Trump biographer predicts next 3 Cabinet members on the chopping block

President Donald Trump has finally begun to fire major members of his Cabinet, and now, one of his first-term biographers has predicted the next few high-profile officials who will get the axe, likening them to a "set of dominoes."

Trump made it official this week that Pam Bondi was being removed as attorney general and being replaced by Todd Blanche, the president's one-time personal defense lawyer and deputy attorney general under Bondi, as an interim AG while a proper replacement is sought. This came less than a month after the ouster of Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary.

Michael Wolff is a veteran reporter and author, best known for chronicling the chaos behind the scenes of the first Trump administration across a handful of books, using inside sources within the White House. During the latest episode of his Daily Beast podcast, "Inside Trump's Head," he discussed Bondi's firing and suggested that Trump has finally given in to his natural instinct to fire people to cover for his own failures.

"I think it’s just a pervasive sense of dissatisfaction: ‘Who can I blame?’” Wolff explained. “I don’t think it really relates to any one issue. I think it relates to [how] things are bad: ‘Somebody needs to be blamed other than me, Donald Trump, so I’m going to fire somebody.'"

From there, Wolff said that he would expect more firings to come sooner rather than later, as Trump's presidency continues to spiral, and gave a prediction for the next three names on the chopping block.

"Tulsi Gabbard next week," Wolff said. "[Robert F. Kennedy Jr.] the week after, Howard Lutnick inevitably coming up.”

Reports have indicated that Trump is growing increasingly dissatisfied with Gabbard, his Director of National Intelligence, and might be looking to fire her. This is purportedly due to her refusal to condemn Joe Kent, who recently resigned as director of the National Counterterrorism Center in protest against the Iran war, as well as her refusal of a demand to fire him before that. Her ouster would also fit the growing pattern of Trump ditching the most prominent female officials in his administration.

While Kennedy's name has not emerged much in reports about potential removals, Wolff claimed to have heard that Trump is asking around about his Health Secretary's fitness for office, seemingly growing to regret the noted vaccine skeptic's appointment.

"I know that he’s been calling around and saying to people, you know, ‘I hear people say, Bobby is crazy. You think he’s crazy?’” Wolff said. “And you know the answer he wants.”

The Daily Beast also noted that Lutnick, in addition to getting ensnared in an Epstein files scandal, has recently begun to anger White House insiders with his "shouting and grandstanding."
