Trump's next target: DC insider predicts who will get axed next

President Donald Trump’s second term is falling apart amidst controversy over rising prices and two wars, so he has responded by firing members of his cabinet. Yet according to former Republican political consultant Rick Wilson, it is easy to predict who Trump will pick next to fire in the hope it will save himself.

“Should it also be notable that it's three women?” MS NOW anchor Katy Tur asked Wilson on Tuesday.

“I don't think that's a coincidence at all,” Wilson told Tur. He then speculated that FBI Director Kash Patel and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard are next on the chopping block based on the DC insider scuttlebutt.

“I don't think that he looks at the cabinet right now in the way he did in the first term, which he sort of had that reality show vibe going on in his head still,” Wilson explained. “I think now he recognizes that there is a collision between absolute loyalty and competence, and they're not directly proportional. In fact, they're inversely proportional with these people.”

He added, “This is not a cabinet of talented individuals. This is a cabinet of people who are walking clown shows.” In addition to criticizing Patel and Gabbard, Wilson also pointed out that the Commerce Secretary and former Labor Secretary are problematic.

“You've got people there because of Epstein, like Howard Lutnick — all these folks inside the cabinet should have a food taster and be sleeping with one eye open, because this is where Trump feels he exercises any kind of control over the narrative,” Wilson explained. “He'd much rather us talk about Lori Chavez-DeRemer being fired than this disastrous position of the day on Iran.”

In the case of Lutnick, he is a controversial figure because he misrepresented his relationship with the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, with whom Trump had close ties that he too misrepresented. Chavez-DeRemer left earlier this week as Labor Secretary under a cloud of suspicions she was fired for abusing her office by allegedly drinking, mistreating staffers and inappropriate spending. Trump also recently fired Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem for misrepresenting whether he gave her permission to spend $220 million on advertisements and Attorney General Pam Bondi over her failure to effectively prosecute Trump’s political enemies.

As Tur alluded to in her interview with Wilson, many observers noticed that Trump’s initial Cabinet firings have all been women — first Noem, then Bondi, now Chavez-DeRemer.

“From Orban to Lori Chavez-DeRemer, the post liberal project of the right keeps collapsing on its own corruption,” conservative commentator Erick Erickson posted on X.

Journalist Rob Archer posted, “Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned, becoming the latest woman in Trump’s Cabinet to step down during internal turmoil. Her exit follows an investigation by Inspector General Anthony D’Esposito into allegations of misconduct, which she denies.”

Bluesky user NanBP was more succinct in summing up the situation: “Another one bites the dust and surprise, surprise ... It’s another woman. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigns.”
