Trump in talks with Tulsi Gabbard about future of Defense Department
The Washington Examiner ^ | Feb. 14, 2024 | Misty Severi

Former President Donald Trump has been discussing the future of the Defense Department with former Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, as he plots the future of the branch should he return to the White House.

Trump, who went through multiple National Security and Defense advisers in his first term, met with Gabbard at least once in person last year, a source familiar with the conversations told the Washington Post.

Gabbard, previously a Democrat, has become a vocal critic of sending resources to Ukraine in its war with Russia. She has faced criticism from both parties over her isolationist approach to foreign policy but has gained popularity among Trump supporters.

“She appeals to Republicans who are skeptical of intervention overseas, which is now a majority of Republican voters,” Republican strategist Andrew Surabian said.

Oh please. Certainly there’s someone better that Trump is talking national defense with, than Bernie’s biggest commie supporter.

Her loyalty to him is probably his priority. She’s young. I’m tired of all the old Warhawk farts who show up on TV to tell us the same thing for the past 20 years.

“Trump in talks with Tulsi Gabbard about future of Defense Department”

I think Tulsi SCARES THE SHIITE out of the Leftists who both run the country and quietly operate in the bowels of government.

She scares them even more than Trump, because she knows THE TRUTH, be it Syria, Serbia, Libya, or Ukraine - and the Leftists DO NOT want that getting out (for obvious reasons), as one can often see here.

intervention overseas

If it weren't based on such a blatant Biden Family bribery and money laundering operation a lot of folks might be more sympathetic.

Give it a rest, there is not a single credible news source in any of the links you posted.

And yes Ukraine was running Bio Weapons labs.

I’m not one of the Tulsi Gabbard fanboys here on FR, but Trump could do far worse when it comes to a senior military advisor.

What REALLY pisses off the Leftists is that Tulsi also HAS A BRAIN and won’t drink their Kool-Aid.

The videos don't lie.

VIDEO: Rep. Gabbard: Assad is not an enemy of the US

VIDEO: Rep. Tulsi Gabbard declines to condemn Syrian president for alleged chemical weapons use

And yes Ukraine was running Bio Weapons labs.

No it wasn't.

How a QAnon conspiracy theory about Ukraine bioweapons became mainstream disinformation

Fact Sheet on WMD Threat Reduction Efforts with Ukraine, Russia and Other Former Soviet Union Countries

Amid false Russian allegations of US “biolabs” in Ukraine, it’s worth asking: What is a bioweapon?

And then there are the predictable photos from the, um.. "conservatives" here at FR.

Zip your pants, guys. If this leftwing twat is PDJT's hope for the DoD, we've all been screwed 6 ways from Sunday.

Good grief you are naive. Yes they did. That is all.

Not going to continue debating with a naive neocon globalist eager to sallow the liberal propaganda.
