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.

If he’s no longer listening to schmucks like John Bolton and Lindsey Graham, I’ll be fine with it.
As my own Congressional Representative, she being U.S. Army Reserve and while Trump was serving as POTUS ,I personally heard her say very disrespectful and disloyal things , in public, about her Commander and Chief . Tulsi is a chameleon. Be careful...
Maybe Kim Kardasian was only willing to advise him about military uniforms?
That’s not her.
"If zeepers are against her then I might have to take a second look at her."
I’d rather Flynn 100%
She’s better than the dozens if not hundreds of Satanic NeoCons that Trump regularly used during his time. Who sabotaged our withdrawal from places we have no right to be.
Doug Macgregor is the obvious choice for acting Secretary of Defense. The turtle would never give him a vote nor, of course, would a dem. Trump needs to line up multiple choices for each cabinet position. The ones we need will never be confirmed. Trump needs to name a new acting secretary every six months. The Senate can pound sand. What are they going to do, impeach him? It’d just be another unit on the impeachment/coup assembly that will be fired up again. Do the Richard Grenell technique. It’s the only way.
What? You actually are questioning Trump for the first time ever? You better get back on the farm, according to Bannon she’s on the short list for VP.
Vivek in a dress.
You obviously have a reading comprehension problem, because that's not what I said, or insinuated. I said that Trump was certainly talking national defense with someone better than Gabbard. There wasn't even a question mark in my comment. It was a statement of fact. You people crack me up. Always twisting people's words. Now go away.
It was so shocking to see you possibly stepping one toe off the plantation, I had to check.
Thanks for caring.
You forgot that she looks better than 99% of their women
also.
I want patriots and not Chronies.
Tulsi is someone whose seen and recognized the corruption of the establishment…
I’d take her somewhere in the next Trump administration over con men frauds like Vivek any day of the week
Takes a lot of commitment to renounce prior beliefs.
Fool. No one here cares about your endless pro-Biden rambling.
I’m fine with her in some anti-neocon position.
I know she is socially liberal.
Is Padma still cooking?
