Four of President Donald Trump's cabinet members have left his administration over the last several months — and people noticed a similar pattern on Friday.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was the latest to exit, citing her husband's battle with a rare bone cancer. The move comes after months of rumors that Trump wanted her gone.
The internet spotted something similar to previous Trump administration officials ousted from their roles, including former Attorney General Pam Bondi, former Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer, and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
"Four major departures from Trump's cabinet are all women," Sam Stein, managing editor of The Bulwark and MS NOW contributor, wrote on X.
"Four of Trump’s Cabinet officials have departed in the last 3 months and all are women: Noem, Bondi, Chavez-DeRemer and now Gabbard," Grace Panetta, politics reporter for The 19th, wrote on X.
"As I have said many times, they are all awful! Every one of Trump‘s cabinet members was handpicked for their loyalty, and almost all are not only unqualified, but dangerously so. Yet of the four that have been fired or pushed out so far, all four of four are women," author and activist Amy Siskind wrote on X.
"Donald Trump only has four women left in his Cabinet to fire..." Amee Vanderpool, lawyer and writer of the Shero Substack, wrote on X.
"Called it. That’s four women now," Laura Bassett, freelance journalist and former Jezebel editor-in-chief, wrote on Bluesky.
