As the American people wiped the floor with the dirty mop known as Donald Trump in this week's midterms, the Great American Orangutan Moron is reacting to his own self-made failure by lashing out at his subservient butler cabinet members. Out the incompetent Susie Wiles and in the Zionist Nazi-Feratu Stephen Miller as his Chief of Staff, signaling a further hardening by Trump of his right-wing criminality and his determination to dig his heels and continue with his racist, xenophobic, white supremacist, pro-Zionist policies that the American people rejected lock, stock and barrel.
The whole world breathed a sigh of relief at watching Trump receiving a shellacking by an American people that woke up from their Trump-lies-induced sedation. But the brainless infant-man moron still has two years during which, it seems, he intends to continue raping his own country and everyone else on the planet so he and his billionaire family members and friends can continue stuff their coffers with more billions while the rest of us struggle with the disastrous consequences of Trump's policies on our livelihoods and on the world at large.

Roy Cohn taught Donald Trump the "art" of stubborn bonehead stupidity, which does not require any thinking, and which explains why a brainless moron like Trump excelled at it. There is no hope for the mongrel dumbass as he will never back down from the edge, but it is such a pleasant spectacle to watch a defeated morose imbecile throw himself under the bus in a final tragic act of sublime bêtise.

Stephen Miller Will Drag the GOP Further Into the Electoral Abyss
Matt Ford
Sat, November 7, 2026
As a high school student, Stephen Miller once told a booing crowd of his classmates that he was "sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us." Now he gets to reckon with a colossal political mess of his own making as the next White House chief of staff.
President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Miller, his deputy chief of staff and domestic-policy advisor, would take the top job in a post-midterms shakeup starting on Monday. "Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation," Trump said in a post on his personal social-media website. "I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff—She has done a great job!"
Friday's announcement came after Trump and Miller had effectively handed control of Congress to the Democrats. Two years of disastrous results on corruption, immigration, tariffs, and the Iran War alienated enough of the electorate that Texas went blue after 40 years of GOP control. Now Trump may have just handed Democrats the White House in 2028 as well by promoting his most extreme and destructive advisor to oversee the last two years of his presidency.
The shift was met with applause in the most far-right corners of American conservatism. "Stephen Miller is a wartime chief of staff," Brent Scher, the editor-in-chief of The Daily Wire, said on Twitter on Friday. "This is going to be awesome." Benny Johnson, a far-right YouTube personality, wrote on the social-media website that White House aides kept texting him "it's Miller time" after the news broke. "It's like the dogs have been let off the chain," he added.
As Trump's top domestic-policy advisor, Miller has functioned as a servile but ruthless shadow president for a chief executive who cares more about television footage than policy details. Like all authoritarians, Trump has attracted a mixture of thugs who revel in violence, weaklings who crave service to bullies, and opportunists who hope to advance their own fortunes. Miller has championed the deportation of as many immigrants as possible from the United States, taking an extreme approach even by GOP standards that evokes ethnic-cleansing campaigns and white nationalism.
Miller is also hostile to the American constitutional order and to international law. He argued unsuccessfully for Trump to suspend habeas corpus to round up immigrants last year and told CNN's Jake Tapper in a January interview that the U.S. should acquire Greenland by force. "We live in a world in which you can talk all you want about international niceties and everything else, but we live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power," he said, in remarks that would not sound out of place for a mid-20th-century German speaker.
His own leadership qualities are hardly stellar. Miller has a reputation throughout D.C. for openly berating junior staffers and senior officials alike for not effectively executing his draconian policies. A 2020 New Yorker profile recounted how he ended one such meeting with Department of Homeland Security officials by emotionally letting down his guard. "I didn't mean to come across as harsh," Miller reportedly confessed, describing his obsession with deportations. "It's just that this is all I care about. I don't have a family. I don't have anything else. This is my life." (He is now married with four children.)
During Trump's second term, he escalated a series of immigration raids in Los Angeles in 2025 by reportedly telling federal immigration officials to arbitrarily gather people off the streets. "Miller came in there and eviscerated everyone. 'You guys aren't doing a good job. You're horrible leaders.' He just ripped into everybody. He had nothing positive to say about anybody, shot morale down," an unnamed DHS official told The Washington Examiner last May, recounting a meeting that he had attended. "Stephen Miller wants everybody arrested. 'Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?'"
The snatch-and-grab tactics that DHS officials pioneered in Los Angeles and other major cities throughout 2025 came to a deadly conclusion this spring. Miller had championed the administration's siege of Minneapolis, where thousands of federal agents poured into the city and began grabbing suspected immigrants off of the streets at will. Massive protests and community actions disrupted some of the raids as Minnesotans tried to protect their neighbors. One federal agent shot and killed Renee Good, a writer with three kids, as she tried to drive away from one clash in her neighborhood in January. Another agent gunned down Alex Pretti, a local nurse, who tried to render medical assistance to a woman that the agent had knocked to the ground.
Footage of the shootings and protests prompted an intense public backlash to Trump's immigration policies. Millions of Americans were horrified at the sight of masked federal agents gunning down their fellow citizens in the street with no consequences. Miller was not among them. He described Good and Pretti as "domestic terrorists" and forcefully advocated for the administration's tactics in Minneapolis throughout the campaign. After other Republicans begged him to change course, Trump wound down most of the operation shortly after Pretti's killing and fired Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem a few months later. Miller stayed put.
Miller has often argued in recent years that Democrats are "not a legitimate political party," but rather a "domestic extremist organization." Nonetheless, his elevation is good news for Democrats in the short and long term. Trump had initially struck a rare conciliatory note in the wake of the GOP's crushing losses this week. He accepted the election results after more than a decade of election denialism when things didn't go his way. His administration's half-hearted, half-baked efforts to challenge ballots and candidates in Alaska, California, and elsewhere faded away overnight.
"We'll, you know, look forward to working with them," Trump told two New York Times reporters in a phone call on Election Night, referring to Democratic leaders. "We'll probably work something out." Similar messaging from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer led to growing rumbles in Democratic circles about whether they should be elected House speaker and Senate majority leader, respectively, when the new Congress takes over in January.
A defter and more chastened Trump might have made life difficult for Democrats in Washington by trying to compromise with Democrats, dividing a fractious political party that is normally united in opposition to him. Miller's promotion has brought that potential honeymoon period to a close. "Stephen Miller is a dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist who has American blood on his hands," Jeffries said in a post on Twitter on Friday. "His presence in government should be eradicated like a malignant tumor. Fire him today."
Trump's announcement is also the first major shake-up of his administration's top ranks since Democrats recaptured Congress by overwhelming margins on Tuesday. The president said he wouldn't dismiss Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Thursday despite calls by conservatives for him to step down or be fired. Democrats and Republicans alike blame him for the disastrous course of the Iran War. Outgoing Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie, a frequent Trump critic, plans to bring an impeachment vote against Hegseth later this month. Congressional Democrats are reportedly eager to target him with oversight hearings next year as well.
Indeed, nearly all of Trump's second-term departures have been women. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned over reports of the toxic, harassment-fueled workplace that she allegedly cultivated. Trump dismissed Attorney General Pam Bondi for failing to prosecute his enemies and botching the Epstein files scandal. Noem was shuffled out of her role after the failed siege and occupation of Minneapolis, as well as a variety of corruption and personal-misconduct scandals. Kimberley Guilfoyle, the president's son's ex-girlfriend, lost her job as ambassador to Greece for soliciting payouts in writing from foreign billionaires in September. Katie Zacharia, a woefully inept hire who falsely described her legal credentials, only lasted four days as White House press secretary last month.
Trump's chiefs of staff also have a tendency to not stick around for long. Wiles was the fifth person to serve in the position so far. The role is a stressful and grueling one under any president. Only three of the twenty-five people to hold the post since 1981 have served for an entire four-year term, and none have done it in the last twenty years. Most do not even make it to a second year. Wiles' tenure was the second longest one of Trump's tenure, and was awarded to her in thanks for masterminding Trump's re-election campaign in 2024.
A White House chief of staff's power and responsibilities can vary. Generally speaking, they oversee the political staff at the White House. They coordinate policy decisions by the president and various other portions of the executive branch. They liaise with Congress and foreign officials. They go on cable news shows and talk to reporters behind the scenes. Some chiefs of staff, like Jim Baker under Reagan or Rahm Emanuel under Obama, can become nationally known figures in their own right, wielding more influence than even top Cabinet officials.
Like her fellow Trump-era predecessors, Wiles fell on the weaker end of the spectrum. Trump is notoriously capricious and mercurial. He is prone to trusting long-time sycophants like Miller over newer faces and more experienced voices. John Kelly, who served as Trump's second chief of staff during his first term, later publicly warned Americans ahead of the 2024 election described the then-ex president for whom he had worked as a fascist and predicted that he would govern like a dictator if re-elected that fall.
Indeed, during the first half of his second term, Trump exulted in his lack of constraints—thanks to a MAGA-stocked executive branch and congressional Republicans' supine posture—and simply did whatever he wanted. By most accounts, Wiles had comparatively little influence to other prominent Trump allies. She found herself overshadowed by Elon Musk, the South African-born billionaire who destroyed federal agencies and laid off civil servants in the first few months of 2025, and by Miller himself, who oversaw the Trump administration's sprawling mass-deportation agenda.
Now, Miller gets to supervise the wreckage of his own mistakes. He enthusiastically championed Trump's tariff policy, which drove up prices for Americans and wiped out entire markets for U.S. agriculture and manufacturing. After the Supreme Court struck down most of the tariffs in January, he denounced the justices in the majority as "cowardly." Even many devout MAGA enthusiasts regarded the Iran War as a betrayal of Trump's promise to avoid wars in the Middle East and prioritize American interests. Miller has vocally defended Trump's decisions even as the economic and political fallout doomed his fellow Republicans at the polls.
For Democrats, Miller represents all of the Trump administration's worst decisions—its authoritarianism, its bigotry, its arrogance, and its foolishness—in one person. There is little doubt that Miller will continue to push the second Trump administration down its self-destructive path, and that he will drag the rest of the GOP down with him. Vice President JD Vance, the putative GOP frontrunner for 2028, gets to spend the next two years publicly defending every extreme decision that Miller makes even as the electorate demands a new course. Other Republicans on the campaign trail will have to decide between embracing Miller's unpopular policies or distancing themselves from an angry, vengeful power center of far-right American conservatism.
Past presidents have spent the last two years of their administration trying to make things a little easier on their party and their successors. George W. Bush faded out of public view in 2007 and 2008 to avoid tarring the rest of the GOP with his deep unpopularity after the Iraq War and Hurricane Katrina. Bill Clinton, stung by the Lewinsky scandal and his then-historic impeachment, rarely appeared on the campaign trail in 2000 as Vice President Al Gore sought to turn the page. With Miller at the helm, there will be no quiet twilight for the Trump era. The two men will continue to inflict as much harm as they can on the country—and, by extension, on any remaining hope for the GOP to stay in the White House or reclaim power in two years' time.

With Stephen Miller pick, Trump readies for a battle
Anthony Zurcher - North America correspondent
Sat, November 7, 2026
In the aftermath of the Republican Party's sweeping defeat in Tuesday's midterm elections, Donald Trump said he would be willing to work with the newly ascendent Democrats in Congress.
On Friday, however, he elevated Stephen Miller, his bare-knuckled political operative and longtime adviser, to replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff.
Far from an olive branch to Congress, Miller's promotion could be a sign that the president is girding for political battle by installing a partisan firebrand in the top White House job.
"The mission now is more clear than ever: Fight with all of our soul to support our president and defend this magnificent republic," Miller posted on X, adding that he was "honored beyond words" to be Trump's pick for the job.
One of the most powerful positions in Washington, the chief of staff is gatekeeper to the president, agenda-setter in the White House and chief negotiator with Congress and other outside political interests.
"Stephen Miller's been with me since the beginning," Trump said in comments to reporters after announcing the move on his Truth Social website. "He gets it."
Miller is best known for being the driving force behind the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement policies, which has included ramping up funding for enforcement operations across the US.
He made headlines when he called Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed by federal immigration officials during a massive deportation operation in Minneapolis, a "domestic terrorist" and an "assassin". He would later walk back those words, saying federal agents "may not have been following" proper protocol.
He has also reportedly played a leading role in the US military operations in Venezuela and against suspected drug trafficking operations in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, which critics have condemned as extra-judicial killings.
Miller joined Trump's political operation early in his 2016 presidential bid as a strategist and incendiary warm-up speaker at his raucous campaign rallies.
He was one of the few senior White House staffers to persevere through the entirety of his first term. He stayed loyal to Trump during his political exile following attempts to overturn his ballot-box defeat in 2020 failed. He then returned in the influential role of deputy chief of staff for policy in Trump's second term.
Wiles, who co-managed the president's successful 2024 re-election campaign, developed a reputation as a cool professional who avoided the White House staffing upheavals, dramatic policy reversals and personality clashes that typified Trump's first presidential term.
The president, however, began souring on Wiles in recent months, as his political standing in the US declined, culminating in Tuesday's electoral rout. He also reportedly chafed at news stories indicating that those in Wiles' orbit were landing lucrative consulting jobs through their connections to the president.
What has Stephen Miller's role been in Trump's second term?
Miller's hardline views sets up clash with Congress
While Trump praised Miller's effectiveness as a manager on Friday, working with Congress could prove to be a challenge.
It is difficult to overstate how disliked Miller is by most Democrats – and some Republicans.
"Stephen Miller is a dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist who has American blood on his hands," Democratic House leader Hakeem Jeffries wrote on X. "His presence in government should be eradicated like a malignant tumor."
Earlier this year, Miller posted on social media that James Talarico, who had just secured the Democratic nomination to run for Senate in Texas, was "their first transgender Senate candidate".
The Democratic Party offered a terse, obscenity laced reply, telling Miller to shut up.
Now Miller will have to negotiate with a US Senate that includes a newly elected Talarico as one of its rising stars, after an election in which polls found that 58% of voters believe the administration's immigration enforcement actions had "gone too far" and Hispanics decisively turned against Republican candidates.

On Wednesday, in a social media post attempting to explain the Republican midterm defeats, Vice-president JD Vance - who is an early frontrunner for the Republican 2028 presidential nomination - wrote that he was "open to the idea that we should change enforcement- by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance".
That now seems less likely with an immigration hardline taking the White House helm.
Thom Tillis, the North Carolina Republican senator who is retiring at the end of the year, has been particularly vocal in condemning Miller. He has called him "incompetent" and "the architect of some of the dumbest proposals from the Trump White House".
Other Republicans, however, have sung his praises.
"Stephen Miller has been a true conservative warrior since his days as a Senate staffer, a staunch defender of law and order against illegal invasions and leftist lawlessness, and a steadfast fighter for President Trump for over a decade," Utah Senator Mike Lee posted on X after Trump's announcement.
At a time when congressional Democrats are promising to launch new investigations and oversight into the Trump administration, it appears that a "warrior" and a "fighter" is the kind of person the president wants to have running his White House.
