Donald Trump has stayed faithful campaign-trail kind, using his personal Twitter account instead of his freshly acquired handle @POTUS on Sunday to praise his own performance during a meeting with intelligence officers and dismiss the worldwide protests against his presidency.
A little once 7 am ET, the president tweeted:
Had a good meeting at Central Intelligence Agency Headquarters yesterday, packed house, paid nice regard to Wall, long standing ovations, wonderful folks. WIN!
Trump spoke on Saturday at the Langley, Virginia Central Intelligence Agency HQ before of the memorial wall for officers killed in the line of duty.
The speech met with laughter and clapping from an audience composed mostly of Central Intelligence Agency staffers. On Saturday night, however, the recently retired CIA director John Brennan communicated through a former aide that he was “deeply saddened and angry at Trump’s despicable show of self-aggrandizement” in front of the memorial wall.
Trump’s decide to succeed Brennan, Representative Mike Pompeo, has been delayed in the Senate, wherever Democrats have expressed concern over his position on the use of torture.
Trump failed to mention the massive protests against his presidency that were held on Saturday in Washington, New York, Chicago, several different United States of America cities and much more across the world.
The marches and also the size of crowds for Trump’s inauguration on Friday were the topic of a remarkable and wide criticized appearance by the president’s press secretary, Sean Spicer, at the White House early on Saturday evening.
Spicer harangued the press concerning allegedly misleading the state regarding the audience for Trump’s inauguration, then refused to take questions and left.
Many news sources printed refutations of Spicer’s claims. The New York Times, citing “people familiar with Mr. Trump’s thinking” reported that the president thought Spicer had “gone too far.”
Trump, however, turned to the topic on Sunday morning, tweeting:
Watched protests yesterday, however, was under the impression that we just had an election! Why did not these individuals vote? Celebs hurt cause poorly.
Celebrities as well as Madonna, Janelle Monae and Michael Moore self-addressed crowds in Washington on Saturday. Organizers told the Guardian they calculable over 1,000,000 individuals had attended.
Trump lost the national collective vote to Hillary Clinton by nearly three million ballots, however, won the presidency in the electoral college.
Trump later added: “Peaceful protests are a trademark of our democracy. Although I don’t forever agree, I recognize the rights of individuals to precise their views.”
On Sunday, the president conjointly tweeted concerning TV ratings for his inauguration on weekday. “Wow, television ratings simply out,” he wrote. “31 million individuals watched the Inauguration, eleven million over the excellent ratings from 4 years ago!”
His comparison was with Barack Obama’s second inauguration, an occasion inevitably less watched than his 1st that attracted crowds of a similar size to Saturday’s Women’s March on Washington.
