Donald Trump reportedly revealed to close aides that he has been considering dissolving the office ran by the Director of National Intelligence, a position currently held by Tulsi Gabbard, alleging that she does not add to his administration.

The idea stemmed from a brief video posted to social media by Gabbard earlier this month, in which the former Hawaii representative rattled off about how “political elite and warmongers” are “carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers,” adding that the world is “on the brink of nuclear annihilation.”
