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.

During an executive order signing, President Trump takes questions from the White House press pool on the results of the midterm election and anticipated legislative action for 2027.

As noted by President Trump, should the Democrat controlled congress seek to restrict or remove his tariff authority, much of the inbound domestic investment would stop.  This would be very detrimental to the economic health of the nation; however, ideologically the DSA led congress may not care.  WATCH:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio answers questions from media while visiting India.  The major focus of the questions to Rubio surrounded Ukraine and the conflicting stories from Zelenskyy.

Secretary Rubio noted he had just completed a 45-minute phone call with Zelenskyy where Rubio talked to the Ukraine President about his continued promotion of false reports to media about U.S. support and assistance.  As noted, Rubio emphasized nothing substantive has changed in the U.S. support profile with Ukraine and President Trump has not modified any security arrangement at all.  Zelenskyy is just making stuff up.

Rubio noted that Ukraine is targeting U.S. commercial shipping in the Black Sea and that has to stop. That was part of the phone call.  Additionally, Rubio emphasized how Ukraine officials are just “making stuff up” for some reason, that can best be considered a Ukraine political operation against the Trump White House.  WATCH:

Many Americans wonder why Ukraine is a central issue in the USA midterm election.  To those voices I would remind them that all aligned individuals and organizations who support the premise of Ukraine are core adversaries to the America-First doctrine.  At the end of every anti-Trump voice, is an alignment with Ukraine. At this point it’s impossible to ignore. Once you see it you can never unsee it.

There is a very specific way that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy publicly describes contacts with the U.S. administration when he is unable to manipulate the narrative within the conversation. What follows below is an example of that.

Note the difference in Zelenskyy’s tone.

[SOURCE]

The reality of dealing with a person skilled in diplomatic clarity (Rubio) is unnerving to those who are skilled at diplomatic political theater (Zelenskyy); their tone retreats, because the conversation is no longer swirling around pretense.

Zelenskyy, feeling empowered due to the anti-Trump elements that support him, speaks in a passive-aggressive tone and a disrespectful manner when generally talking about the Trump administration.

Zelenskyy’s prism is very narrow, self-centered, combative and bitter when he anticipates not getting his demands met. The most common reference for this expressed mindset is a teenage daughter who wants something indulgent, but her Mom/Dad is not willing to give in to the demands and expectations.  The daughter’s sympathetic friends are codependent enablers.

In the latest development, Zelenskyy is traveling to Oslo, Norway, where he will be surrounded by his codependents as he meets yet again with President Trump’s Emissary Steve Witkoff.  Why Norway? Why does Zelenskyy need to be surrounded by EU enablers when discussing terms and conditions?  The media always pretends not to notice this pattern.

In Norway Zelenskyy will be supported by Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere and Finland’s President Alexander Stubb.  I would remind readers that it was Norwegian PM Stoere who previously claimed Russia had attacked Zelenskyy’s airplane in Moldova with a drone strike – that nonsense was entirely made up yet spread by EU media quickly.
