Itinerary Day #1 | Trump Visits CIA HQ
Was this a war time CIC winning a key battle after crossing the Potomac River or was this a gentle visit from the new POTUS making "peace" with the CIA?
A book can sometimes be judged by its cover or the preface. Our team has picked up several books, glanced at the cover, read through the preface quickly, and then set the book down. The book caught our attention for some reason, but then was quickly dismissed and deemed irrelevant.
Do you happen to know where Donald J. Trump went on his first day in office? He crossed the Potomac River and held his first public speaking event as POTUS and CIC at The George Bush Center for Intelligence where the CIA headquarters is located.
He crossed the Potomac River, huh? It all sounds quite similar to George Washington crossing the Delaware River in December 1776.

Oddly, the CIA HQ is located in an unincorporated community called Langley in the census-designated place of McLean in Fairfax County, Virginia.
Details, details, details. As the saying goes, “the devil is in the details.” Trump’s fictitious book cover might read “My time as POTUS” and the preface might read “I visited the CIA HQ on day one.” And then you and I would yawn, set the book down and move on. However, we would not be wise to do that in this case. Think logically! Why does someone do something day one in office? They do this to showcase that it is top priority.
Trump did not mess around on day one as he set up his podium right in front of the CIA Memorial Wall, where stars have been carved out of the marble wall for those who have allegedly died while serving as CIA agents. We say allegedly, only because 37 stars represent unnamed people.

102 contain names, while 37 do not.
At the time both Trump and Pence spoke at the CIA HQ, they referenced 117 CIA agents who had died in service. Pence stated:
…and to stand before this hallowed wall, this memorial wall, where we remember 117 who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
However, the pictures reveal that 125 stars were carved into the wall as of January 21, 2017.
It would appear that no stars were added to the wall in 2015 or 2016. 111 stars were reported in 2014. Does this mean that 14 CIA agents (125-111=14) lost their lives between January 1, 2017 and January 21, 2017?

So what is up with the number 29 cited in Trump’s speech and then corrected by someone in the crowd to 28? What was he referring to exactly and why the need for someone in the crowd to blurt out a correction to the President of the United States? Odd huh?

So why did Trump publicly “befriend” the CIA at this speech?

So why was Trump’s visit to the CIA so rushed and heavily redacted?

And finally, why was there an “acting” CIA director put in place ever so briefly in the early part of 2017? Our guess would be that 99% of the public might be aware of CIA Director John Brennan (Obama admin) and/or CIA Director Mike Pompeo (Trump admin), but the same 99% of the public may not know the name Meroe Park?

Meroe Park served as the Executive Director of the CIA from 2013-2017. Prior to Mike Pompeo’s confirmation as CIA director, she briefly served as “Acting” Director of the CIA in 2017. On January 27, 2020, she became Deputy Secretary and COO of the Smithsonian Institution.
The devil is in the details, right? There are really far more questions than answers from Trump’s first visit to CIA HQ as POTUS and/or Commander-in-Chief. Trump tweeted on 1/22/17 that his visit to the CIA HQ was a WIN.
So what else happens in front of the CIA Memorial Wall? Well, it appears that new agents are sworn in at this very location. Remember, this first public speaking event was an “invite only” type of thing for just 400 people.

So again, why do you think the crossing of the Potomac River to the CIA HQ was top priority for DJT? Simply put – Trump knew who the enemy was. The enemy was not another political party or a foreign country overseas. The intelligence agency undermining the Constitution of the United States was the CIA. When Trump became POTUS, he gained access to all intelligence and decided that a visit to the CIA HQ was in order. Let the historical record clearly state, POTUS Donald J. Trump did not waste one day in office identifying the enemy for the American people. Sadly, however, the American people did not notice.
History has already recorded another guy with the initials JFK who did not think so highly of the CIA.
To refresh, Tucker Carlson reported on Fox News on 12/15/22 that the CIA was involved in the assassination of JFK. This story was quickly ignored.

With all of this said, we might encourage our readers to not set this book down so fast. We are talking about hundreds of CIA operations/programs negatively affecting our lives and the lives of people across world. CIA Officer Ralph McGehee stated:
The CIA “reign of terror” includes things like: Operation Mockingbird (“Enemy of the people”), ProjectMKUltra (Mind control), In-Q-Tel (partnership between the CIA and the private sector), and the list goes on and on. Dr. Andrew Huff takes it a step further.
That’s all folks. God bless these United States of America! Enjoy the rest of the show!
