Fired by Laura Loomer and Susie Wiles no doubt...
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/01/trump-plans-to-oust-national-security-adviser-mike-waltz-00321200Waltz has further been weakened after far-right activist Laura Loomer met with Trump and convinced him to fire several members of the National Security Council and top officials, including the director of the National Security Agency Gen. Tim Haugh, over loyalty concerns. Loomer also targeted Waltz’s deputy Wong, accusing the son of Chinese immigrants of advancing Chinese interests.
In response to reports of Waltz’s ouster Loomer sent a one-word text to POLITICO: “Loomered.”
The scandal and Waltz’s inability to shield his staff from Loomer’s effort significantly hindered his ability to wield influence in the administration, with officials at the White House and State Department increasingly questioning his ability to run the National Security Council effectively. Chief of staff Susie Wiles was so frustrated with Waltz that she has been barely speaking to him, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Also...a Flashback:
In private meeting, Vance and top advisers suggested Trump oust Waltzhttps://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/28/waltz-trump-vance-wiles-private-meeting-00258904On Wednesday evening — following a brutal day of headlines surrounding the now-infamous Signal chat — 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.
National security adviser Mike Waltz’s accidental inclusion of a journalist in the chat was creating a major embarrassment for the White House. Perhaps it was time to consider showing him the door, they suggested, according to two people familiar with the conversations who were granted anonymity to discuss them.
The president agreed that Waltz had messed up, according to the people, but Trump ultimately decided not to fire him for one reason — for now: Like hell he’d give the liberal media and pearl-clutching Democrats a win.
“They don’t want to give the press a scalp,” said one of the people, a White House ally close with the team.
Despite simmering anger directed at the national security adviser from inside the White House, Waltz still has his job five days after The Atlantic first published its explosive story on the Signal chat. That doesn’t mean he’s safe yet, according to the two people.
In fact, the two allies have heard some administration officials are just waiting for the right time to let him go, eager to be free of the newscycle before making changes.
One of them offered this prediction: “They’ll stick by him for now, but he’ll be gone in a couple of weeks.
