    Trump is beyond hated by the intellegence community. Everything you hear that relates to him being a Russian puppet is almost certainly part of a coordinated effort between the likes of an Adam Schiff type and some randos in the intelligence world.

    The big reason they don't like him is he's fucking things up re their long held strategies around NATO and Russia (they're fine with what he's doing around China as any distaste there comes from wall street). The Russia stuff per some conversations I've had seems to do more with how they're helping out Snowden whose the mortal enemy of these people as the top thing, and as a more minor thing is Putin's involvement in Syria (as not everyone in the IC is an Israel hawk and that's the only major reason to get rid of Assad), not because Russia represents any meaningful threat.

      I thought the CIA had both a liberal faction and conservative one that were basically fighting it out for control of the CIA? Anyways the bit about trump being a CIA asset is mostly me joking around, just imagine how funny it would be

        The conservative faction of the CIA is far more loyal to people like John Bolton, the Bush family, ect. than they are to Trump. Maybe some of them were pro Trump in the beginning, but he's made their jobs harder rather than easier.

        Per everything I saw in 2015-2016, the Republican foreign policy hawks wanted the most by far was Rubio as many felt that Jeb Bush would ignore Latin America just like his brother had.
