The Trump administration fired back at a disgruntled Deep State operative Tuesday after top counterterrorism official Joe Kent quit his post and tried to smear the President on his way out the door.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt didn't mince words during Tuesday's briefing, telling reporters that Kent's resignation letter contained "many false claims" and confirming that President Trump had "strong" evidence that Iran was preparing to attack American interests.
This is exactly what we've come to expect from the administrative state swamp creatures who can't stand that Trump is back in charge and actually putting America first. Kent, like so many other establishment lackeys, apparently couldn't handle working for a President who takes national security seriously instead of appeasing our enemies.
Trump Acts on Real Intelligence, Swamp Rats Squeal
While Kent's resignation letter tried to paint the Trump administration's Iran policy as reckless, the facts tell a different story. Leavitt made it clear that the President had solid intelligence backing his decisions - something the American people can actually trust, unlike the lies we got from the Biden regime for four years.
"The President had strong evidence that Iran would attack US interests, and unlike the previous administration, this President actually acts to protect Americans," a White House source told reporters.
It's telling that Kent chose to run to the media with his complaints instead of working within the system. This is the same playbook we saw throughout Trump's first term - Deep State operatives who can't handle real leadership throwing tantrums and leaking to their friends in the legacy media.
America First Means No More Appeasement
Patriots know the truth: Trump's Iran policy puts American lives first, not the feelings of career bureaucrats who got comfortable during four years of Biden weakness. While establishment types like Kent preferred the old days of endless negotiations and empty threats, this President believes in peace through strength.
The real question Americans should be asking is this: How many other Obama-era holdovers are still lurking in our national security apparatus, waiting to undermine the America First agenda? It's time to clean house completely.
