‘It’s like what we’re seeing at Twitter, and Facebook, and Apple, and on too many university campuses,’ said Pompeo.

Trump, in his last days in the White House has resigned cabinet members, his vice-president for the first time is putting himself at risk and some of his party members are ‘instant support for impeachment.
But he remains loyal until the bitter end comes from Pompeo.
America’s top diplomat has advanced 11-hour hawkish policies and quickly embraced Trump’s hard-core protest astronomy, raising the speculation that Pompeo’s White House is in its own sights in 2024.

On Tuesday, he delivered a hawkish speech accusing Trump’s hostility of Iran and Al-Qaeda, a relationship that experts have been debating for years.
While Pompeo has criticized the attack on the Capitol, he later asked for a photo by Lauren Boebert, a new Republican communicator who sparked controversy with comments before and during the riot and described Pompeo as ‘a true lover.’
‘Some people see a coup attempt against the US government and are embarrassed. Pompeo sees it and thinks, ‘I can ride that to the White House in 2024,’ he dismissed David Rothkopf, a former foreign policy expert and journalist who has strongly criticized Trump .
Like many Republicans, Pompeo was not a first supporter of Trump, claiming in 2016 that the buildings mogul would be ‘authoritarian.’
But drawn from Congress to become his CIA leader and then secretary of state, Pompeo has been a rare survivor in Trump’s orbit, taking care not to go against his mercurial leader in public.
Three cabinet members stopped after Capitol violence and others took a low key but Pompeo did not stop talking about Trump. After the election, he caused a stir by suggesting at a press conference that Trump stay in power.

While cabinet members have resigned, President Trump has remained loyal to the bitter end of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
Vice President Mike Pence consistently supported Trump for four years – in one famous program, even revealing that he put down a bottle of water at a meeting because Trump had done the same.

Stephen Walt, a professor of international relations at Harvard University, suggested that Pompeo is now taking the post on social media that Trump is no longer allowed.
Pompeo may have ‘achieved the incredible and incredible status by being insulted by foreign and U.S. diplomats in equal measure,’ Walt tweeted.
