"CBS News confirmed reports that President Donald Trump brought a studio audience to his visit with the CIA on Saturday. The news agency reports that an official said the visit left a wake of "unease," “made relations with the intelligence community worse," and was “uncomfortable.” "

Intelligence people were “stunned” and “offended by the president’s tone,” CBS reports. “U.S. government sources tell CBS News that there is a sense of unease in the intelligence community after President Trump’s visit to CIA headquarters on Saturday.”
Who?
-
Yes, and many world leaders have covertly used body doubles for security reasons.
For me, the REAL news is that Pres Trump complained about the media reporting on his crowd size.
Yup, the new President whined while standing in front of the Wall of fallen heroes (stars).

I was prepared to call this liberal fake new and applaud it, but I clicked the link to CBS and they are reporting this:
-Authorities are also pushing back against the perception that the CIA workforce was cheering for the president. They say the first three rows in front of the president were largely made up of supporters of Mr. Trump’s campaign.
- Also sitting in the first several rows in front of the president was the CIA’s senior leadership, which was not cheering the remarks.
-There were about 400 members of the workforce who RSVP’d for the event out of thousands who received an invitation in their email late last week. Officials dismiss White House claims that there were people waiting to get into the event.
-
Trump's a closet dictator, and a Dem plant.
-
In press conference they guy said Trump received 5 minutes standing ovation from CIA.
-
Who?
"Anonymous sources"
"Senior government official...."
"An unnamed source..."
-
Less than 1 year.

I already thought the CIA speech was weird and completely tone deaf (par for the course for Trump) but if this is true then we're truly in BIZZARO WORLD now.
BTW - some outlets reported that the Trump Crime Family wanted missles and tanks to be part of the inaugural parade and the military told him no.

Googled it. Never mind.

It seemed like an absurd claim but this is Trump we're talking about so anything could be true.

especially given his public mancrush on Putin and his tweets about wanting to start a new arms race
-
I still find this story about Trump bringing his own "audience" to the CIA to be hard to believe

CBS is actually reporting this

An official said the visit “made relations with the intelligence community worse” and described the visit as “uncomfortable.”
Authorities are also pushing back against the perception that the CIA workforce was cheering for the president. They say the first three rows in front of the president were largely made up of supporters of Mr. Trump’s campaign.
An official with knowledge of the make-up of the crowd says that there were about 40 people who’d been invited by the Trump, Mike Pence and Rep. Mike Pompeo teams. The Trump team expected Rep. Pompeo, R-Kansas, to be sworn in during the event as the next CIA director, but the vote to confirm him was delayed on Friday by Senate Democrats. Also sitting in the first several rows in front of the president was the CIA’s senior leadership, which was not cheering the remarks.
Officials acknowledge that Mr. Trump does have his supporters within the CIA workforce, many of whom were interspersed among the rank and file standing off to the president’s right.
There were about 400 members of the workforce who RSVP’d for the event out of thousands who received an invitation in their email late last week. Officials dismiss White House claims that there were people waiting to get into the event.
Intelligence sources say many in the workforce were stunned and at times offended by the president’s tone which seemed to evolve into a version of speeches he’d used on the campaign trail.
The intelligence community sees itself as above politics even though as president-elect, Mr. Trump was critical of it and accused it of politically motivated leaks.
The CIA was Mr. Trump’s first official agency visit for a reason, it was to signal a new beginning. At the outset of the speech, the president expressed his support for the CIA, “There is nobody that feels stronger about the intelligence community and the CIA than Donald Trump.”
But it is what he said later in front of the CIA’s revered Memorial Wall (a monument to CIA officers killed in the line of duty) -- complaints about the media’s coverage of his relationship with the intelligence community and its assessments of the crowd size at his inauguration -- that may be harder to erase from the minds of the intelligence community

can we acknowledge that there isn't anyone with the gall to put their name behind this report.
Sounds like a 240 hit piece. my sources... those in the intelligence community... BS.
If this is true, be men about it.

why would anyone in the intelligence community be dumb enough to allow their name to be used given the penchant for JackASS in Chief to retaliate against anyone who doesn't worship him
it certainly wouldn't be too difficult to observe Trump entourage of sycophants as they showed up and then disbursed themselves among the audience
That speech was downright disrespectful and creepy

so these "VERIFIED" reports will go on as nameless.
Talk about disrespectful. Like I said before, they are cowards.
