Tulsi Gabbard claims ‘elites’ are planning the end of the world, forgets her boss is one of them

Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, posted a bizarre video on X, warning that shadowy “elites” are planning the end of the world, complete with private bomb shelters and elite bunker access.

In a three-minute, doom-laden clip filmed after she visited Hiroshima, Gabbard warns that modern nukes could “kill millions in minutes,” far more powerful than the 1945 bombs. But here’s the catch: her boss, President Donald Trump, currently controls the entire U.S. nuclear arsenal. Oh, the delicious irony.

Still, she accuses unnamed “political elite warmongers” of stoking global tensions with reckless saber-rattling, and brags they’ve bought nuclear shelters, confident they’ll survive the fallout
Her agenda? “It’s up to us, the people, to speak up and demand an end to this madness,” Gabbard said.

The convenient contradiction

Gabbard’s populist doomsday sound‑off conveniently omits one tiny detail: President Donald Trump is the Commander-in-Chief right now, with sole authority over the U.S. nuclear arsenal. So if these elites are supposedly driving us toward annihilation, who’s pushing the buttons? Let’s not pretend: if there’s a “nuclear holocaust” under Trump’s watch, the buck stops at the Oval Office.

Why the doomsday drama?

Populist posturing aside, Gabbard has grown fond of selling conspiracy-packed, anti-establishment rhetoric ever since clashing with Democrats and aligning with Trump. By playing doomsday prophetess, she appeals to her core who detest the “globalist elites”—you know, George Soros, Bill Gates, that crew.

It could also be a diversion: Nuclear doomsday sells clicks and shifts blame from her boss. “Look over there! It’s not Trump with his finger on the nuclear button—it’s the shadowy bunkered elite!” And all while Trump deploys military forces in the streets of L.A.

But this dramatic tone isn’t new for Gabbard. In 2019, she warned of WWⅢ and said we were “on the precipice of nuclear war.” She even cosponsored no‑first‑use bills for nuclear weapons. So her Hiroshima visit was just another chance to pull the alarm—except now she’s serving inside the administration she’s critiquing.

Gabbard’s “elites‑inside‑bunkers end‑of‑days” video is peak conspiracy-populist theater: it drips with drama, invokes Hiroshima nostalgia, and accuses secretive elites of planning nuclear doomsday—all while her boss, President Trump, holds the nuclear keys. So next time she warns of elite-run Armageddon, just remember: they don’t have the launch codes… he does.
