Former Democrat Congresswoman and Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard is reportedly setting her sights on the Defense Secretary position in President-elect Donald Trump’s new administration.

Sources close to Trump’s transition team have disclosed that Gabbard, who recently realigned with the Republican Party, has expressed a strong interest in leading the Pentagon under Trump’s upcoming term, the New York Post has learned.

According to one GOP insider, Gabbard is expected to privately approach Trump about her Pentagon aspirations this week, with additional interest in a potential CIA Director role.

The emphasis on this story is not that Trump is considering Gabbard for DOD Secretary. It is that Gabbard is going to approach Trump and tell his that she wants to be DOD Secretary. There’s quite a difference.

But Trump is a misogynist according to the news media, news talk shows, and rabid democrats. How can this be?

No! Not enough experience.

She would be good at the VA.

I’d love to see her in that role, and she should stand a good chance now that John Radcliffe is going to run CIA.

The Pentagon and it’s perfumed princes need a serious haircut.

I think she would be an outstanding choice. She really aligns with Trump against the forever wars.

Tulsi is as anti-Neocon as anyone in this country. She had the %&@@s to travel to Syria to find out what is REALLY going on there, which was everything that she was being told in Congress was flat-out lies, and that we were arming the terrorists in that country, many of them ISIS (and for that trip, she was effectively expelled from the Democrat Party).

While I haven’t heard of her Ukraine position, but I have NO DOUBT she fully understands that the Ukraine War didn’t start because Putin had an argument with Mrs. Putin on Feb 21, 2022 (the day before the war) or whatever the British rags are now claiming.

So, game over for Ukraine getting any help from the US once Trump takes over as Tulsi will pull-back wherever possible and try to start replenishing our horrifically depleted arsenals (you’ll hear about that after Trump takes over).

The issue of the beautiful Tulsi eyeing something is certainly news of interest to those of us who think she is beautiful and wonderful.;-)

But only Trump decides.

I think she would love doing just that. From what I’ve seen, she detests Wokeness.

I don’t want anyone in that position with “experience”. “Experience”has been the death of the military.

I didn’t read the story, but Tusli was in the room with Trump and about a dozen others watching and commenting on one of Harris’s speeches (the one on YouTube), so she’s DEFINITELY in his inner circle.

Very good post.
