Trump Wants to Fire Tulsi Gabbard for Telling the Truth (For Once)

It looks like Donald Trump left Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, out of a key meeting to discuss the conflict between Israel and Iran, after she gave him intel about Iran that he chose to ignore. She reported in March that the intelligence community believed Iran was not building a nuclear weapon.'

Trump, however, dismissed the claim. "I don't care what she said, I think they were very close to having them," he told reporters. Same song and dance since 1992.

"She had a scheduling conflict with National Guard orders, but was never invited in the first place," Doocy reported, according to a social media post by Fox News' Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin.

As he continues to try and drag the US into Israel’s war against Iran, Trump reportedly finds himself at odds with Gabbard, with one White House official saying that he has “just been kind of down on her in general” of late.

Gabbard recently posted a video on Twitter in which she warned that “political elite and warmongers” are “carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers,” placing the world “on the brink of nuclear annihilation.”

Trump is said to have been angered by the video, accusing Gabbard of going “off-message” and rebuking her for it in person.

He has also reportedly been considering the idea of closing Gabbard’s office and integrating its responsibilities into the CIA’s leadership infrastructure. However, this could have a significant impact on oversight of the U.S. intelligence community.
