National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, an outspoken critic of past U.S. military interventions abroad, appears to have fallen out of favor with President Donald Trump as he weighs military action against Iran, according to multiple senior administration officials with knowledge of the matter.

Gabbard allies insist that, while there is some White House tension, some of the public blowback is overstated, and none interviewed by NBC News expect her to leave the administration as a result of the president’s Iran policy, even if that includes direct U.S. involvement.

Gabbard’s politically perilous position burst into the open this week when Trump brushed her back over her testimony to Congress in March. At that time, she said the U.S. intelligence community did not believe Iran was building a nuclear weapon — a comment at odds with Trump’s recent public statement about the threat posed by Iran’s potential nuclear program.

“I don’t care what she said. I think they were very close to having one,” Trump told reporters Tuesday on Air Force One.

A person with knowledge of the matter said the U.S. intelligence community’s view has not changed since Gabbard’s testimony in March.

It also reflects a rift that is playing out publicly in Trump’s MAGA coalition, with some supporters advocating standing by Israel in whatever military action it takes against Iran and others saying intervention would go against the “America First” philosophy. Trump’s criticism of U.S. involvement in past conflicts — and his campaign promise to be a “peacemaker” in his second term — brought in unusual bedfellows, such as Gabbard, who had been a Democratic congresswoman.

Multiple senior administration officials said Gabbard has been sidelined in internal administration discussions about the conflict between Israel and Iran. Even two of her allies who spoke to NBC News acknowledged that her standing took a hit when she posted a video on June 10 after a trip to Hiroshima, Japan. The video, which featured the simulated destruction of American cities and Gabbard warning about the dangers of nuclear war, annoyed the White House team, the officials said.

Tulsi Gabbard was once a Bernie Sanders supporter. And she has a history of supporting communists abroad like Assad in Syria and Putin in Russia. I would not be surprised if she is a communist spy within the Trump Administration. I really have no respect for this former Democrat politician.

Well yeah. Don’t post propaganda in the lead up to the 60 day deadline Trump imposed

Fake story for clicks. Reporter asked a gotcha without providing the context that they recently restarted building bomb components. She also stated they don’t believe they’re actively pursuing. 3 months prior

Thus, he doesn’t care what she said 3 months ago, the game has changed.

I voted for Trump 3 times and support him, but he made a huge mistake appointing Tulsi as Director of National Intelligence. She is a commie. Anyone who supports or once supported Bernie Sanders is a communist and has flawed judgement.

She also supported the pardon of traitor Edward Snowden who leaked a large cache of classified information about US surveillance programs.

A slick NBC news report that took 5 journalist, Dan De Luce, Matt Dixon, Garrett Haake, Carol E. Lee and Courtney Kube, to write 220 words (44 words each, that you quoted, to convince people as yourself that there is a riff between The President and his National Intelligence Director?

Tulsi Gabbard posted to X on June 10 a video about her visit to Hiroshima about the horror of a nuclear bomb drop in 1945.

To quote her words: "I recently visited Hiroshima, and stood at the epicenter of a city scarred by the unimaginable horror caused by a single nuclear bomb dropped in 1945. What I saw, the stories I heard, and the haunting sadness that remains, will stay with me forever."

A NBC report, that you quote, by 5 reporters, that the reporters copied and pasted, 44 each words each average, into a "report" with a video on X which the context does not mention any conflicts but only about the horror of a nuclear bomb. This report took less than 5 minutes for those that had input. This report is garbage and is nothing more than to fill space on a website and give 5 lazy "journalist" a bullet point to send their boss they are "working" . Throw out a trawl net and you are bound to catch a few who like yourself. SMDH.

She, like many others, such as Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump Jr., advocated for someone that blew the whistle on large scale violations of constitutional rights. Somehow, you're upset about this.
You are on the side of Lindsey Graham, Mike Pompeo, and just about every Democrat that walks.
You are sub-stupid.

OK, I’ll play:

Ask yourself whyis no one asking why a statement made by Gabbard 3 months ago is just now prickling Trump’s ire?

I’ll hang up and listen…

Just goes to show you how bad some people have TDS. NBC is about as far left as you can get, and she's using them as a source.

Yeah... Turns out shes not very good at this intelligence thing when the entire world says one thing and she says another. May e she should go surfing and take some more bikini photos, which is why she got Trumps attention in the first place.

I said the other day that her weird video was a cry for help. I think she is being steamrolled by the war hawks.

The Rogan/Dave Smith/libertarian and Tulsi/anti-war Bernie Bro coalition with Trump was probably going to break at some point. I just didn’t think it would happen this quickly.

The entire point of Trumpism is dying on this Iran issue.
