'She's Wrong': Trump Rebukes Gabbard On Threat Posed By Iran
President Donald Trump directly rebuked Tulsi Gabbard, his own director of national intelligence, during a Q&A with reporters on Friday afternoon amid reports that she’s an increasingly irrelevant figure within his administration.
After being asked by MSNBC’s Vaughn Hillyard about why he was considering a strike on Iran given his expressed opposition to the Bush administration’s war in Iraq, Trump stated that Iran had gathered “a tremendous amount of [nuclear] material.”
“What intelligence do you have that Iran is building a nuclear weapon? Your intelligence community has said they have no evidence that they are at this point,” followed up Hillyard.
“Well, then my intelligence community is wrong. Who in the intelligence community said that?” shot back Trump.
“Your director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard,” observed the reporter.
“She’s wrong,” replied Trump matter-of-factly.
The commander-in-chief’s dismissal of Gabbard comes just a few days after Politico reported that Gabbard was on the outs.
