Donald Trump for days He defends his Mike Walz national security councilor deals with his councilor for national security For the chatgate. But behind the scenes he is asking his collaborators and allies if he should fire him following the messaging scandal on Signal. This was reported by the New York Times by quoting some sources, according to which Trump would be irritated by the media coverage of the chatte but does not want to give the impression of giving in to the media pressure on Waltz. Trump also does not want to hunt a key figure so early in his mandate to avoid triggering comparisons with the chaotic start of his first term to the White House. However, the president is very annoyed by the fact that Waltz has relations with Jeffrey Goldberg, the journalist of The Atlantic involuntarily inserted in the chat of the scandal and which has published the exchange of messages.
Trump received Waltz on Thursday in the Oval Studio and subsequently reported to his collaborators the intention to leave him in his place, also given the support he enjoys among many within the administration. Waltz’s position waved even before the chatgate: many councilors of the president in fact consider him too hawk and ready to recommend military action against Iran even if Trump has clarified that he prefers an agreement with Tehran.
