A May 22 commentary in London’s Economist Magazine emphasizes that “Tulsi Gabbard’s exit [from the Trump administration) weakens MAGA’s anti-war faction,” but asserts that she had already been relatively isolated in the government and that her departure will not signal major changes.
“Her resignation shows how little influence such voices wield around Donald Trump… She had cut an increasingly lonely figure, sidelined from most major decisions. Yet her departure comes as Mr. Trump weighs up whether to restart a war on Iran that Ms. Gabbard had long opposed.”
