Former CIA director John Brennan, a frequent critic of Donald Trump, weighed in Monday on a variety of national security topics at Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.
Brennan expressed concern about Trump’s susceptibility to flattery by foreign leaders and penchant for name-calling in the “twittersphere” as being unproductive to American foreign policy, specifically as it relates to North Korea.
Before his appearance in the Ringling College Library Association Town Hall Lecture series, Brennan was asked about Trump calling him and others “political hacks.”
