weakening the agency's effectiveness. Weiner fears this jeopardizes national security, citing the potential for misjudgment and the weakening of alliances. While not a CIA defender, he worries about the administration's willful ignorance of foreign threats and the danger posed by the president's actions.
