Donald Trump reportedly wants Tulsi Gabbard to resign before midterms

The White House has allegedly made it clear to Tulsi Gabbard that her resignation is desired ahead of Donald Trump’s midterms strategy taking full shape. Sherwood News sources alleged that the administration wants the intelligence chief gone before voters head to the polls. However, the exact timing of any potential exit remains uncertain (via The Mirror).

The friction between Trump and Gabbard reportedly got worse following her testimony at a worldwide threats hearing on Capitol Hill last month. According to The Guardian’s sources, the president expressed frustration that Gabbard declined to condemn Joe Kent. Kent was her former deputy who publicly resigned, stating Iran posed no imminent threat to the United States.

Additionally, Trump has reportedly polled cabinet members in recent weeks about whether he should replace Gabbard. When asked aboard Air Force One whether he still had confidence in Gabbard’s leadership, Trump gave a measured response. “Yeah, sure,” Trump told reporters. “I mean, she’s a little bit different in her thought process than me, but that doesn’t make somebody not available to serve.”

No fan of Gabbard but he'll probably pick someone even worse.
