Trump reportedly angered by intelligence chief’s social media warning against ‘warmongers’ placing the world ‘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 “just been kind of down on her in general” 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 “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.

        Look at Trump’s big military parade. The Army has crack drill teams, expert parachute units, ace helicopter pilots, and dozens of other impressive troops to put on display. No way is the military going to go to war because Donnie is having a tantrum.

          I’m not so sure anymore. They aren’t exactly kicking up a fuss about deploying to cities and assisting with detaining Americans. I don’t think they have the sack to say no. Hope they prove me wrong.

          Yes, it’s the national guard in my example, but they are still military.
