Trump Ousts 100+ NSC Staffers In Major Deep State Shake-Up, Rubio Leads Sweeping Overhaul

The Trump administration has fired over 100 National Security Council (NSC) staffers in a surprise Memorial Day shake-up, reportedly aimed at dismantling what insiders call the “Deep State.” Employees received just 30 minutes to vacate offices, affecting major directorates including Ukraine and Indo-Pacific. Acting NSA Marco Rubio is spearheading the effort to streamline policy control, slashing NSC staff from over 300 to just 50. Officials say the move reduces bureaucracy and restores NSC’s original purpose. This is among the most sweeping reorganizations of Trump’s second term so far. #TrumpNSC #DeepState #TrumpAdministration #MarcoRubio #WhiteHousePurge #NationalSecurityCouncil #NSCReform #NSCFirings #TrumpSecondTerm #RubioLeadership #MemorialDayPurge #DeepStateCleanse #TrumpPolicy #ForeignPolicyReform #NSCShakeUp #TrumpMoves #RubioPower #NationalSecurityNews #WhiteHouseNews #BureaucracyCut Also Read Trump Administration Bars Harvard From Enrolling Foreign Students :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-bars-harvard-from-enrolling-foreign-students-4161385.html?ref=DMDesc Congress Slams Centre After Trump Reiterates India-Pakistan Ceasefire Claims: 'Why This Thundering Silence?' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/congress-slams-centre-after-trump-reiterates-india-pakistan-ceasefire-claims-why-this-thundering-s-4160453.html?ref=DMDesc India-Pakistan Directly Negotiated Ceasefire: S Jaishankar Dismisses Trump's Mediation Claims :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-pakistan-directly-negotiated-ceasefire-s-jaishankar-dismisses-trumps-mediation-claims-4160395.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~
