Steve Bannon said Mr. Pulte is a middle finger to Republicans in the Senate. The Senate won’t codify Trump’s agenda, so he might as well do this. Pulte is known to be a fearless fighter. The deep state will be very opposed to Mr. Pulte, who was running housing before this.
Trump wants action. Pulte does clean-up operations, and time is running out.
Tom Bevan explains how this will work since Pulte would never be confirmed:
“Bill Pulte could never be confirmed. But according to the FVRA, he can be on the job for 210 days. If Trump submits a nomination for DNI, Pulte can remain in the job the entire time the nomination is pending. If the nomination fails, Pulte’s 210-day clock starts over.”
BANNON: President Trump appointing William “Bill” Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence is:
– A middle finger to Republican members of the Senate
– An “F U” to the deep state
– A wake-up call to the White House staff pic.twitter.com/k6P4ZnuZV0

Pulte must be a good choice. Look who’s aggressively opposed:

Pulte annoys and angers all the right people.
Just know that Trump made the right call appointing Bill Pulte, especially watching clowns like this throw complete meltdowns over it. pic.twitter.com/esnzeqmnW6
