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.
Considering people have the benefit of looking at what Trump did in his first term, I still think it’s weird that anyone would accept an appointment from Trump into a position where Trump can also fire them.
Only the most braindead, incompetent people would accept a position where they upend their lives for a position where they get blamed for their boss’s failures and then get fired in a year.
And so indeed you do see that Trump hires only the most braindead incompetent people.
