Trump is ‘losing confidence’ in Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard as he mulls removing her entire office, senior official says
President reportedly angered by intelligence chief’s social media warning against ‘warmongers’ 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.

One of the senior administration officials, quoted anonymously by Politico, said there is a growing perception within the West Wing that the former Hawaii Democratic congresswoman, who once ran for that party’s presidential nomination, “doesn’t add anything to any conversation.”
