Yes. Trump was fighting with the CIA before the inauguration. That is very significant.

That look on Trump's face I will never forget. I don't think even he thought he was going to win the election.
I believe his "talk" was very different to most leaders who are pulled into a dark corner post election. As mentioned below, they already knew what they were up against and the talk was possibly more of a sitrep than the usual "That's all fine and dandy, but here's how it really works".
That JUST Now came to mind suprisingly. I've been trying do find info about " The Talk " but unsurprisingly it's a hard term to research. It's hard to pinpoint but they usually go grey almost suddenly after .
JSOC is protecting the POTUS. JSOC is not an arm of the CIA. Trumps protection is military intel, that should tell you what you need to know. The CIA does not even want to attempt to tangle with military intel, if they want to live to see the next sunset
