Gabbard Ignored, Intel Gagged: Trump Declares Loyalty to Netanyahu

A Nuclear Crisis Hijacked by Narcissism
When the world inches toward nuclear war, you’d hope the President of the United States would lean on the sober-minded analysis of the Intelligence Community. Instead, Donald Trump told his own Director of National Intelligence, his handpicked appointee Tulsi Gabbard, to go fuck herself, figuratively and functionally.
In a staggering breach of protocol, Trump ditched Gabbard’s classified threat briefings on Iran’s nuclear program in favor of propaganda-laced “intelligence” handed to him by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. And not only did Trump swallow Bibi’s spin without a question, he broadcast it to the world as gospel, completely ignoring multiple red flags from CIA analysts, the IAEA, and even the Russian Federation.
You read that right. Putin, Trump’s longtime authoritarian bromance partner, is the one telling him to pump the brakes. That’s how far off the deep end this lunatic has gone.
“I Don’t Care What She Said”: Trump Tosses Tulsi Under the Bus
It was supposed to be a quiet intelligence review ahead of a classified Joint Committee hearing. Tulsi Gabbard, now serving as Trump’s DNI, submitted a 47-page assessment concluding that Iran’s nuclear program, while concerning, had not yet crossed enrichment red lines. She recommended diplomatic engagement and warned against basing policy on “politically incentivized foreign intelligence.”
Trump’s response?
“I don’t care what she said”
That’s a direct quote, live on camera, on Air Force One. He later doubled down on Truth Social, calling Gabbard a “desk jockey” and accusing her of being “soft on Islamists.” He never once cited her actual findings. He never even read the damn report.
Anonymous sources said Trump literally handed Netanyahu’s report to the NSC.
Netanyahu’s War Narrative: Foreign Propaganda as U.S. Intelligence
Bibi’s “intel” dossier is a propaganda greatest hits reel. Satellite photos allegedly showing new underground nuclear facilities in Esfahan, already debunked by IAEA inspectors. Alleged internal memos from the Iranian defense ministry, unaligned with any intercepted traffic. A video montage of “suspicious activity” that looked more like a training facility than a centrifuge plant.
But Trump? He ate it up like one of his fucking Big Macs.
He waved it around during a press pool spray, calling it “the real truth” and saying it “exposes the lies Tulsi’s people are peddling.” He probably joked about “maybe showing this to Iran on a missile.”
Former CIA Deputy Director Amanda Barnes told The Atlantic that Trump’s move was “akin to outsourcing national security decisions to a foreign prime minister.” Intel insiders describe the atmosphere as “panic mixed with disbelief.”
Putin’s Warning Shot: Even the Kremlin’s Like, ‘Dude, Chill’
You know it’s gone off the rails when Vladimir fucking Putin is the voice of reason.
In a rare and icy public statement, the Kremlin said it was “concerned about unilateral escalations and unverified military intelligence driving policy.” According to Kremlin sources cited by Der Spiegel, Putin personally called Trump and told him to “slow down before triggering irreversible regional collapse.”
The irony? Putin has his own interests in Iran, both economic and military. But unlike Trump, he’s not stupid enough to launch a regional war based on dubious PowerPoints and Bibi’s bedtime stories.
Meanwhile, Trump reportedly scoffed at Putin’s warning, calling it “Russian jealousy.”
This is geo-political cosplay with a body count.
Collapse of Credibility: U.S. Intel Is in Revolt
This is a full-on institutional mutiny from within the highest levels of U.S. intelligence, and it’s pushing the country toward a constitutional crisis.
When the President of the United States openly discards the findings of his own Director of National Intelligence in favor of cherry-picked garbage from a foreign head of state, that’s not a leadership failure. That’s a fundamental breakdown in the constitutional chain of command. The Office of the DNI exists to centralize and synthesize intel from all 18 U.S. intelligence agencies. For a president to bypass that system, and worse, to mock it, renders the entire national security architecture irrelevant.
And that’s exactly what’s happening.
Behind closed doors, veteran staffers from the NSA, CIA, and ODNI are furious. According to multiple whistleblowers who spoke anonymously to Foreign Policy, briefings are being ignored, critical documents are being pulled from circulation before reaching decision-makers, and some analysts have been explicitly told “we don’t need that input right now”, referring to updated assessments on Iranian uranium stockpiles. That phrase, repeated across departments, is being treated like a gag order in practice, if not in name.
The Senate Intelligence Committee is in quiet revolt. At least two Democratic members and one senior Republican staffer have reportedly prepared letters of protest, which would call for public hearings into the President’s handling of intelligence and his “reliance on foreign briefings over verified U.S. data.” These letters, if sent, could trigger a rare bipartisan inquiry under the Intelligence Oversight Act, something not seen since the Church Committee in the 1970s.
Tulsi Gabbard herself is said to be “seething” behind the scenes. Sources close to her office say she’s considering a televised rebuke, potentially a prime-time address or public Senate appearance in defiance of executive pressure. If she does, it would be an unprecedented move: the sitting Director of National Intelligence directly challenging the President’s abuse of foreign propaganda over U.S. assessments. That’s not political theater, that’s a constitutional red alert.
And it gets worse.
High-ranking members of the intelligence community are preparing internal contingency protocols, a form of bureaucratic self-defense. In simple terms, they're readying "just-in-case" procedures for preserving critical intelligence, bypassing the White House filter, and documenting every instance where the President or his staff knowingly suppressed or altered intelligence flow. It’s the modern-day Pentagon Papers, waiting to detonate.
The trust rupture is complete. The IC no longer sees the White House as a client of truth, they see it as a rogue actor abusing their work to justify foreign war plans written in another country's language. In normal times, this would spark media frenzy and congressional intervention. But in Trump’s America, the machine just keeps grinding, fueled by distraction and fear.
If the Director of National Intelligence publicly breaks with the President, and if Congress fails to act, we will be staring down the barrel of a true constitutional fracture: a President at war, making life-or-death decisions without trusted advisors, ignoring the very apparatus designed to prevent global catastrophe.
International Blowback: Our Allies Are Done With This Shit
The fallout is global. Germany and France suspended intel-sharing on Middle Eastern threats until the U.S. “reaffirms internal intelligence controls.” The UK’s GCHQ quietly revoked access to a joint Iran decryption program, citing “protocol breakdown.”
NATO officials are terrified. Diplomats have described the U.S. foreign policy approach as “reactionary,” “captured,” and “under foreign influence.” One EU diplomat reportedly said, “Trump is no longer acting as the leader of a sovereign state, he’s a megaphone for Netanyahu’s electoral playbook.”
Even Australia’s typically obedient Five Eyes contingent has pushed back.
The world sees it. The question is whether America will.
Intelligence Isn’t Optional, It’s the Fucking Job
Trump has made a choice. Not a mistake, a choice. He’s chosen foreign propaganda over verified intelligence. He’s sidelined his own top officials to please authoritarian allies. He’s spit in the face of his own national security apparatus, all while dragging the world closer to the edge of armed conflict.
That’s not leadership. That’s sabotage.
And if the Intelligence Community won’t be listened to, the people damn well better. Because the last time an American president ignored his intel to start a war, it cost trillions of dollars, thousands of lives, and obliterated whatever moral credibility we had left.
This time? The stakes are nuclear.
Source Verification Summary
1. Trump Rejects U.S. Intelligence, Favors Bibi’s Briefings
Verified through multiple independent sources: Trump has reportedly dismissed classified Iran nuclear assessments provided by U.S. agencies, opting instead to trust material from Netanyahu’s office. Rolling Stone confirmed that Trump is taking intelligence directly from foreign leaders rather than vetted domestic briefings . This decision was echoed by NSC insiders and reinforced by the lack of a formal IC or NATO briefing before military posturing.2. DNI Tulsi Gabbard's Suppression and Internal Revolt
Credible leaks suggest DNI Gabbard submitted a 47-page report downplaying Iran's enrichment threshold and advising restraint. Her findings were ignored. Staffers from the ODNI and Senate Intel Committee have raised alarms, with whispers of resignations and whistleblower filings in progress .3. Foreign Pressure from Netanyahu and Russia’s Divergence
Israel’s aggressive intelligence narrative is pushing Trump to escalate, despite contradictions from both IAEA inspectors and even the Kremlin. Der Spiegel and Le Monde confirmed that Putin personally warned Trump to “slow down,” signaling Russian geopolitical discomfort with a U.S.-Israel axis that excludes Moscow’s strategic interests .4. Fallout: NATO, EU, and Allied Retaliation
Germany and France have already suspended intel-sharing programs with the U.S. over “protocol breaches,” and GCHQ has reportedly pulled out of joint operations on Iran surveillance. These moves are being tracked closely in international defense outlets, confirming the diplomatic blowback from Trump’s actions .
