Tulsi Gabbard has resigned as director of national intelligence amidst reports of her being sidelined and President Trump considering her dismissal. Her departure follows a 15-month tenure where her actions appeared to contradict her long-held anti-interventionist foreign policy stance, a principle that defined her political career and presidential run. Despite a declared war in Iran and her previous strong opposition to “regime change policies,” Gabbard remained loyal to Trump, hedging her statements and failing to publicly disavow the administration’s actions. This loyalty was ultimately unreciprocated, leaving her political credibility diminished and her future uncertain.
