Trump isn't exactly friendly with the CIA. His relationship with the CIA was marked by deep suspicion and frequent public attacks. Trump often accused the intelligence community of working against him and undermining his administration, especially over investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election. He publicly disparaged CIA officials and even compared the intelligence community's actions to those of "Nazi Germany." Trump cut CIA workforce and spending, dismissed officers involved in diversity initiatives, and showed support for controversial positions like bringing back torture. His mistrust and criticism led to strained interactions with CIA leadership and concerns about morale and operational security within the agency. Not to mention when he blew the cover of an untold number of CIA agents, a direct betrayal.
Trump's hostility was even more direct with the FBI. He publicly questioned the agency's integrity, calling its reputation "worst in history," and fired FBI Director James Comey, labeling him a liar and leaker. Trump accused the FBI of illegal activities like wiretapping his campaign and removed multiple top FBI officials. He demanded lists of employees involved in investigations connected to his alleged misconduct and disparaged the bureau's motives and credibility on various occasions. All this shit fueled a significant decline in morale and trust within the FBI, contributing to a contentious and adversarial relationship between Trump and the bureau throughout his tenure.
I remember hearing in an interview, something along the lines of a suggestion that the CIA could take some kind of action against Trump for all his bullshit. The former CIA employee only said "there are a lot of good boys at the CIA and they're doing what they're supposed to" but he said it with a tone that implied that their patience was being tested by Trump's vitriol... And that interview was done during Trump's first term, before he turned into the tangerine tyrant.
I can only imagine what they're up to now, especially if they're serious about either upholding the constitution or maintaining the status quo. I get the impression that they are probably fans of both.
