Trump doesn’t have a Joe Kent problem, although his now former Director of Counter-terrorism wrote in a public letter that, in essence, Trump lied to the American people about Iran being an “imminent threat” to start the Iran War. No, he has a Tulsi Gabbard problem, as leaks come out of her National Intelligence office that she recommended against going to war with Iran, and predicted the exact oil blockade and strengthening of the Iranian regime that is on full display now. Popok looks at why Tulsi’s Congressional Testimony this week about Iran is going to be a white-knuckle moment for Trump, as Tulsi, sidelined by Trump, gets her chance to have some political future after she leaves office by throwing Trump under the bus.
