Trump Panics as Top Official Quits Over War

From the bottom of the bottom of the top of a robust garden, it is better to take a picture of it.

“In addition to the quality and the unearthed price,”

we now have all the garden products in our home and in the action app. In addition to a small price, big friends. Donald Trump is panicking as one of his top officials has quit over Trump's disastrous war in Iran. Joe Kent, who serves as the Director of National Intelligence,

the National Counterterrorism Center. He's the number two under Tulsi Gabbard. He just posted that after much reflection, he will be resigning his position as the Director of National Counterterrorism Center, effective today because in good conscience,

he can no longer support the ongoing war in Iran. He writes that Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation

“and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel”

and its powerful American lobby.

He says it was an honor to serve under Donald Trump and Tulsi Gabbard. He says, "May God bless America." He is a combat veteran. He is a gold star husband in the Mago world. He is beloved in the Mago world.

And so this is sending massive shock waves throughout Mago right now as one of the top Mago people. One of Donald Trump's top officials has officially resigned over Donald Trump's disastrous war in Iran. This of course comes at a time when things are getting worse there

as the United States is stuck in a quagmire there of Donald Trump's making. And we're now learning that one of the main aircraft carriers that is outside of Iran, the Gerald Ford, the USS Gerald Ford.

They've just received a notice after basically being on duty

for close to a year that they will remain in the Middle East until May. And that USS Gerald Ford, as you may recall, back on March 12, suffered a very serious fire aboard. That started in the laundry room. They said it wasn't because of any foreign attacks or anything like that.

The ship's just been out there for a very long time. It has resulted in 600 sailors and crew members sleeping on the floor right now. And this USS Gerald Ford, which has now been informed that it will now be deployed at least through May that tells you how long this war at a minimum is likely going to last. It has to go to Greece to get service right now as the Gerald Ford and even the Abraham Lincoln

aircraft carrier, they're suffering a lot of issues just from the wear and tear of the deployments that Trump is putting them through. Let me just go back for a moment and read you Joseph Ken's resignation letter

“because there's more to it that I think is important to read to kind of sum up”

what's going on in the maga room.

Because again, this guy topped Trump official top maga guy, here's what he writes. He goes present

in Trump after much reflection. I've decided to resign from my position as Director of National Counterterrorism Center effective today. I can not in good conscious support the ongoing war, the ongoing war in Iran, Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation. And it is clear that we started the war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. I support the values in foreign policy that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which you

enacted in your first term. Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation. In your first administration, you understood better than any modern president, how to decisively apply military power without getting a straw into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Solomon Mani and by defeating ISIS, by the way, I don't agree

that he defeated ISIS or I don't agree that he was good in his first term. I'm just reading you what this resignation letter states. Early in this administration, high ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America first platform and sold pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat

to the United States and that should you strike now there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again as a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a gold star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon and a war manufactured by Israel. I cannot support sending the next

generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor just

and who we are doing it for the time for bold action is now you can reverse course and chart a new

“path for our nation or you can allow us to slip further toward decline in chaos you hold the cards.”

It was an honor to serve in your administration and to serve our great nation-sign Joseph Kent, Director National Counterterrorism Center. Now one of the things we're hearing from a lot of America's allies, former allies and generals and admirals and other top military officials in the United States is they hold the cards now referring to Iran and Trump's allies fear Iran has been slipping beyond the president's control. Trump supporters who backed his promise to avoid

new Middle East wars worry Iran's attacks on shipping are a push toward US escalation and maybe

even boots on the ground political rights. A political rights to a large extent they hold the cards now said one person close to the White House they decide how long we're involved and they

“decide if we put boots on the ground meanwhile in Europe the vice president of the European Union”

Commission they are foreign minister Kaha Kalas says we just really don't understand what the United States is doing like we had a logical level don't understand the moves it's making and then she also said it's pretty clear now when you deal with the United States you just have to take unpredictability of the US into account the US is no longer a rational actor and we just have to proceed as such meanwhile you had the UAE airspace temporarily closed all of it for a significant

period of time you had major hotel in Baghdad in Iraq that was hit by these Iranian drones you had the Iranian back militia groups in Iraq with those FPVs those first person viewed drones flying it around the green zone and posting videos showing that they could strike any target at will you had additional strikes in northern Israel central Israel in Bahrain and then you have the United States and Israel striking Iran hard Israel claim that it was able to kill Iran's security chief

Ali La Rajani and the Basij force commander Golim Merza Solimani we believe that that actually

is something that happened I mean just because it's claimed doesn't mean it always happened but we

believe that that actually did in fact take place now lots of people though who understand the inner workings of Iran though feel like killing Ali La Rajani makes doing any type of negotiated resolution with Iran more difficult while Ali La Rajani was certainly one of the top figures in Iran that's kind of day to day running the Islamic Republic he was also somebody viewed as having the institutional knowledge to work with the more extreme elements I mean La Rajani's an

extreme guy but even the more extreme elements within the Islamic Republic military the revolutionary guard to try to bring about resolution so lots of people feel like all you're going to do by taking out La Rajani is show what an existential threat this war is and for Iran to just keep on

“gold what keep you posted but that's what a lot of the individuals who really study the day to”

day of Iran are saying that this actually makes any resolution with Iran more difficult by taking out La Rajani and perhaps that's what Israel wanted in doing that to try to continue this thing but you know we will keep you posted there should be noted that Iran's parliament speaker Muhammad Bagar Galabaf he's just recently commented saying that the security landscape in the straight of horror moves has fundamentally changed he's accusing the US of acting under Israeli

influencing I don't know what happened in the Epstein affair and those files are what documents exist on Americans that put them on such a leash and Netanyahu's hands and lead them to act this way. Galabaf also said Trump is lying several times a day out of desperation claiming the US failed to achieve quick victory and that all of the US bases have been targeted by us he added that Iran had long war neighboring states that the US military presence does not bring security saying

recent events had proven that point and Galabaf said that the face and order of the Middle East are changing adding that regional countries will shape their own security rather than the United States so those are words of someone who doesn't seem to be interested in a resolution any time soon but again we will continue to follow this day by day meanwhile back in Washington DC you have

the American economy it's just hurting consumers and consumers are the least thing we care about right now now if you're like Ben you're telling me Trump's top economic guy just went on TV and said the least of our concerns right now is the American consumer yeah I'll show you what he said

“here play this clip but the fact is that the US economy is fundamentally sound and that if it were”

to be extended this it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all it would hurt consumers and we'd have to think about you know if that continued what we would have to do about that but that's like really the last of our concerns right now because we're very confident that this thing is going ahead of us guys this episode is brought to you by article I recently got a walnut

watch maga Mike Johnson panic right here play this clip uh i'm on the gang of eight i got all the briefings we all understood there was clearly an imminent threat that their run was very close to uh the enrichment uh nuclear capability and they were building missiles at a pace that no one in the region could keep up with they were far outpacing our our our our allies and and friends and and and us in our defense capability because we had personnel installations uh members of the armed

services and civilians in the region uh Iran was building up ballistic missiles at such a rapid pace and we knew that their plan was to fire them upon americans um the commander chief and his administration had a very difficult decision to make uh i don't know where Joe Kent is getting his information but he wasn't in those briefings clearly because the secretary state that the the the secretary of war and everyone uh the joint chief's staff general Kane they had exquisite intelligence

that we understood that this was a serious moment for us had the president weighted i am personally convinced that we would have mass casualties of americans uh service members and others and our installations would have been um uh dramatically uh damaged and so we had to the president fell

that he had to strike first to prevent those mass casualties that's the summary i can't tell you

the classified part but that's the summary that's made public and it's accurate yes modern or let's take a look at some of these other trump surrogates who are going on uh the news networks this morning magma republican peat sessions says that if we put 2500 to 5000 boots on the ground in the carg island in the straight of her moves and the northern parsian golf that's not boots on the ground that's like virtual boots on the ground so putting soldiers in Iran is not putting soldiers in

“Iran that's that's what you're trying to sell us here play this clip brown the president is moving”

about 2500 rains to the region are you okay with putting those two troops on the ground i i actually spoke to some media last night and i indicated that i believe that what these 2500 rains of the marine expeditionary push would be would be this probably secure the island the island is not in my opinion boots on the ground in contrast to sort of it is it is a territory it is Iran facility well i'm not going to argue that point it's my effect you're right

and i think he wants to go secure that to make sure the Iranians don't do themselves them so i think

it's probably wisdom is that boots on the ground no not not like inside Iran where they're in the cities where we go through circumstances that we've had in the past of large areas of population combatants against us and it is a mess i am against they what i call the mess moving people marine snipers into population areas but then back to Kevin has it for a moment he tries to sell us that Donald Trump canceling the meeting with Xi Jinping is a good thing because there's such

good buddies and they're looking forward to meeting because all of this is going to be great for Xi Jinping in the long run and that Donald Trump is really helping Xi Jinping right now by this war even though we know that China is actually helping Iran right now let's play this

“clip right here and so i think that in this this is one case where the objectives of both”

countries are aligned that we want you know a stable world oil market and i think the president Trump or president Xi are good friends and that and you know when this when this war is over which will be subtype soon i'm sure they'll get together and have a lot to talk about and hopefully when the Chinese will express some gratitude for what president Trump has done. I'm more from Kevin has it right here explaining that even though we're not getting our fertilizer from Qatar anymore

as a result of this war who really cares we we we we've basically moved on i'm sure Qatar is very

happy about that let's play this clip right here you mentioned that there are so many other things that come through the straight-up or moves that that we do have concerns about one would be fertilizer another would be helium which is needed for the manufacturing of semiconductor chips you said you have a plan what what is that plan to make sure that we are getting fertilizer to the

“proper places that it's needed because you can't get the fertilizer there late if you need to”

plant the crops right well well the thing about fertilizer is that uh i know there are some people who live in fertilizer land.cbc but probably most people don't know about how fertilizer works

of the u.s but it's almost planting season and there's a lot of fertilizer that usually goes down

during planting season including fertilizer this based on ammonia and urea and nitrogen and then there's a potash that goes in as well although the potash usually comes in the fall and a lot of this stuff is made from liquid natural gas and there's a facility in Qatar that produces so much fertilizer that it that it supplies maybe about 20% of the fertilizer in the u.s and so what we've been doing to it really as a insurance policy against this rupture is we've been

finding other sources that do it so really quite successfully we've put licenses established licenses for Venezuela to produce more fertilizer or we've had discussions with Baracko which has the the largest reserve of potash of anywhere on earth and so we've been all over the fertilizer problem and then more efforts by Donald Trump and his despicable regime right here in order to further harm our economy Washington Post reports that about 200,000 immigrant truckers will begin to

lose their commercial drivers license under a Trump administration rule that affect that takes effect today straining the industry responsible for moving goods across the u.s. as energy costs surge amid the war in Iran as Quinn year gain explains I really cannot fathom being so racist and power hungry that someone would rather rule a legally segregated economic backwater as a dictator then participate in a free contest for political power in a wealthy diverse country yet that's

the fascist plan and talking about that fascist plan right here u.s. is considering with holding more HIV they've already with held lots of HIV by dismantling u.s.a.d. but u.s. is now considering its main plan with hold HIV aid unless zambia expands mineral access a draft state department memo outlines ways that the Trump regime may ratchet up pressure on the African country by ending
