Deep state actors in the intelligence community are leaking false Russia narratives to sabotage President Trump’s peace plan and a potential $2 trillion trade deal, according to DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
Gabbard’s Explosive AmericaFest Speech
U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard spoke at TPUSA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix around January 2026. She directly accused deep state actors within the intelligence community of concocting false Russia narratives. These leaks, funneled to mainstream media, aim to stoke fear and derail President Trump’s Ukraine-Russia peace initiatives. Gabbard highlighted money laundering of U.S. aid prolonging a war with zero national interest for Americans. This mirrors historical IC manipulations like the 2016 Russia hoax and 2002 Iraq WMD lies, where politicized intel served agendas over facts.
Key Firings and Resignations Expose IC Resistance
In May 2025, Gabbard fired National Intelligence Council acting chair Mike Collins and deputy Maria Langan-Riekhof. Their memo contradicted Trump on Venezuela gang ties, showing open opposition to administration policy. August 2025 saw her revoke security clearances for 37 officials and aides, including congressional staff, without White House notice. Tensions peaked March 17, 2026, when Joe Kent resigned as National Counterterrorism Center Director. Kent protested an Iran war push driven by pressure, not evidence of imminent threat, aligning with Gabbard’s anti-endless-war stance.
Senate Testimony Fuels Firing Rumors
On March 18, 2026, Gabbard testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee. She skipped a written remark contradicting Trump’s Iran nuclear claims, citing time limits. Senators Mark Warner and Jon Ossoff accused her of evasion to avoid clashing with the White House. CIA Director John Ratcliffe affirmed the Iran threat in his testimony, revealing IC splits. Early April 2026 rumors from The Guardian claimed Trump polled his Cabinet on firing her. The White House dismissed these as fake news amid ongoing frustrations over her unnotified actions.
Gabbard retains her position as of April 2026. Internal White House irritation persists over Ukraine and Iran tensions. Her moves challenge careerists who, per her account, leak to preserve self-interest and extend conflicts.

Impacts on Trump Agenda and American Families
Short-term, Gabbard’s reforms erode IC morale and spark infighting, delaying peace talks through persistent leaks. Long-term, they could realign intelligence toward honest analysis supporting Trump’s de-escalation, or deepen divisions. Taxpayers bear Ukraine aid waste while gas prices surge from global disruptions. Veterans and war skeptics rally behind Gabbard and Kent against institutional loyalty overriding truth. A successful Russia deal promises $2 trillion in trade benefits, prioritizing American prosperity over foreign entanglements.
Politically, this polarizes Congress and media on deep state accountability. Socially, it amplifies public distrust in the IC, rooted in Iraq and Russia precedents. National security faces overdue overhaul pressure in Trump 2.0, countering Biden-era escalations that burdened families with inflation and high energy costs.
