Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said on Thursday he believes President Trump likes to intake intelligence reports on “a selective basis” and that his opinion of the intelligence community has improved because the “Nazis” have been removed from it.

Clapper made the comment on CNN in response to a clip of President Trump’s expressing confidence in his intelligence community in regards to the North Korean threat, which stands in contrast to his spending much of his campaign bashing the community. Speaking to reporters in Bedminster, N.J., Trump singled out the current head of DNI, Dan Coats, new FBI Director Christopher Wray, and CIA Director Mike Pompeo, for compliments, while slamming Pompeo’s predecessor, John Brennan.
