Debt Rattle November 8 2026

Today:
• Trump Removes Susie Wiles, Moves Stephen Miller to Chief of Staff (CTH)
The former Qatar lobbyist

Like I said, this was somehow quid pro quo, some kind of back-deal Trump had to place her. Why, no one has solid guesses.

“And Miller has accurately described the Democrat Party as a “domestic terrorist organization.”

A FOREIGN domestic terrorist organization.

Why don’t they like him? A: He’s competent. Miller should be the mid-range of people in government, instead he’s way over 99 percentile.

““Stephen Miller is a dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist”

Yes, like all the other “Right-Wing” everyone he works with is Brown, Hindu, Immigrant, Female, or Gay. Just like Hitler would have done it. #Fact-FreeZone. “Dangerous Xenophobe” means you marry immigrants, and have many children with them. I mean, Of Course!

This is why you can’t permit lies or the degradation of words.

““Stephen Miller is a radical ideologue who” Has Bill Clinton’s political platform. In fact, Trump is very solidly to the LEFT of Bill Clinton.

““Stephen Miller is a white supremacist,” Same sort of white supremacist as Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, and Clarence Thomas. Or the AfD, run by a gay, immigrant couple.

I mean, I know I SAY these people are gibbering insane each day, but it sounds like I’m just being mean, throwing insults. No, I’m being accurate. They constantly say Clarance Thomas is a white supremacist, and Melania Trump is xenophobic. Probably my saying that still doesn’t engage any gears, not even if they claimed they were all lizard people from the 47th Dimension!!!! Ack Ack. They’d still believe it and think it was a sensible, plausible idea normal people should engage with. No.

“we know that he will never backstab Trump the way that Vice President JD Vance did after the midterm with his remarks about Israel and Iran.”

You mean the comments that Trump equally agreed with a minute after? That kind of “Backstabbing”? Ah Republicans. Might want to fight the enemy once in a while, not each other. Nope.

“• Gas Prices are Dropping Fast. I Have Questions. (Tim O’Brien)

Yes, because 1) MORE oil is coming from the gulf than before the war. 2) There was no shortage 3) Because all prices are fantasy set in Brent London. Prices haven’t been real in decades, maybe generations. Remember oil going NEGATIVE? Oh yeah, totally normal.

Remember MF Global just stealing all user funds to get the money to rig markets, nothing happened? How about more naked shorts than there are stock certificates, in dozens of companies, no one cares? They took companies private, bought every share, had no effect on its trading or float. And for companies like Taser, not small. This is likewise in bank-traded Treasuries, with “Failures to Deliver” have no actual Treasuries, “Just Make Them Up” and nothing happens.

And you think oil or diesel prices were real? It’s just an advanced Politboro. Central Committee, setting prices, no Capitalism for 40 years.

“ oil reached $100 per barrel for 24-35 days.
The major takeaway from these numbers is pretty obvious. What we’ve experienced so far in 2026 is nothing new. 

But the CIA told me on the news! And I always trust the CIA! One war is uniquely bad and different from Obama’s 5 new wars. And starting world war in Russia, Jack.

“ she treated her devotion to the MAGA movement as the core of her political brand.
That changed last year. Greene and Trump had a nasty falling out,”

Yes. The media that refuses coverage of anything gave her infinity time and publicity. Hmmm. Then they had a “falling out.” Over nothing. Tuesday happened. Then she was NeverTrump. Hmmm. Same as the others.

“Let me explain to you what this really means”

Greene says politicians want political power and influence. How evil. He should NOT have power, and just let everyone do whatever they want with no focus at all, and not try to influence the direction. These kind of things are universal. Like they say “He’s a [Insert name here] Loyalist”. Because they should instead hire DisLoyalists? Yes! Yes, she says! The point of being in politics is to NOT try to influence the direction of policy. That would be silly. This is #logic they’re trying to slip under the tent.

No one will vote for Wiles, Greene says, although Wiles caused the 2024 landslide. Because: Reasons.

Well, that’s what happens when you have the CIA teleprompter on as she does.

“Tuesday’s election wasn’t a blue wave or even a blue tsunami: It was a blue apocalypse.”

Stop. It’s interesting. Trump lost HALF as many as the outlier midterm. Very normal. Yet we can see 99.99% of votes and stats are far-Left. So you can Reality a La Carte here, and don’t get fooled. Keep your head because saying “Tsunami” is an emotion-word, a opinion/conclusion, and not a fact. Which would be like “X number of people voted.” It’s not a Tsunami when it’s perfectly normal too.

“ But this was something else entirely. Fact is, Joe and Jane in flyover country didn’t vote for a trade war with Canada.”

And like much of this article, “and Trump didn’t CAUSE the trade war with Canada.” It was completely unrelated to him, and he doesn’t run Canadian Parliament. I mean, obviously? Canadian Parliament doesn’t run Parliament either, there are no discussions and debates, they rubber stamp whatever the EU wants but that’s a different issue. It’s an example of how careless – or fast and loose – this guy plays with the Truth. That is: why bother having Truth at all if you’re going to do this with it?

“Higher tariffs and more supply-chain reshoring means higher prices.”

No it didn’t and he knows it because the stats are out. Suppliers ate like 99% of those costs. Cost to the U.S. was zero. Just: Billions Free Money! And the Canadian report on the tariffs proved this among others.

“ the administration never actually made the case for the war to the American people.”

I agree, and this was unacceptable. Josh is a very base-level thinker. Like a voter. And maybe that’s okay, he has all the errors and lack of knowledge any other average voter has. That frustrates me because what he’s saying isn’t true, but it’s relevant. If voters think untrue things, you need to work on the message.

““These targets will get a J6 style corruption investigation, including subpoenas and alternate investigative resources.”
• 2027 Investigative Roadmap Against President Trump Previewed by FOX News (CTH)

Maybe. And Trump can arrest Congressmen and districts back at them, or credibly blackmail them he will do so. That’s why my explanation yesterday was in crayon. YES he can go all the way to dismissing Congress – and that’s critical, or they would just escalate – but he can ALSO tell them “I have this in the bag, and I have you and everyone you know on 10,000 counts of felony election fraud, funded by foreign governments. Play your part, and play ball.” They still look like enemies, the OTHER enemies still think it’s all real, but really 2/3rds are puppeted by the Executive MAGA. Do not approve, but the alternative is credibly Deagle, to kill 2/3rds of the U.S. population in a few years and everything here is turned to rubble, where Europe/London wins. Then chopped up into financial sub-colonies. Yeah, maybe not.

“Ruben Gallego says he wants to go after Elon Musk as soon as possible

Again, doesn’t occur to him to have an underlying crime. Doesn’t occur to the 100M DEMOCRATS that there should or needs to be an underlying crime. “He’s bad, we hates him.” All actions, however neutral, are interpreted as crimes. Female Orientation. We’ll make up whatever we need to. Facts need not apply.

“What all these anti-Trumpers want is a return to Bush-McCain-Romney Republicanism.”

You mean OBAMA Republicanism, as he carried over the same cabinet. That tells you where we were then. OBAMA bombed all the brown people, continuing Gen Clark’s “5 Nations Regime Change” from W. Obama ran the Famine, on the Arab Spring, …as One Does, when one is a communist … and that is to say they’re literally the same people. Identical. So there is no “Bush-McCain” people, there is only the CIA/Globalists, and local/Sovereigntists.

“She raised the issue on her talk show in October 2018. Cue the cancel culture mob once again.”

“We Hates them. So we makes things up.” Female Orientation. No facts, actual cause, need occur, and certainly no trial.

“life, or even the merits of hard work, and you do it on the web, on social media, you will be called a racist.”

All nouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives are racist. If we don’t like you. None of them are racist if we do. However, Chelsey says if you wear that dress again you can’t sit at our table. Which dress? I don’t remember, so good luck, honey. Ha ha.

“He argues that the U.S. banned sharia because of hate and discrimination,

Could it be because you can’t run two competing legal systems simultaneously? One or the other must prevail as they regularly conflict? Nah, that’s Logic not Power and therefore incomprehensible to him.

“Zohran tries to force a tear as he speaks out on being a victim of “Islamophobia”

Awwww, sad nepo-baby multimillionaire! He should get with the Swiss Private School NY Times editors.

“ French citizens of Christian ancestry move through these streets as tolerated outsiders, subject to the ordinary friction of harassment”

I thought to remark last night that, yes indeed, everyone remains mad at the Immigrants and not the Leaders who let them in, give them 5star hotels, $5k/mo, and a rape pass. How this works I haven’t figured out yet. Why say a word about them and not Starmer, who was Home Secretary, or Macron? Not one of them would be there if not for them, Soros, and the Roths/Blackrock that pay for it.

Doesn’t bother me/don’t care. They can have all the Islam they want in their own countries. Freedom and goodwill to all.

“SpaceX would add $1 trillion in annual revenue every year,”

Maybe. Money comes from somewhere though. When you get numbers this out of line, that matters. It’s like Google Ad revenue: ultimately it comes from advertising and sales. No sales = no ads. Same here. What production are you adding? Oh you’re going to make White-collar work 1/3 cheaper and that’s a Trillion dollars? No. It isn’t.

“The landmark study, covering an ENTIRE STATE, suggests that 331,500-522,000 Americans may have been killed by Pfizer mRNA shots ALONE.

And still no one cares. Because we picked sides and we hate them. We hate anyone who tells us. Facts have no effect whatsoever. Female Orientation. What I can’t get about this is that some huge % of the deaths are their children, and they still don’t care, or actually fight it MORE.

Probably if I dug down to the answer why, I wouldn’t want to know. Very dark.

What is the larger takeaway here? Reality doesn’t exist. THEY knew if they trickled out the Truth slowly enough, they could kill several million people — including a dozen members of your own family — and get away with it. And they were right.

SURVIVAL ATTITUDE
If it doesn’t bother me.
I don’t care.
I can’t change it.

2 Days Before The Talks: Russia Sends “ULTIMATUM TEAM” To Abu Dhabi 🕊️ Military Summary 2026.11.08

————-

BTW, is it not true that Sharia law ha a proscription against usury? Sounds very capitalist, very non-financialist, n’est ce pas? 🙂

Dear D:

Here is your home work. If you manage to complete it …

Reid: I can only assume you never read my line-by-line reviews or you’d know better. A common tactic right out of “Rules for Radicals (On how to kill all mankind)” To waste your opponent’s time with total bad faith arguments, not caring a bit what they say unless it allows you to wrest more power from them and kill more people.

Actually, since the last thing you posted I discarded as moronic before the expert could finish the title, I’m going to skip this one. Maybe tomorrow.

Let me guess, he believes:

“500 million Europeans expect 300 million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians who can’t defeat 40 million Ukrainians,who are conquered by 2 billion Muslims who claim to be persecuted by 9 million Israelis”

Dear D:

Did you know no one in the Trump camp is very bright?

“China and Russia want Iran to win the war”

Clearly not or they would help. At all. Even a little teeny tiny bit.

Instead Russia is shipping us buckets of diesel even to swing the elections.

This and other comments I bring up as uninformed or contradictory make me wonder who’s smart.

But I see what you mean: who could keep up with intellectual powerhouses like Biden and Trudeau?

​ Gold & Geopolitics, Your funds are safe (probably)​ – Terms and conditions may apply
In 1919 John Maynard Keynes wrote the bestseller that made him famous. The Cambridge man even agreed with Lenin: “the surest way to overturn a society is to debauch its currency”.
​ So (respect!) he put his money where his mouth was and shorted the German mark at ten to one on margin (yes, they already had that financial innovation!). By early 1920 the mark had lost 95% against the dollar, and everyone knew where this was going.
​ As markets set out to humble its biggest detractor, the mark more than doubled between February and June 1920.
​ By May, he was on the brink of personal bankruptcy. Only a £5,000 loan from one of the richest men in London kept him in the trade. (for those interested: he closed his trade with a profit.)
​ On Tuesday, because everything always happens on Tuesdays, about three million Paraguayans were locked out of their bank while they slept.
Roughly six in ten Paraguayan adults banked at Ueno, making it the biggest (and the first) digital bank in the country. Salaries and pensions landed in it, and even the state pension fund had about $380 million parked in it.
​ On Monday the central bank’s board voted unanimously to take it over, and overnight the app, the cards and the transfers all went the way of the dodo.
​ By Tuesday, massive protests ensued from ordinary people outside shuttered branches in Asunción, demanding their cash. And businesses were warning that commerce was half paralysed.​..
​..The central bank calls it an isolated case… isolated as in: affecting 60% of the country’s adults. isolated. yep, that kind.
Now luckily (like most of the developed world), Paraguay has a deposit guarantee. It covers up to about $38,000 per person, and for most ordinary customers that should cover everything. Above that, you’re a creditor of a failed bank.
​ Like… I don’t know? Some national pension fund with $380 million of other people’s retirements, maybe?​ I’m sure it’ll be fine.​ https://no01.substack.com/p/your-funds-are-safe-probably

​ Gold & Geopolitics, Your funds are … temporarily unavailable​ – Terms and conditions still apply
In Japanese, they have something called shin’yō kinko. Which is short for shinkin. Which stands for “trust vault”. Or, by its more common name: “banks”.
Yesterday, I asked you what your card would be worth when the bank gets switched off. Three million Paraguayans felt it live.
​ As if they’d read my previous article and wanted to see what would happen, 128 trust vaults in the west of Japan did EXACTLY what a vault is supposed to do.​ They locked.
​ And no, it’s a Friday. Not a Tuesday after all…
ATMs, teller windows, apps, online banking and transfers all went dark at once, and even PayPay had to stop top-ups from them.
​ Two weeks ago, when the PHP holes landed, 85 of Japan’s 95 regional banks switched bits of themselves off on purpose.
​ A service, as it turns out, is deemed extremely secure when it is no longer accessible.
The shinkin didn’t have to try this time around. For five and a half hours, 128 banks held the safest money in the country.​ https://no01.substack.com/p/your-funds-are-temporarily-unavailable

​ France’s Debt Crisis Could Trigger a Much Bigger European Meltdown
A budget deficit of 5.1% and public debt exceeding 115% of GDP raise concerns about France’s fiscal sustainability and the eurozone’s resilience.
Industrial decline, energy disruptions, political instability and growing nationalist movements are putting pressure on EU cohesion.
​ France’s presidential election, Poland’s political crisis and the rise of Central European nationalism could accelerate divisions within the bloc.​ https://oilprice.com/Geopolitics/Europe/Frances-Debt-Crisis-Could-Trigger-a-Much-Bigger-European-Meltdown.html

​ Nate Hagens, Who Won the Election?: The Blue Tsunami and the Superorganism
The election itself may be revealing a signal that the political system has yet to recognize – rising energy costs, shrinking household surplus, and growing affordability pressures have contributed to electoral losses for both parties. I see this as evidence of a problem upstream of conventional politics, rooted in the diminishing surplus that once made cheap food, cheap credit, and cheap energy possible. Overall, the essential work remains unchanged: bending instead of breaking, avoiding nuclear war, protecting the remaining biosphere, and cultivating a new cultural sense of the sacred. For me, this election is a reprieve and not a resolution. It serves as a reminder that those who disagree politically will still be neighbors through the Great Simplification.
​ What happens when the economic promises politicians make collide with the biophysical limits of the systems that sustain them? How can people move beyond political divisions to build the trust and shared purpose needed for the difficult work ahead? And does the electorate’s ability to respond to economic contraction offer evidence that democratic institutions can still recognize systemic signals, even when political leadership cannot?​ https://natehagens.substack.com/p/who-won-the-election-the-blue-tsunami

​ A Midterm Election Message from Vice President JD Vance
“One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was “composition”—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
​ So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we’re going to shock the world? “No,” he told me. “We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us.”​…
​..Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team.
​ The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
​ Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats.​ https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/11/04/a-midterm-election-message-from-vice-president-jd-vance/

The Houthis escalated hard against Saudi Arabia. They claim six operations; Reuters reports a projectile damaged a tower in Riyadh’s financial district, and satellite images show burned barracks in Najran.
​ Meanwhile CENTCOM extended the Iran blockade to land routes with a 20-person task force in Tampa, and Trump’s “minor strikes” hit Qeshm. In Israel, Herzog handed the mandate to Eisenkot and Netanyahu answered with a “by any means necessary” video; in Krakow, a gunman killed at least five.

​..Israel: Herzog gives Eisenkot the mandate (67 vs 46); Netanyahu’s “by any means” video; Tuesday’s Knesset session seen as a flashpoint
​ A former police commissioner warns that Tuesday’s Knesset convening, which Likud vows to stop, could be “a possible January 6 in Jerusalem” (wmiddelkoop).​
​ The mandate: Herzog tasked Eisenkot (BarakRavid). CNN says the path “remains complicated” (cnnbrk).
The count:​ Eisenkot has 67 Knesset recommendations, Netanyahu 46.
​ Netanyahu’s counter-offer was a “national unity government”, which he says would permanently remove Iran’s nuclear threat (Lord Bebo).
Washington’s role: per N12’s Ben Caspit, Trump allies told Eisenkot’s camp: “Swear in a government now, replace Bibi now” (HormuzLetter).
​ The video: as described in a post shared by Willem Middelkoop, Netanyahu urged supporters to stop any new government “by any means necessary”. He had not been seen in public for 11 days (wmiddelkoop).
​ Security services:​ Haaretz’s Amos Harel says Netanyahu’s handpicked Shin Bet director is actively helping the attempt to cancel the election result (wmiddelkoop).​ The Mossad chief continues his purge, replacing a top official with a close associate (haaretzcom).

​ Moon of Alabama, No Electricity But Lots Of Scandals – Ukraine Is Coming Apart
There seems to be little notice in the media that Ukraine is on the verge of a catastrophe. Its electricity network is on the border of systemic failure. The moral standing of its government within the Ukrainian population is breaking down.
While there has been lots of trouble with energy during the last winter the amount of the current disorder is on a different level.
For months now the Russian military has systematically dismantled critical points in the Ukrainian network. Kiev, which once had several combined heat and power plants, can no longer generate any of its needed electricity. Its sole supplies are now coming from far away nuclear power stations and are reaching the capitol through a few major switching station. There are now no days left without severe power failures…
..Amidst the coming cold critical infrastructure depending on electricity – transport, water and sewage – is likely to fail. Kiev is a central point in Ukraine’s electricity network. Several provinces depend on its network. When Kiev shuts down they fail too…
..This year the campaign by the Russians to paralyze Ukraine by destroying its electricity network seems to work…
​..Meanwhile the public and media are kept busy with several scandals.
Each Ukrainian military unit has a “pit” in which it illegally imprisons, tortures (and sometimes kills) renitent soldiers. Two days ago a protest against one these secret prisons near Kiev led to a scandal. While some prisoners were sent to a hospital the protesters were arrested and will likely themselves end up in jail.​ Another diversion erupted yesterday when the anti-corruption forces NABU arrested a high ranking officer of the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU)​ https://www.moonofalabama.org/2026/11/no-electricity-but-lots-of-scandals-ukraine-is-coming-apart.html

To claim that protection, Trump would have to argue that Kushner is one of the most important officials in government after insisting for two years that he isn’t part of it at all.​
​ Even if a court accepted that argument, the immunity doesn’t cover “inquiry related to their own private affairs,” and Kushner’s work at Affinity is private by definition. And because Kushner says he isn’t an executive-branch employee, the Senate could sue to enforce a subpoena on its own, without relying on Trump’s Justice Department.
​ Democrats could also go around him. They could subpoena Affinity, its auditor Ernst & Young, its custodian banks, including Bank of America, and partners in deals like the firm’s acquisition of Electronic Arts with Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund.
​ Investigators could demand records of Kushner. If Kushner refuses, there could be a contempt charge.​..
​..This could become a “Constitutional Crisis” should Trump try to issue a Pardon for Kushner. The Constitution’s Pardon Clause grants the President the power to “grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” …
..If the House of Representatives initiates an impeachment inquiry against Trump, it can compel Kushner to testify or produce documents through its subpoena power, provided that the subpoena is issued within the scope of the House’s authorized investigation. However, Kushner is not limited to the Fifth Amendment as a defense—he can also raise executive privilege (particularly with respect to communications with Trump), or challenge the validity of the subpoena itself.
​ A “constitutional crisis” depends on the definition. If defined as “one branch openly defying the core prerogatives of another branch“: This does have crisis characteristics, because Congress’s oversight power is being effectively neutralized, and it may retaliate through other means (such as blocking appropriations or refusing to confirm nominees).​..
..This is an institutional confrontation (political question), not a legal “constitutional crisis” in the narrow sense. The real consequence is usually a deadlock in congressional oversight, with the final resolution depending on the political will of Congress to pursue civil litigation or the outcome of elections.​ https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/politics/interesting-times-ahead/

​ Moon of Alabama, Trump’s Promotion of Stephen Miller Saves Hegseth’s Ass
In my preview of the midterm election I had predicted that Trump would fire Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth:
​ “The first pawn to go will be Secretary of Defense Hegseth. Nobody will lose a tear for him.​”
I had also said that Susie Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff, would be let go:
​ “The two people behind the war in Iran are Trump’s chief of staff (and Netanyahoo confident) Susie Wiles, as well as Trump’s Mossad handler and son in law Jared Kushner. There are plenty of reasons, including corruption, to fire both.​”
​ That turned out to be wrong. Wiles was fired immediately. But Hegseth is safe – for now.
I seem to have missed some connections.​ The wannabe Nazi Stephen Miller, Wiles’ deputy, is getting her job as chief of staff​… One of the first to congratulate Miller was Pete Hegseth​… I ​have now learned that Miller and Hegseth are intimate buddies​…
​..He has also become a central focus of socializing in Trump’s orbit. His wife, Katie Miller, a former Trump White House staffer, regularly throws parties and dinners at their residence on a military base, attracting cabinet and White House officials. They live near Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and they socialize with him and his wife, Jennifer Hegseth, a former Fox News producer, according to people familiar with the matter. He has forged tight relationships with leading administration figures, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
​ Less is known about his relations with Vice President JD Vance.​..
..Anyway – Miller, Hegseth and Rubio together are a formidable power constellation that may well overwhelm Trump.​ https://www.moonofalabama.org/2026/11/trumps-promotion-of-stephen-miller-saves-hegseths-ass.html

​ Trump Names Miller New Chief Of Staff As ‘Most Powerful’ Wiles Is Out​
Wiles’ departure would also mean the exit of one of the White House’s most powerful behind-the-scenes power brokers. During an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast this week, Calley Means, a former adviser to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., described Wiles as the “most powerful chief of staff in modern American history,” alleging that she exercised extraordinary control over virtually every major policy decision inside the Trump administration.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-names-miller-new-chief-staff-most-powerful-wiles-out

​ Ex-MAHA Insider Tells Rogan What Trump Didn’t Know About His Own White House​ – Former senior White House advisor Calley Means says he had full White House approval for a federal look at how much sugar American children eat – until Trump’s former Chief-of-Staff Susie Wiles killed it.​..
..Wiles, he said, was one of the country’s top lobbyists before the White House, and “her career has been taking money from the industries and foreign governments who would pay her the most money” – including, in his account, as a top consultant to Benjamin Netanyahu and to the pharmaceutical and pesticide industries. James Blair, the head of political operations and “her friend from Florida,” he said “has taken a lot of money from industries like the sugar industry.”​ https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ex-maha-insider-tells-rogan-what-trump-didnt-know-about-his-own-white-house

​ Marjorie Taylor Greene Has a Theory About Trump’s Big White House Shake-Up
​“I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
​ Trump had kind words for Wiles in the same post. “Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job!” he wrote. Greene had her own theory, which she shared in a video posted to X.
​ “So, I am very proficient in the dialect of MAGA, and I’m going to explain to you what that really means,” Greene said. “Susie Wiles is going to join Trump’s political team, so she’s going to move back into the same, operation that she was, before he was elected president in 2024, and there’s a very important reason for that, and that is because, she wants to be in charge, and President Trump wants to be in charge, of who the next president of the United States will be. And they want to continue to control the Republican Party.”
​ She then turned to Miller, claiming he already ran much of the White House. “So you can expect more of the same from the White House that you were probably already p****d off and frustrated about, only this time he’s going to go into a hyper mode because they’re about to get investigated in every way possible by the Democrats who are going to control the all-powerful House and Senate committees starting in January of 2027,” she said.
​ Greene went on to insist that the coalition that elected Trump in 2024 would reject whoever Trump and Wiles back in 2028. “They’re not conservative, so they don’t represent your conservative values, and they proved it,” she said. “They’re not truly Christian, they don’t represent your Christian values, and they are the ones completely responsible for this massive Democrat​ (win).​” https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/11/06/mtg-has-a-theory-about-trumps-big-white-house-shake-up-n4959119#google_vignette
