He's already shown his disrespect for the CIA by saying that the Russian hacking wasn't true. Nothing else would surprise me about this man. His know all arrogance is frightening

And the challenge with Trump will be how will he act once inaugurated. How will he react if China seizes US military drones and accuses the US of espionage? How will he react if there are violent clashes between Trump protesters and Trump supporters? How will he react if he's perceived to be slighted by another world leader?

His style in his business dealings and during the campaign has been a disproportionately aggressive reaction - that won't fare well in a global political environment, especially one where he doesn't acknowledge his limited understanding of political policies. And criticizing agencies that present information that he doesn't want to hear, will simply exacerbate the situation further.

(Oh, and btw, the FBI and the DNI have apparently issued a statement saying that they agree with the CIA)

Maybe Congress can pass a resolution that the president should close his Twitter account.

The problem being that as a major international business mogul for many years the practice of having to listen to advisors who disagree with his decisions and policies might not come easily to him. In the world of Trump Corp you do not question the decisions of the Donald under any circumstances. At 70 years of age after a lifetime in such an environment change and adaptability could be a challenge

I agree a huge difference running private business and running the executive branch though in a business the size of Trump organization certainly he has had to delegate, and his public persona sometimes unclear what is just promoting a certain image vs in reality how he manages.

I would be more concerned his apparent lack of knowledge in world affairs combined with (1)what seems to be a short term attention or memory problem (2) an obstructionist Congress, whether he will be able to do much.

Don't worry, Gingrich is on the case and wants to change the ethics laws as they shouldn't apply to the Trumpster

Why wasn't this an issue with Obama who had no management experience of any kind?
