Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

There is no singular scapegoat here that deserves full blame for the problems within the Trump Administration T2; however, what Calley Means outlines in this segment of an interview with Joe Rogan is factually accurate.
Susie Wiles was the White House gatekeeper and her career as a political lobbyist, political consultant, political manager of campaign etc., gave her a certain skillset -all based around money- that made a problem. Her total domination of everything in/around Trump also made her the epicenter of governance and Wiles made every decision in the administration because she demanded full control.
Several MAGA people ended up in conflict with Susie Wiles and she was ruthlessly controlling. It was Wiles who selected Pam Bondi (both from Ballard Partners). Bongino had a big run-in with Wiles on the Epstein stuff. Gabbard had to tread on eggshells around Wiles while trying to retain critical access. The MAHA agenda was considered frivolous by Wiles and the small crew she used to manage everything. WATCH:
[Susie Wiles loved Pam Bondi and John Solomon, go figure!]
We said from the outset Wiles would likely be a problem because she’s donor-centric, a typical Republican. Democrats chase power, Republicans chase money. Democrats use money to get power; Republicans use power to get money.
The Wiles Inc. focus on money, including direct benefits to her family, is now the weapon DSA congressional committees will use to target Trump. Every financial angle used to attack Trump tracks to the poor decision-making of Susie Wiles. However, at the end of the accountability path – the buck stops with President Trump.
President Trump travels to NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida and will deliver remarks. President Trump is participating in NASA’s “MAX POWER” aerospace technology expo, which showcases advances in aviation, space exploration and emerging technologies.
The appearance today comes as the Trump administration pushes to return American astronauts to the moon by 2028, a key goal of the space agency’s Artemis program. The president signed a proclamation on Election Day declaring that the Earth’s solar system and outer space “are open to exploration, development, use, and the establishment of a permanent presence” by U.S. citizens. Anticipated Remarks at 6:00pm ET, with Livestream Links Below:

As President Trump departed the White House, he paused to answer brief questions from the assembled press pool. Video Below:

The former Qatar lobbyist for Ballard Partners, former political consultant and former 2024 campaign manager for candidate Donald Trump who became the Chief of Staff and gatekeeper of the White House, has been removed as Chief of Staff following the 2026 midterm election.
President Trump has appointed Stephen Miller, a wartime consigliere as the Chief of Staff effective Monday.

Mrs Wiles famously took the position of Chief of Staff on the condition that she could “keep the crazies” away from President Trump. Wiles became the gatekeeper to the White House controlling every point of access to the president.
One of the issues of concern when Wiles initially took office was her career as a lobbyist, consultant, campaign manager and donor organizer, gave her a career perspective predisposed to view finance as a key for influence and access. Those concerns never really diminished. Mrs. Wiles returns to her comfortable place in the political operation.
Mrs Wiles relayed her message of departure via X Platform:
A DSA/Leftist think tank led by former Biden, Warren and Sanders congressional aides has assembled a 182-page strategic blueprint mapping out Democratic congressional investigations in the House and Senate targeting President Trump’s family, corporate allies and donors. {SOURCE}
This is one aspect to a coordinated plan, isolate – ridicule – marginalize.
The document, obtained and analyzed by Fox News Digital, names Tesla, Apple, Amazon, OpenAI, Meta, Google, Microsoft, Oracle and others as targets for potential hearings. It also names Palantir’s Alex Karp and Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong individually.
However, the important point, the blueprint goes beyond corporate targets, urging scrutiny of Trump’s personal finances, his tax arrangements, cryptocurrency businesses and alleged preferential treatment of corporate donors.
The primary targets, not expressly outlined (yet) due to the strategy they are deploying, are Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, the Trump Media organization and Trump Holdings. These targets will get a J6 style corruption investigation, including subpoenas and alternate investigative resources.
A longtime Democratic Senate staffer familiar with the process says Democratic majorities on these committees already plan to exclusively focus on targeting business allies and individual donors to the president, including those who donated to the new White House ballroom.
.…the document also mention plans for restricting corporate ownership and pricing practices”…

Unfortunately, as noted in the initial predictions for 2027 legislative expectations it appears the ability of President Trump to execute an America-First economic policy is going to be targeted. Incoming Democrat committee leaders are intending to write laws reversing President Trump’s tariff ability, starting with Canada.
The Wall Street Journal, a media outlet who have long been against U.S. protective tariffs, are outlining the Democrat plan. Considering the likelihood of a Presidential veto the democrat plan includes attaching legislation to the tariff authority repeal that will stimulate Republican support.
Congress can override a presidential veto with a two-thirds majority, or 290 votes in the House and 67 votes in the Senate given all members are voting. As of Thursday evening, Democrats had captured 253 House seats and 54 Senate seats.
This is where we evaluate internal leftist politics. Some democrats support tariffs, particularly in states where industrial manufacturing, auto plants, steel and aluminum are critical sectors to their economy. However, caution here is advised as you may remember the ‘blue dog’ democrat coalition that was against Obamacare were eventually crushed by the weight of the socialist movement within the Democrat party.
(Via WSJ) – Democrats are eyeing President Trump’s trade war with Canada as the first target in a campaign to roll back his administration’s tariff agenda, according to the party’s senior trade lawmaker in the Senate.
“There is overwhelming support for repealing the tariffs on products from Canada,” said Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.), the Ranking Member on the Senate Finance Committee, who added that he was “already talking” with colleagues about legislation to push against Trump’s second-term levies after he gains control of the committee in January.
