"Nobody" including the CIA.
Almost as hilarious as the other day when he said members of the Federal Reserve "they're not (his) people" even though he nominated four of the five.
Trump does not even have a passing relationship with the truth. He is not just a bald-faced liar, he is deeply delusional and dangerously uninformed.
It is an embarrassment he is POTUS.

And the Democrats could very well do it again.

Complain and cry about Trump all you want, but it is time for the Democrat Party to get serious about actually winning.
Here's a v-e-r-y good column from today's Detroit News:

Hillary was a centrist. On policy she was very similar to Joe Biden. Nominating a centrist like Biden would be trying the same thing as in '16, but hoping it works this time because he's a man. It might lol. But I'd much rather see someone run against Trump with actual policies like Medicare for All, tuition free public college, anti-corruption policy, Green New Deal. And to be clear, you listed four "nut-job" policies:
70 percent income tax: AOC suggested a 70% tax rate on earnings above $10m. I want that. Warren is campaigning on a 2% wealth tax on wealth over $50m. I like that too. No one wants to tax anybody in the 99% at 70%.
Voting Rights for Incarcerated Felons: This is good
Abortion as Birth Control at any time for any reason: Show me who has a plan for this (nobody)
No Borders or Immigration Policy: Show me who is saying this (nobody in elected office)
Also, the alt-left isn't shooting up schools and mosques and churches. To look at people who are fighting toward a decent standard of living for everyone as "just as dangerous as" people who fear a White Genocide and thus want to establish a white ethno-state is evidence of deep moral rot.

You repeat that mantra to ad nauseam Phil. What you're purposefully overlooking is that he beat a plethora of candidates to get the GOP nomination as well.
To that note, I don't care WHY or HOW he got there. The problem now is, he's there, and he's a NOW PROBLEM. Not a tomorrow problem, not a "let's talk about society and why they elected him" problem. He's off his nut, he's dangerous, and he's in charge of the free world.

It's about winning the election, not what far left policies you want to see. When I was a kid, the dems put up a candidate against Nixon who was their liberal, far left ideal. Nixon won in an epic landslide.

Totally! Reminds me of so many historical precedents. Like when Confederacy Derangement Syndrome did such damage to the USA in the early 1860s. Or like when so many Europeans began suffering from Nazi Derangement Syndrome and nearly destroyed Europe. Or like when Gandhi got that bad case of British Empire Derangement Syndrome. Or like when tons of people in the USA got Jim Crow Derangement Syndrome in the 50's and 60's.
It's like Christ is always saying in the Bible, "Just chill. Stuff is not that bad you guys! Don't worry about it. It's fine!"
