White House official and self-described 'misogynist' says Iran nuclear strikes were 'pointless'

A White House official who once referred to himself as a ‘raging misogynist’ has criticized Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran as ‘pointless’ and accused them of only benefiting the ‘deep state.’

Andrew Kloster is a general counsel for the Office of Personnel Management which manages the civil service for the administration.

Kloster, who was part of Trump’s team in his first term and most recently worked in a similar capacity for Matt Gaetz, aired a series of grievances about the United States providing ‘handouts’ to Israel and dismissed concerns about Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon as exaggerated.

An X user posted that ‘Iran’s nuclear sites being crushed seems a long-term benefit for the US.’ 

He responded from his now locked account: ‘I just think it was kind of pointless.’

Additionally, the lawyer retweeted Vish Burra, a former spokesperson for George Santos, who stated, ‘Can we please ignore this god-forsaken region of Earth and their tribal squabbles?’

Kloster – who’s social media bio once included ‘Suicide bomber in the Butlerian jihad’ in a reference to the ‘Dune’ novels – eventually deleted the posts, including one writing: ‘I apologize and will never again doubt the power of the deep state.’ 

It’s not the first time Kloster has set off controversy, as the liberal Project on Government Oversight claimed he called himself ‘a raging misogynist.’

He did tweet in 2023: ‘I’m 100% women respecter precisely because I’m a raging misogynist. I’m so kind you’ll want to kill yourself and die, which is the goal.’

Kloster has almost made comments regarding consent – calling it ‘probably modern society’s most pernicious fetish’ – and race – joking that ‘Slaves owe us reparations.’

The New York Post reported that Kloster is believed to be an ally of Sergio Gor, the head of the Presidential Personnel Office who was said to be against Elon Musk. 

DailyMail.com reached out to the Office of Personnel and Management for comment. A White House spokesperson declined comment.

Trump himself appeared to be showing frustration with both Israel and Iran on Monday.

The president went on a foul-mouthed tirade saying that both Israel and Iran violated the ceasefire deal that he announced Monday evening.

‘We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f*** they’re doing,’ Trump said before boarding Marine One en route to the NATO Summit early Tuesday morning.

The president said Monday evening that he had brokered a ceasefire between Iran and Israel after ordering his own strike on three Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend. 

Kloster - who worked for Trump during his first term and most recently served in the same role for Matt Gaetz - posted a string of criticisms of the U.S. giving 'handouts' to Israel and suggesting fears of Iran getting a nuclear weapon were far-fetched

Earlier Monday, Iran had retaliated by sending missiles toward the U.S.’s largest military base in the Middle East, located just outside of Doha in Qatar, which didn’t prompt a response from Trump. 

Instead he announced the ceasefire. 

On Tuesday morning Trump was fired up after Israel decided to launch another massive assault on Iran just as the deal was to take hold.  

‘Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I’ve never seen before, the biggest load that we’ve seen,’ an incredulous said.

‘I’m not happy with Israel,’ he added. ‘I’m not happy with Iran either. But I’m really unhappy if Israel’s going out this morning because of one rocket that didn’t land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn’t land. I’m not happy about that.’

Later Tuesday, a leaked intelligence assessment claiming Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran did not destroy Tehran’s nuclear program was deemed ‘flat-out wrong’ by the White House.

The report, conducted by the Defense Intelligence Agency and leaked by CNN, claims Saturday’s airstrike on three Iranian nuclear sites only set the country’s program back by months instead of completely destroying it.

Trump claimed the strikes ‘completely and totally obliterated’, a statement echoed by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt who dismissed the assessment as a ‘clear attempt to demean President Trump’.

‘Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration,’ Leavitt said. 

Trump faced calls for his impeachment on a sole charge of abuse of power over his launch of military strikes on Iran without first seeking authorization from Congress – but the House today overwhelmingly voted to block the resolution.
