Rep. Mike Quigley tells Trump to 'put your ego in your pocket'

Democratic Rep. Mike Quigley of Illinois has condemned the Trump administration's response to an intelligence assessment indicating limited effectiveness of U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear capabilities. Quigley, who is a member of the House Intelligence Committee, emphasized the importance of confronting threats realistically rather than through the lens of ego. While the Defense Intelligence Agency suggested that the strikes caused only minimal damage, the White House refuted these claims, alleging the intelligence leak was designed to undermine the President. Quigley also expressed frustration over postponed briefings regarding the strikes.

You've got to put your ego in your pocket. You have to face the threats as they exist, not as the president's ego maintains.

The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump.
