‘Trump Is Wounded’

Former CIA director John Brennan told NBC News that the anonymous op-ed in the New York Times shows “the depth of concern within the administration…about what is happening and the extraordinary steps that individuals are willing to take…to prevent disasters.”

However, he added: “It’s active insubordination…born out of loyalty to the country, not to Donald Trump. This is not sustainable to have an executive branch, where individuals are not following the orders of the chief executive.”

Brennan also said: “I do think things will get worse before they get better. I don’t know how Donald Trump is going to react to this. A wounded lion is a very dangerous animal and I think Donald Trump is wounded.”
