President Donald Trump’s firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi – just weeks after ousting Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem – was likely the beginning of many high-profile dismissals, Trump biographer Michael Wolff predicted on Thursday, who went on to name who he believed would be in Trump’s crosshairs next.
“This is now a set of dominoes,” Wolff said, speaking on The Daily Beast’s “Inside Trump’s Head” podcast, as reported by the Beast Thursday.
Next in line for dismissal, Wolff predicted, would be Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, followed shortly thereafter by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and eventually, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
His prediction was made in part on information from those in Trump’s orbit, telling the Beast last week that he was aware of phone calls made by the president asking about whether people believed RFK Jr. was “crazy.” As to why Trump has only now kicked off what may be a wave of high-profile firings, Wolff argued that it was, in part, a manifestation of the president’s frustrations over the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, which has failed to achieve its objectives and has proven unpopular with Americans.
“I don’t think he can recover here,” Wolff said. “Also, he is going very shortly into his formal lame duck period. Plus, we are approaching the midterms, which are going to be a catastrophe.”
The Beast reached out to the White House about Wolff’s predictions, which in turn lashed out at the biographer as a “lying sack of s—” and a “fraud.”
“He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain,” reads a White House statement issued to the Beast.
