Everyone cheered. EVERYONE!
Bad actors used to hire claques to clap for their bad performances in the 17th century French theatre.
Make claques great again.
Does DT think he can fool all the people all the time, when he hasn’t succeeded yet in fooling anyone but some 70,000 or so deluded voters in WI, MI and PA?
If the point of this speech was to win over the intelligence community, it would seem he failed spectacularly.
Fucking Unbelievable
When I keep thinking
It can’t be worse than I imagine.
It can’t be a bigger sham.
He can’t be that shallow.
Proved wrong again and again and again
He gets bored and likes to watch TV, this person said, so it is important to minimize that.

Oh Jesus Christ. I would have thought that 16 years of buffoon tolerance (1981-1989 + 2001-2009) would have prepared me for this shit…
So, Trump and his entourage stacked the crowd, had raucous staffers stand by to create the volume, and proceeded to treat the and audience of Central Intelligence Agency leadership and employees as though they have no innate intelligence.
If it was all stage craft, who is the intended audience? Members of the media (Intimidation), the general public (assuage concerns about the rift between the administration and the Intelligence community), Putin’s Kleptocracy machine (showing off that they are utilizing the stage-craft as suggested?) While I am being facetious, I really do wonder who is/was the intended target audience.

That was trial runs ! Be prepared for the real stuff !
Wanted: Sycophants. Applications available at the Trump White House. No experience necessary other than to know how to clap like a trained seal. Signing bonus included.
And they all knew those people were placed there .
Trump , if there was one group of people I would go out of my way NOT to piss off…
Is that a new federal job? Accompany the new POS to cheer for his pronouncements?
Two word that explain everything: Micro Penis.
All Right America! Coming at ya folks!
Do we know when the speech was first announced? It seems like Trump wanted to be out of the White House on Saturday, and this whole debacle - ratings, crowd photo trutherism, and all - simply followed from that.
Kim Jong Trump?
This is the kind of psychological warfare that the CIA would use to destabilize foreign governments… amazing that Trump actually used those tactics while speaking to the CIA.
No surprise here. To every event, Trump will take his alternate audience to cheer.
