Trump Fires Mike Waltz After SignalGate | Marco Rubio Steps In, Laura Loomer Claims “Scalp”

Trump’s White House Bombshell: Mike Waltz Out, Marco Rubio In — Laura Loomer Claims Credit

In a bombshell move from the Trump White House, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz is out — and Senator-turned-Secretary-of-State Marco Rubio is stepping in again to pick up another massive job title.

Former Congressman and Army Green Beret Mike Waltz, once a rising star, has been “kicked upstairs” to become the new U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, according to President Trump’s post on Truth Social.

But make no mistake — this wasn’t a promotion. It was a political body blow.

SignalGate Strikes Again: The Group Chat That Cost a Job

The trigger? SignalGate.

Six weeks ago, Waltz accidentally added The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief to a Signal chat where top national security officials were casually discussing classified military operations in Yemen.

Yeah, that’s about as bad as it sounds.

While Trump downplayed the incident publicly, insiders say it was a ticking time bomb. The embarrassment was too big to ignore — especially for someone who’s supposed to be the firewall between POTUS and national chaos.

Laura Loomer Scores a Win: “Scalp” Claimed

But that’s not all. Far-right influencer Laura Loomer — known for her wild loyalty tests and Trump-world influence — declared victory on X with one single word: “Scalp.”

Loomer, who has Trump’s ear, had been gunning for Waltz, claiming he wasn’t “loyal enough.” Turns out her campaign worked.

Trump knew Waltz had criticized him in the past — but Loomer’s whisper campaign was the final blow. Her influence in MAGA-land just hit a new high.

Enter Marco Rubio: From Diplomat to Do-It-All

So who’s cleaning up this mess?

Enter Marco Rubio — already Secretary of State, now also National Security Adviser and head of the National Archives.

Trump praised him in the Rose Garden saying, When I have a problem, I just call Marco.

Rubio’s trust factor is sky-high. But how many hats can one man wear?

Ukraine, Gaza, and China: A Messy Global Stage

This change comes at a critical time:

  • Ukraine: Waltz had been deeply involved in war negotiations and sanctions against Russia.
  • Middle East: Steve Witkoff, originally focused on Israel and Gaza, is now juggling Ukraine peace efforts too.
  • China and Iran: Both remain major flashpoints — and now, Rubio is managing multiple fronts.

Oh, and Pete Hegseth, Trump’s Secretary of Defense, may still face heat over SignalGate himself — he’s the one who actually shared the sensitive info.

New U.S.-Ukraine Economic Pact: Power Play or Peace Path?

Despite all the drama, the Trump administration just sealed a massive economic deal with Ukraine — no peace guarantees, but a strategic show of commitment.

This isn’t a peace deal — but it’s definitely a power move. Think:

  • Closer U.S.-Ukraine commercial ties
  • Leverage over natural resources
  • A bold message to Russia

Ukraine knows it needs America long-term — and this deal proves it. They’re sitting on a goldmine of resources, and they’re playing the long game.

Final Word: Power, Loyalty, and Political Survival

This shakeup isn’t just about bad group chats or diplomatic musical chairs.

It’s about loyalty politics, far-right influence, and how quickly even Trump’s top brass can fall if they aren’t MAGA enough.

Mike Waltz is down — but not out. Marco Rubio is overloaded. And Laura Loomer? She’s flexing her influence like never before.

Stay tuned. This is only round one.
