JD Vance and other officials told Trump to fire Waltz. There was just one reason he didn’t

The reporting by various outlets indicates that although President Donald Trump has outwardly supported his national security adviser since the fiasco for security safety in the Signalgate security security security, internal discussions about the future of Mike Waltz were somewhat different.

After a day of bruises over the narrow notorious group chat that accidentally included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg on Wednesday night, vice president JD Vance, staff head Susie Wiles, and top staff, Sergio Gor, had a private meeting with the president, Politics Reports.

In that meeting, they suggested that it be the best for Waltz to be rejected, two people who are familiar with the conversations that anonymity got to discuss it, the outlet said.

While the president agreed that Waltz was blamed for the debacle, he finally decided not to fire him for one reason – that it would be a victory for Democrats and the Liberal media.

“They don’t want to give the press a scalp,” said one of the people, an ally of the White House with the team Politics.

According to AsTrump officials say the president was more angry that Waltz had Goldberg’s number in his phone than about the exposure of sensitive military strike. Things got worse after Waltz’s sloppy explanation about Laura Ingraham’s Fox News Show.

The New York Times Reports that Waltz, even before the signal leak, was already on ‘shaky foot’ and was considered too Hawkish and eager for military action against Iran. This caused friction with other members of the Trump team and the broader Maga world.

On Friday’s visit to Greenland, Waltz Vance accompanied and according to an official with whom Axios, was charged by him on the flight about “Know his place” and “More together.”

For the time being, key administration figures at Waltz, with statements of support from Trump, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, and Vance again in Greenland.

“If you think you are going to force the United States president to fire someone, you have another thing to come,” he said.

“President Trump said it on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and I am the vice president who says it here on Friday, we are behind our entire national security team.”

While Waltz still has his job five days after the scandal broke, it doesn’t mean he’s safe, the two people with whom Politics said. Indeed, they say that some officials are waiting for the right time to let Waltz go as soon as the news cycle continues.

When can it be?

One predicted, “They will stay with him now, but he will be gone in a few weeks.”
