Former CIA Director and vocal Trump critic John Brennan on Monday took to Twitter to announce that he now plans “to ignore Trump,†and will “leave his fate to our judicial system, his infamy to history, & his legacy to a trash heap.â€
“For four years, I spoke out vigorously against Donald Trump’s craven dishonesty, corrupt pursuit of personal interests, & trampling of our democratic principles,†Brennan, who served under the Obama administration, began in a series of tweets. “After serving over three decades in national security, I felt compelled to condemn Trump’s depravity & incompetence.â€
“My outspokenness has brought criticism, retaliation by the Trump Administration, & threats by those blinded by Trump’s demagoguery,†he continued. “Yes, it is unusual for a former CIA Director to speak out, but when an autocrat descended upon the White House, silence was not an option for me.â€
“I now plan to ignore Trump,†Brennan added. “I leave his fate to our judicial system, his infamy to history, & his legacy to a trash heap.â€
