Trump doesn’t seem to have a lot of faith in America’s intelligence agencies. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“Donald Trump, who got his first classified intelligence briefing Wednesday, said he probably wouldn't rely on the critical information anyway if he were elected.

"Very easy to use them, but I won't use them, because they've made such bad decisions," he told "Fox and Friends," referring to the supposed weapons of mass destruction that led President George W. Bush to go to war in Iraq.

"If we would have never touched it, it would have been a lot better," Trump said.

Asked whether he trusted the classified intelligence he was about to be given access to, Trump told the network, "Not so much from the people that have been doing it for our country. I mean, look what's happened over the last 10 years ... it's been catastrophic.''

Trump, nevertheless, was spotted heading into the FBI's New York City field office in Lower Manhattan Wednesday afternoon, riding in a massive motorcade for the supposedly covert meeting.

Two of the mogul's top confidants — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and retired Lt. Gen Michael Flynn — both reportedly accompanied Trump to the briefing.”
