Trump reportedly angered by intelligence chief’s social media warning against ā€˜warmongers’ placing the world ā€˜on the brink of nuclear annihilation’

As he weighs joining Israel’s war against Iran, Donald Trump reportedly finds himself at odds with his Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, with one White House official saying that he has ā€œjust been kind of down on her in generalā€ of late.

Trump was recently incensed, according to Politico, by Gabbard’s decision to post a three-minute video on X in the early hours of June 10 in which she warned that ā€œpolitical elite and warmongersā€ are ā€œcarelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers,ā€ placing the world ā€œon the brink of nuclear annihilation.ā€

Trump is said to have been angered by the video, accusing Gabbard of going ā€œoff-messageā€ and rebuking her for it in person.

    Tulsi Gabbard started life as a Democrat. I am assuming they are going to kick her to the curb because she was a ā€œcrypto-Marxistā€ or something like that.
