Inside the clashes between Trump and Gabbard

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

As President Donald Trump privately mulled joining Israel’s campaign against Iran this month, one member of his Cabinet sent what he viewed as an audacious attempt to steer him in the opposite direction.

At 5:30 a.m. on June 10, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard tweeted a cryptic, three-minute video warning that “political elite and warmongers” are “carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers” — and that the world is “on the brink of nuclear annihilation.”

Trump saw the unauthorized video and became incensed, complaining to associates at the White House that she had spoken out of turn, according to three people familiar with the episode — two of them inside the administration and all granted anonymity to describe sensitive dynamics.

Her post came a few days after Israel hawks met with Trump at the White House to lobby him to support Israel’s attacks on Iran. In the eyes of Trump and some close to him, Gabbard was warning him not to greenlight Israel attacking Iran. Trump even expressed his disapproval to her personally, the three people said.

1. Well, Tulski is a fan of Putin, who supports Iran, so there's that.

Also, she is a person of the female persuasion, and they are only in Trump's circle for the cleavage and the arm candy. Tulski's got the hair extensions but she hasn't fully embraced the Mar-A-Lago face (hers is still normal), so until she gets more botox and lip fillers and maybe some bigger "kidneys" she won't get very far.

2. That video she put out was weird as all get out. I suspect we may see a new DNI in the near future

This administration is a clusterfukk!

4. The article mentions this further down

From the article:

But in recent months, Trump has increasingly mused about nixing Gabbard’s office completely, an idea he floated when he gave her the job. In the White House there have been discussions about folding its mandate into the CIA or another agency, according to one of the people familiar with his response to the video and two others familiar with the matter — though it’s unclear what that would mean for Gabbard. The Director of National Intelligence serves as the president’s principal intelligence adviser and oversees the sprawling U.S. spy community.

I thought it was an interesting article to read in full. I thought the part about Gabbard visiting Hiroshima was interesting and that Trump said it was "pathetic" when Obama did the same thing.

3. Never met the president. Low level staffer

She just got coffee.

5. Dissension in the ranks can only be a good thing IMO.

6. Telling the toddler in chief what he doesn't want to hear

is grounds for dismissal in this go round.

7. Sorry, Tulski, you're not long for that job. Nowhere to go...

sure can't come back to being a Dem after your dalliances with Bashar and Pootie.
