Obama’s CIA boss Brennan rips Trump’s ‘ignorance’ and ‘simple minded’ economic policies
« on: March 07, 2018, 09:04:02 pm »

Former CIA chief John Brennan made a rare appearance on Twitter Wednesday to lash out at President Donald Trump over “ignorance” that threatens U.S. prosperity.

The commander in chief’s recent talk of possible steel and aluminum tariffs prompted a social-media jab by Mr. Brennan this week. The post — 1 of 18 total tweets, with the vast majority related to Mr. Trump or the U.S. Russia probe — questioned the president’s economic acumen.

“You show an amazing albeit unsurprising ignorance of how technology, automation, and the attendant evolution of economics and societies have transformed the world,” Mr. Brennan, who served under former President Obama, wrote. “Your simple minded policies — imposition of tariffs — have the potential to seriously damage our future prosperity.”

Brennan thinks we can negotiate with Iran and the Islamic world in general.  He’s got a lot of nerve talking about ignorance.

I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Given the past 100 years or so of failed tariffs, it seems like Brennan’s assessment of “ignorance” and “simple minded policies” is a pretty accurate assessment.  I think these “simple minded policies” are why Gary Cohn just resigned, and why Trump economic adviser, Stephen Moore, has spoken out against the tariffs.
