Trump has hinted in the past at differences with Gabbard on their approach to Iran, saying in March that she was “softer” than him on curbing Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

In April, several sources told Reuters that Gabbard could lose her role in a broader cabinet shakeup.

A senior White House official said then that Trump had expressed displeasure with Gabbard in recent months. Another source with direct knowledge of the matter said the president had asked allies for their thoughts on potential replacements for his intelligence chief.

    None of them are doing their jobs…

    They don’t even understand what their jobs are supposed to be. Any actual business dead ends before it gets to them from below on the chain, they just fuck around and grift till Trump tells them to do something, and then they have no fucking clue how to do it.

    So they throw tantrums and yell at the people who have been allowing the agency to limp on, but that just makes things worse because now those people can’t keep things afloat.

    Things quickly nosedive and then agency heads get replaced, process repeats, but will always be less effective than last time. Like how a bouncy ball always bounces a little less high on every subsequent bounce.

      This is the part that blows my mind the most. I’d like to believe that if you dropped a normal person in one of those jobs, theyd at least make an attempt and probably do somewhat better than these people are.

      It’s like they ran the title of the job through a couple AI passes and are slightly sticking to it.
