As for torture, your two points are confusing, leaving aside that I would be very interested to see where you get the US intelligence community vouching for torture "working". By definition, any person in office will be delegating and supporting in some way, since there is indeed government besides the POTUS and one would have to go far out of their way to publicly undermine and contradict every possible subordinate.

In other words, you don't ever actually offer concrete qualifications.
I am only speaking in general terms, as I'm not an Intelligence Officer with a bug in the Oval Office.

Trump is saying his Intelligence Chiefs have told him torture works, so he is supporting it.

There are numerous examples of politicians, here and in the US, asking for expert opinions and then dismissing them.
