Donald Trump put Tulsi Gabbard through the wringer at a private meeting because he felt she hadn’t backed his war against Iran with sufficient enthusiasm.
“Trump was displeased with Gabbard when she didn’t wholeheartedly endorse the Iran war during her recent testimony to Congress about threats to the U.S.,” Axios reports, citing five people with knowledge of the president’s attitude toward his director of national intelligence.
The president apparently made his feelings clear during a private chat in March, the day after Joe Kent, Gabbard’s former counterterrorism chief, quit over what he framed as the U.S. being goaded into the conflict by Israel.
