Trump Slashing More Council Staff
Streamlining Government: Trump Slashes NSC Staff by 50% in Bold Restructuring
In a sweeping move to restore focus, efficiency, and loyalty in Washington, President Donald J. Trump has authorized a major downsizing of the National Security Council (NSC), cutting the agency’s workforce nearly in half. This strategic decision aligns with Trump’s broader America First agenda and his commitment to draining the bureaucratic swamp.
Rubio Leads the Charge to Reshape Foreign Policy Leadership
The restructuring is being implemented under Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is also currently serving as acting national security adviser. According to senior White House sources, approximately 175 NSC personnel—out of an estimated 350—will be reassigned to other government posts. The goal? Restore speed and clarity to national security decision-making while eliminating redundancy.
“This is about returning the NSC to its original mission,” Rubio said in a statement first reported by Axios. “The president wants a leaner, more responsive team that works seamlessly with the rest of the administration.”
Key Appointments Signal Loyalty and Competence
As part of the realignment, two trusted officials—Andy Baker and Robert Gabriel—will step into new leadership roles as deputy national security advisers. Gabriel previously served as assistant to the president for policy, while Baker continues to advise Vice President J.D. Vance on national security matters and will now add NSC oversight to his responsibilities.
Trump’s Trusted Circle Expands as UN Role Opens Up
The restructuring follows Trump’s nomination of former national security adviser Mike Waltz to serve as the next U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations—a position requiring Senate confirmation. Rubio has stepped into the adviser role temporarily, bringing his strong foreign policy credentials to the forefront at a critical time.
Firing Disloyal Staff: Trump Prioritizes Loyalty in National Security
Earlier this April, five NSC employees were removed following a White House meeting between President Trump and conservative firebrand Laura Loomer. During the meeting, Loomer raised serious concerns about internal resistance and questioned the loyalty of certain aides.
“I stand by President Trump and will continue to push for strong vetting to protect him and safeguard the national interest,” Loomer declared after the high-profile meeting.
America First, Streamlined, and Ready to Act
President Trump’s reshaping of the NSC sends a strong message: bloated agencies and behind-the-scenes resistance will not be tolerated. Under this administration, national security will be handled by dedicated patriots who put America first.
As tensions rise globally and threats evolve, a more agile and loyal national security team ensures that U.S. interests remain protected without delay or obstruction.
