    Remember when he used to spray paint “hair” on his head?

    He is bucking for a vice presidency, I think. He’s in my opinion the most dangerous man in the White House.

    They did a coup last time. Pretty sure they are planning to do another in two years. Miller is just starting with the planning already, moving up in position to start up the fuckery.

    In case anybody who isn’t convinced that this Trumpland isn’t a festering racist conclave of rats and haters who have no compassion for human life if their colour isn’t white, then this appointment of the head rat should spell it out clearly to the whole world that the UNITED STATES is now run by a mentally unbalanced demon!

    Shit about to get even more fascist. Wiles was a piece of shit but a as semi-competent one.

    Miller is going to go hard on fascism and give access to Trump to the worst people.

          Bold of you to assume he’ll live that long. His dementia is very very obvious and he looks like warmed over shit (more so than usual). Every clock tick is getting louder and louder

            I’ve been hearing some variation of “he’ll be dead in a few months” for at least 6 years - I’m not at all convinced unless I see some actual progress.

            His dad lived longer and he’s got the best healthcare in the country. Evil people love proving everyone wrong about how long they’ll live.

            By all means, I hope I’m wrong.

              True but his dad wasn’t obese with a McDonalds and Diet Cokes only diet and a history of taking uppers. He also didn’t take large quantities of aspirin. So I think you will be wrong!

                I mean I can then again say that Trump’s medical attention has probably vastly outclassed whatever his dad may have received, although I do agree that Trump’s lifestyles are probably more insane / prone to risk.

                If I was a billionaire, I’d personally put about a million on him dying either right after he gets out of office or like within the same year he reaches his dad’s age which is checks notes…. 93. Trump is 80. Oof lol, never-mind about living anywhere near him.

                I’d say he makes it to 83, ultimately dying of total heart failure - primarily caused due to no longer having the joy of being king to keep his soul attached to that rotten, decrepit corpse he calls his body.

                • Of course this would be with his conditions being worsened by his 8-ball combination of STDs, drug abuse, science denial/ignorance, and near life long lacking of physical/aerobic exercise.

                  Hey, look on the bright side. If he lives to 93 he could actually see consequences for all this shit.

      In case anybody was in doubt about what Trump’s response to the midterms would be – it is, of course, the double down.

    This is not a signal that Trump is thinking of compromise. Chief of Staff is an incredibly powerful position. By controlling access to the president, they have more control over policy than most cabinet members.

    This may be less so w/ Trump bc he’s such an undisciplined POTUS. But any power Miller gets will surely be used for wickedness.

      Especially because Miller knows the specific ways to manipulate Trump - it’s how he’s embedded himself so deeply already, effectively controlling domestic law enforcement, immigration and DOJ policy, despite that he still had layers of people separating him. Now by controlling access, he can decide exactly what Trump hears and therefore thinks.

      I think we got lucky in 2026 with ICE not at polls, but I think this is the earliest signal to not take a victory lap yet, and that they will try a full coup in or by 2028. It will be VERY hard with them losing the House and Senate, but I still think Miller will try.

        I’ve been uncharacteristically optimistic all week, I haven’t used any drugs since before election day but I am riding high on a sudden newfound optimism for the future of America, im really excited to see how 2028 plays out, I feel like MAGA is in for a quick demise, and yet there is still a cynical part of me waiting for it all to come crashing down any day now, I worry I’m in for a dangerous crash at the end of this high

      This may be less so w/ Trump bc he’s such an undisciplined POTUS.

      This is even more so with Trump, because he’s so easily manipulated. He always tends to agree with whoever he talked to most recently – he even had a meeting with Mamdani and came out of it repeating all Mamdani’s talking points and praising what a great guy he was. With the Chief of Staff largely controlling who has access to him, the Chief of Staff can control who he gets manipulated by.

    Anyone who thought Trump was going to moderate his rhetoric was definitely dreaming. Prepare for the White House to be much, much worse.

        Pragmatically, this might work out for us. Based on how little we ultimately know about Susie Wiles, relative to the rest of the chronies, I’d assume she was much more competent than Miller will be about keeping things coaligned as much as possible as they’re trying to coordinate the interests (seemingly in this order) of:

        1. Trump
        2. Trump family
        3. Epstein co-conspirators / blackmail assets
        4. US oligarchs / federalist society (i.e. John Roberts, Russ Vought, Musk, Heritage foundation, etc.)
        5. Russia
        6. Israel
        7. Saudi Arabia
        8. Other foreign nations
        9. Foreign oligarchs
        10. Chronies (Rubio, Miller, Hegseth, etc.)

        I can all but guarantee Susie was actually phenomenal at this, given the difficulties. For ex, I assume Miller is going to prioritize white supremacy over Israel obviously unless it’s a really good deal. He will likely not support Rubio’s decisions nearly as much. Stuff like that.

          Ohh good points. Hadn’t thought about it from this angle…I’m curious to see who they bring in as the deputy now, if its Stephen millers wife, you know its going to be all about the priorities you outlined above. I think he is ultimately going to fail at keeping the staff in line, and you will see more people leave and lots of leaks about what is being planned. But thats just my uneducated take on it lol.

            That never matters. These people view being a minority in anyway as something that primarily applies to poors, leftists, or really anyone who’s not in their club.

            It’s why Kaash or Vance’s wife are even allowed in the vicinity. They’re white christians by proximity.
