Donald Trump resurfaced on television and immediately humiliated himself by attacking the CIA while appearing on Fox News.

In an interview with NBC News, CIA Director John Brennan said that he would not allow the return of waterboarding.

Brennan said, “I will not agree to carry out some of these tactics and techniques I’ve heard bandied about because this institution needs to endure.”

Trump responded on Fox and Friends by attacking the CIA for not wanting to torture people.

Trump said, “Well I think his comments are ridiculous. I mean, they chop off heads and they drown people in cages with 50 in cage in big steel, heavy cages, drop ‘em right into the water, drown people and we can’t waterboard and we can’t do anything. You know, we’re playing on different fields, and we have a huge problem with ISIS, which we can’t beat. And the reason we can’t beat them is because we can’t use strong tactics, whether it’s this or other things So I think his comments are ridiculous. Can you imagine these ISIS people sitting around, eating and talking about this country won’t allow waterboarding and they just chopped off 50 heads?”

Trump’s attack on the CIA was more proof that he has no idea how government really works. If elected to be the next president, Donald Trump assumed that he could order people to do things, and they would be done. However, the public sector is not the private sector. As president, Trump would not be able to throw money and threats around to get his own way.

The Republican frontrunner’s answer on Fox News was humiliating because it put on full display Trump’s complete ignorance. The presidential campaign has gotten to the point where Donald Trump is embarrassing himself on a daily basis. On Sunday, Trump complained that the delegate allocation system was rigged because he didn’t understand the rules and failed to build a campaign that could win delegates at state conventions.

Donald Trump has proven himself to be a danger to national security, and his attack on the CIA is proof that the man who has amassed the most delegates in the Republican primary is an embarrassing disgrace who is unfit for the White House.
