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 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.
True. But if Miller keeps putting people in front of him that he hates, it will just lead to him crashing out at Miller. I could see a scenario where after a big blow out Natalie whispers in his ear, while she places her hand on his upper thigh and says “sir, we don’t need him”

Like the god-damned villain in a horror movie that just won’t die
We need some prosecutions to make it harder for the MAGA nazis to return
