~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of Trump's biggest problems is that he has made some very powerful enemies in his campaign to win the presidency.  Diplomacy in dealing with adversaries is not one of his strong points. 
 
He has repeatedly criticized US intelligence agencies, saying that they are ineffective, politicized, and sometimes lack credibility.  He has promised to revamp them, which would entail firing people at the top. 
 
Senator Chuck Schumer, a progressive Democrat and no friend of Trump, issued a chilling comment about the many ways intelligence agencies have of getting back at Trump.
 
Appearing on “The Rachel Maddow Show,” Schumer said, “Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday to get back at you. So, even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he is being really dumb to do this.”
 
“What do you think the intelligence community would do if they were motivated to?” Maddow asked.
 
“I don’t know, but from what I am told, they are very upset with how he has treated them and talked about them,” Schumer replied.
