Former President Donald Trump is making big plans for the Defense Department, and he’s turning to a former Hawaii congresswoman, Tulsi Gabbard, for advice. You heard that right, folks. Trump is keeping his eyes on the future of the branch in case he makes a grand return to the White House!

Gabbard, who used to be in the Democratic Party but saw the light and left in 2022, has caught Trump’s attention with her knack for criticizing sending resources to Ukraine in its tiff with Russia. Trump, who’s not afraid to admit when he’s made a mistake, has voiced regret over not picking the best defense and foreign policy leaders the first time around. But he’s not making that mistake again! He’s looking for folks who see eye to eye with him.
The Donald met with Gabbard at least once in person last year. She hasn’t spilled the beans on their discussions, but y’all know she’s been known to back Trump’s moves. And could you blame her? She’s got a point when it comes to keepin’ our noses out of international tiffs, just like Trump! And she’s really striking a chord with Republican voters who ain’t keen on getting mixed up in other countries’ messes abroad.
Now, some so-called “experts” are fretting about the potential harm Trump’s presidency could do to alliances with other countries, like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. They say he sees these partnerships as just business deals, always checkin’ the ledger to see if it’s a good or bad deal for us. But, hey, maybe that’s what we need – a leader who’s not afraid to put America’s interests first!
And as for the national guard and U.S. troops in Germany and South Korea, Trump’s had his disagreements with the higher-ups. But let’s be real, folks. Sometimes you gotta stir the pot to make some real changes, especially when it comes to protecting our own home turf.
So, while the naysayers might naysay, Trump is set on making sure the Defense Department is in good hands if he’s back in the big seat. And with Gabbard in his corner, who knows what kind of bold moves they’ll make! Keep your eyes peeled, folks. The Donald is always full of surprises!
