Trump Tells Gabbard She Must Resign Before Midterms



Trump (R) has Urged the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard (R), to Resign before the Midterm Elections later this year. Trump’s Cabinet has been Undergoing a Serious Purge this year. Some of the most Notable Figures have been Ousted in Shock Exits, Iincluding Attorney General Pam Bondi (R), Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R) and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem (R).

The White House has made it Clear to Gabbard, who Once got a Sickening Compliment from Trump in a Room Full of People, that they want Her Gone Before the Midterms. At this Point, Her Departure remains Unconfirmed and the Timing of any Potential Exit from Trump’s Cabinet remains Vague. It comes amid Growing Concern about Trump's Erratic Behavior, just days ago, Trump made a Disturbing Sex Comment on Stage that Stunned His Audience into Silence.

Now, the Public are Placing their Bets on Who is Next to be Axed from Trump’s Inner Circle. Many have their Money on Gabbard, whom the White House has reportedly Coaxed into Resigning.

Gabbard’s 2020 Presidential Campaign Heavily Centers around Ending Perpetual “regime change wars.” Throughout Her Campaign Trail, Sshe Argued that U.S. interventions in Places like: Iraq, Libya, and Syria, were Wasteful and Counter-Productive.

After the U.S. launched Strikes on Iran Earlier this Spring, Gabbard stood before the Senate Intelligence Committee, and made it Clear that She was Presenting Facts, instead of Her Own Opinion.

“I’d like to remind those who are watching what I am briefing here today conveys the intelligence community’s assessment of the threats facing US citizens, our homeland and our interests,” Gabbard told the Committee, “not my personal views or opinions.”

Gabbard’s Deputy, Joe Kent (R), Resigned in March, citing Ddisagreement over U.S. Involvement in the Iran War, and the Influence of Israel, and the Israeli Lobby in Domestic Politics. In Her Testimony before Capitol Hill, Gabbard Refused to Condemn Kent. Sources suggested that Her Unwillingness to do so Angered Trump, causing Him to Reflect on Her Own Loyalty.

When Asked if He still had Faith in Gabbard’s Leadership, Trump told Reporters, “Yeah, sure. I mean, she’s a little bit different in her thought process than me, but that doesn’t make somebody not available to serve.”

Another High Profile Figure from Trump’s Cabinet that People are Betting to be the Next out the door is FBI Director Kash Patel (R). This week, an Article by The Atlantic suggested that Patel was Suffering from an Alcohol Problem causing Unexplained Aabsences from Duty.

Patel responded by Filing a $250m Defamation Lawsuit against The Atlantic, Accusing the Magazine of publishing False and Damaging Claims about His Conduct in Office. The Lawsuit Stated that the Story included "false and obviously fabricated allegations designed to destroy Director Patel's reputation and drive him from office.”

Crypto Mogul Sues Trump Family of Fraud



Cryptocurrency Billionaire Justin Sun, is Suing World Liberty Financial, a Crypto Vventure Cco-Founded by Trump (R) and His Sons, Alleging the Company Illegally Blocked Him from Selling Digital Tokens worth up to $1 Billion.

The Lawsuit, Filed on 4/21/2026 in California Federal Court, also Accuses World Liberty Financial of Trying to Pressure Sun into Investing "hundreds of millions of dollars to mint USD1, World Liberty's stablecoin." The Complaint Aalleges that the Company Froze His World Liberty Financial Tokens after Sun Refused to Commit more Money to the Business.

Sun also Alleged that World Liberty Financial Secretly Changed Contractual Rules Governing when Owners of its Tokens could Sell their Holdings, giving the Company "Blacklisting Power" over Who could Transfer the Tokens.

"There was no governance proposal (let alone a vote of token holders) on whether World Liberty should have this power, nor did World Liberty announce to token holders what the company was doing. World Liberty simply took the power for itself," the Complaint Alleged.

Reached for Ccomment, World Liberty Financial Ppointed to Social Media Posts from Co-Founder and CEO Zach Witkoff and Co-Founder Eric Trump. Witkoff Dismissed Sun's Allegations as "Entirely Meritless."

"Justin Sun's recent lawsuit against [World Liberty Financial] is a desperate attempt to deflect attention from Sun's own misconduct," Witkoff wrote on Social Media on Wednesday. "He engaged in misconduct that required World Liberty to take action to protect itself and its users. World Liberty will continue to take all necessary steps to protect its community."

The Litigation Threatens to Chill Sun's Relationship with Trump (R). The Entrepreneur, best known as the Founder of Blockchain company Tron, Revealed in 2025 that He was the Largest Holder of another Trump-backed Crypto Token, dubbed $TRUMP.

"The only thing more ridiculous than this lawsuit is spending $6 million on a banana duct-taped to a wall. We are incredibly proud of the [World Liberty Financial] team," Eric Trump wrote in a Wednesday Social Media Post, Referring to Sun's 2024 Purchase of an Art Piece called "Comedian."

In a Social Media Post on His Rationale for the Lawsuit, Sun said He remains a Supporter of Trump and Blamed "certain individuals" for the Alleged Issues.

"They wrongfully froze all of my tokens, stripped me of my right to vote on governance proposals, and have threatened to permanently destroy my tokens by 'burning' them — all without any proper justification," He wrote. "I do not believe President Trump would condone these actions if he knew about them."

Sun's Complaint also Accused World Liberty Financial Executives, including Co-Founder Chase Herro, of Seeking to "leverage the Trump brand" to Illegally Drive Profits.

"Even though Mr. Sun was one of World Liberty's anchor investors and biggest supporters, that did not stop Mr. Herro and the company's other principals from making Mr. Sun a prime target of their fraudulent scheme."

Sun Portrayed His Support of World Liberty Financial as Key to its Early Success, Claiming in the Lawsuit that its Tokens, which Trade under the $WLFI Ticker, saw "lackluster demand" and Generated just $22 million in Sales in the First month. After He bought $45 million Worth of Tokens, Investors poured in, with the Company eventually Raising about $550 million, He Claims.

Once the World Liberty Tokens became Tradable on Sept. 1st, however, Sun Alleges He was Blocked from Selling them. Sun and His Businesses "will be unable to realize any economic value from their tokens — which have at times been valued at $1 billion or more — as long as the tokens are unlawfully frozen," the Complaint States.

Since Sept. 1st, $WLFI Ttokens have Lost about 25% of their Value, According to CoinGecko.

The Complaint also Alleges World Liberty Borrowed at least $75 million in Stablecoins by Pledging Billions of its own $WLFI Tokens as Collateral, then Converted a Portion of those Funds into Cash. That Activity could Add Downward Pressure on the Token's Price and make it Harder for Holders to Trade the Crypto, the Suit Alleges.

The Lawsuit further Claims that these Developments Point to Mounting Financial Strain at World Liberty, and Alleges the Company could Struggle to Meet its Obligations. It cited those Concerns as One Reason the Court should Block World Liberty from Invalidating Sun's Tokens.

"World Liberty's collateral is rapidly deteriorating, its governance credibility has been undermined and market confidence in the company is eroding," the Complaint Alleges.

“I remain fully committed to our common cause of free speech on the Internet, which is now and will always be fiercely protected by Truth Social,” He Wrote.

"For shipments where UPS was the IOR, we will work to request and retrieve IEEPA tariff refunds from CBP on our customers' behalf," UPS said in a Statement on its Website. "There is no need for those customers to contact UPS. After we receive the funds from CBP, we have established a process to issue refunds to the payors."

FedEx is Submitting Declarations for Eligible Entries for which it Served as a Customs Broker, and said it will Work "expeditiously" to Issue Refunds to Customers Once CBP makes FedEx Whole.

DHL, which also Started Submitting Claims as soon as the Portal Opened on Monday, said that as it Receives Refunds, it "will pass the refund to the party that originally paid the duties." The Shippers did Not Disclose the Total Amounts of the Refunds they are Seeking.

He told CNBC that He Will "Remember" U.S. Companies that Don't Submit CAPE Declarations. He also said it would be "brilliant" if Firms didn't Ask the Federal Government for Refunds.

Kacie Wright, Manager of Houghton Horns, a Keller, Texas-based Musical Instrument Retailer, said She Faced Added Costs from Trump's Tariffs but isn't Aauthorized to Submit a Claim for Refunds. Instead, She has to Wait for CBP to Return Money to Shippers who Acted as the Importers of Record on the Company's Behalf. "So they need to get refunds, which they'll then pass on to us."

Wright said She's Grateful that Shippers have Pledged to Pass on Refunds to Customers like Herself. Still, She said Nothing is Guaranteed until the Money is in the Bank. "I hope they process the refunds. I hope they get it done,"Sshe said.
