According to two Politico sources, Vice President JD Vance, chief of staff Susie Wiles, and top personnel official Sergio Gor gently offered President Donald Trump some advice in a private meeting on Wednesday. They suggested they fire National Security Adviser Mike Waltz over the Signal Chat blunder.
The President reportedly agreed that Waltz “messed up” but decided not to fire him.
“Like hell he’d give the liberal media and pearl-clutching Democrats a win,” Politico wrote on Friday, citing one insider as saying the administration “don’t want to give the press a scalp.”
The media mostly wants to see him fire Sec. Hegseth, who isn’t at fault.
Trump emphasized that no classified information was compromised and praised the military operation as “unbelievably successful.”
“I don’t fire people because of fake news and because of witch hunts,” Trump told NBC News in an interview Saturday. He said he still has confidence in Waltz and Hegseth.
By the way, the Yemen attack they were discussing was highly successful. Biden made superficial efforts.
Vance’s office declined to comment. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that “President Trump continues to have the utmost confidence in his national security team, including National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.”
Politico is a far-left rag and a Democrat party mouthpiece, but this could be true.
Meanwhile, the media wants the entire Cabinet fired if you go by their nonstop attacks. Biden fired no one, not even the fools of the Afghanistan surrender.

It appears there are 2 Florida RINOs under Trump that are embarrassing and stalling the administration.
Rich Baris, who seems to have ‘connections’ in a variety of areas, has suggested this situation may have been a Gen. Flynn type setup.
Quite possible. Flynn was sure he would be in the Cabinet…
Caution was needed by Trump to not repeat that.
But in this case, Waltz admitted guilt. Flynn never admitted any wrongdoing, because there was none.
Waltz is a neocon. He supports military adventure, Flynn does not.
Hegseth et al are 100% guilty. Sharing such info on a third party app alone is mishandling such info. Secondly, not checking who is in on the chat is a problem as well.
You are 100% nonsense, leftist propagandist. Hegseth did not organize the meeting.
This is what is called a “Tempest in a tea pot”. Politico was not in the room and had no one who works for them was in the room or an agent of any kind was in the room. So, totally made-up BS.
