Presidential Advisors Don’t Necessarily Have America’s Best Interest at Heart
[guest post by Dana]
It’s certainly true that every sitting president necessarily has their chief of staff and cabinet of advisors tasked with guiding, strategizing, and providing the best direction to the president about any given situation. And then there are advisors who aren’t part of the president’s cabinet nor any part of the administration. These are people that are close to the president and have his ear. In Trump’s case, nutcase Laura Loomer is one such advisor. She has the president’s ear and has some degree of influence over the decisions he makes. And that influence, apparently, includes the hiring and firing of individuals that she determines to have been disloyal to the president:
The White House has fired at least three National Security Council staffers, three sources familiar with the move told CNN.
The firings came after Laura Loomer, the far-right activist who once claimed 9/11 was an inside job, urged President Donald Trump during a Wednesday meeting to get rid of several members of his National Security Council staff, including his principal deputy national security adviser, claiming that they are disloyal. One of the sources said the firings were a direct result of the meeting with Loomer.
About the officials fired:
The three officials fired include Brian Walsh, a director for intelligence and a former top staffer for now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the Senate Intelligence Committee; Thomas Boodry, a senior director for legislative affairs who previously served as Waltz’s legislative director in Congress; and David Feith, a senior director overseeing technology and national security who served in the State Department during Trump’s first administration.
Lucky Mike Waltz, he still has his job despite his terrible and unlawful breach of national security (Signalgate). . .all because he loves him some Trump.

Colonel Klink (ret) (96f56a) — 4/3/2025 @ 12:42 pmTrump’s administration has always been characterized by creepy weirdos and high turnover. It’s amazing how fast someone can go from being an all start super genius to a complete boring loser that Trump didn’t even really know.
It’s one of the things I like about Trump. His incompetence in staffing and leadership limits the damage he can do.
Time (f4dec1) — 4/3/2025 @ 12:45 pmWhat did this Nutcase find regarding the history of actions and comments of Walsh, Feith & Boodry? Perhaps it was possible that these three weren’t inline with DJT and his policies. If so, why would he want them working for him! So again, was there something this ‘Nutcase’ found regarding the history of actions and comments of Walsh, Feith & Boodry?

nk (62c296) — 4/3/2025 @ 3:22 pmDemocrat donor class doesn’t have Americans best interest at heart either. Ask them which do you find more offensive queers for hamas or raising taxes on the rich. Social justice doesn’t cost them money economic justice does. Transgenders in woman’s sports yes 15$ dollar minimum wage no.
asset (242ef6) — 4/4/2025 @ 3:03 amI am wondering if the reason Trump fired some NSA staffers is he couldn’t rule them out as being responsible for adding Jeffrey Goldberg (the editor of the Atlantic to the Signal application on National Security Adviser Michael Waltz’ special White House issued cell phone that never left his office. Jeffrey Goldberg implied he had talked to Waltz (or a staff member took down his information for call back) at some point in the past (maybe on another phone

Sammy Finkelman (e4ef09) — 4/4/2025 @ 10:39 amTrump fired the NSA boss because he wants someone there who will give him dirt on his opponents, starting with those judges.
