He got elected by wanting to draining the swamp, and a key part of his supporters were also big believers in the shadow state, much of which is around the intelligence area. It is good politics to play that area.
However, he has also been shown as a war mongering President, which ultimately relies on intelligence reports to build his case for wars and bombings, as well as his anti-nuclear proliferation agenda.
He also wants to make good with Putin and build some sort of relationship and partnership. The intelligence community does not want that to happen,,either truthfully or through lies (likely a mixture of both). Putin has been part of and is currently controlling a deep state of his own.
Trump has done a reasonable job of balancing the two so far...able to play the Hillary supporting FBI that fit his agenda, and use intelligence to go after Iran and N Korea among others. Russia was always a nuisance, but did not have to deal directly.
Those two paths collided this week, and he got caught in the middle. Will be interesting how it moves forward, but he screwed up twice..IMO...one at the press conference, then trying to change his message with a double negative excuse
