President Trump has appointed Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence following Tulsi Gabbard’s resignation last week. Trump announced the move in a Truth Social post Tuesday morning, and said Pulte would keep his existing jobs as chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as well as head of the Federal Housing and Finance Agency. “William has deep experience managing the most sensitive matters in America, the safety and soundness of the Markets, and over 10 Trillion Dollars at Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, a substantial increase from where it was just 12 months ago,” Trump posted. It’s an odd choice for the sensitive position, which concerns foreign intelligence and would appear to require a military or intelligence background, which Pulte doesn’t have. Instead, he has built up a reputation of targeting Trump’s political enemies using his authority at the housing agency, and has become unpopular among Republican lawmakers for working his way into Trump’s inner circle. Last month, Pulte drew the attention of Democrats in Congress for a suspicious charity donation that may have funneled money into Trump’s pockets, and for sharing an AI image with the president depicting Trump as Jesus Christ. Trump then posted the image on his Truth Social platform, causing a backlash from across the political spectrum, particularly from Trump’s supporters on the Christian right.Pulte will now be holding a sensitive intelligence position while juggling his other positions. It’s more evidence that Trump prizes loyalty above competence and experience, but could also indicate that Trump is planning a more sinister use of Pulte’s authority. Gabbard was involved in investigating election fraud conspiracies during her tenure as Director of National Intelligence, and Pulte could pick up where she left off. This story has been updated.

Donald Trump’s decision to appoint Bill Pulte, a businessman currently serving as the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHA), to replace departing DNI director Tulsi Gabbard set off a wave of surprise and consternation on MS NOW Tuesday morning.On Truth Social , Trump made the announcement that Pulte would serve as acting director despite having zero experience in intelligence gathering and analysis, having spent his life working in his family's home construction business.MS NOW’s Jonathan Lemire read the breaking news, which led his colleague Eugene Daniels to point out that Pulte's only seeming ally in the White House is the president himself.Pulte has been involved in making wild accusations of mortgage fraud aimed at some of Donald Trump enemies that have gone nowhere when the Department of Justice later investigated.According to Daniels, because of that, the appointment may not sit well within the White House.“This would seem to be a an escalation in Trump's efforts to relitigate 2020,” Lemire suggested. “Those investigations, which Gabbard was already doing, but also potentially trying to build more acts of retribution against folks.”"It's all loyalty, right?” Daniels replied. “Because Bill Pulte, who is a businessman, does not have experience in foreign policy in the way that you would probably want the DNI to actually have. Their job is to be the go-between all of the intel agencies and typically give the presentation to the president about what the intel agencies are saying or doing. He is also someone who folks in the white house have been a little bit frustrated with, not Donald Trump, obviously.”“Remember that Jesus meme?, He is the one that Donald Trump talked with before he posted it,” Daniels recalled. “And so that caused a whole kerfuffle for folks when that was reported out at the time. I will say this is, once again, just Donald Trump finding folks who have no experience. It doesn't matter to him, trying to figure out how do I get the things that I want?”Lemire closed with, "Tulsi Gabbard sort of sidelined herself because she disagreed with trump in the Iran war. So she was left out of a lot of key decisions. That's still a really important job and Pulte comes in here with zero experience in the intelligence community is a remarkable moment." - YouTube youtu.be
