President Trump has appointed Stephen Miller as his new Chief of Staff, replacing Susie Wiles. While Wiles was viewed as a discreet and stabilizing force within the administration, Miller is known for his public combativeness and hardline ideological stances. The transition sparks debate over the administration's direction and the influence of white nationalist ideologies.
Right now, President Trump announcing a change up
in his chief of staff with an announcement
that he's pleased to announce that Stephen Miller,
the current deputy chief of staff
of the Trump administration
and one of his most trusted advisors, will become the chief
of staff starting Monday.
So it appears Susan Wiles is out,
the one person that people thought was the reasonable
person in the room.
I mean, who's to say if she actually was,
but there were plenty of Republican pundits
out there saying that she was reining him in.
Again, none of us saw this,
but she looked the part and acted the part and that she kept
quiet.
Well, Trump's.
No longer going to have her around.
It's interesting to know whether or not he fired her or if she left,
considering she had some real political power.
And maybe she doesn't want to be a part of it,
because Trump has officially entered his lame duck era.
have we heard from Susie Wiles.
She just sent a tweet, Tony,
one other distinctive difference between Susie Wiles and Stephen
Miller is that Wiles largely works behind the scenes.
She is not one to get in front of the
camera, to spar with reporters,
which is very different from Stephen Miller, who often likes
to push back in public and scold reporters about why,
you know, the Trump policy should be what
they are. But we have heard now from Susie in a tweet.
She wrote that today is my last day.
As White House chiefs of staff serving President Trump
in the White House has been the honor
of a lifetime. She goes
on to talk about how proud she is of what they have.
accomplished, including securing the border,
cutting taxes, strengthening the economy and
putting America first. And she says in closing,
Tony, that more than anything, she's grateful for
the extraordinary people that she has had
the privilege of working alongside. And she is
committed to working with the president and carrying out his mission,
even if she is not here.
We should say, Tony, that Susie Wiles is incredibly
popular inside the White House.
We've seen various chiefs of staff over the years who serve
President Trump. And this is one person I can say
who is widely respected by so many people.
I don't think I've ever heard
a staffer say anything bad about Susie Wiles,
which is pretty remarkable given how long she has been here, Tony.
All right. Weijia Zhang, thank you very much.
Major Garrett as well. A little note of reporting
here from our CBS colleagues in Washington.
Sources tell CBS News that Wiles gave Mr. Trump
her resignation on Thursday night.
This might be a different take, but I, for one, am glad
that he put Stephen Miller in as his chief of staff.
It actually might be the one honest thing
Trump has done because the white nationalist movement,
the white nationalist power.
Is what got Trump in office.
It is the power in the White House.
Stephen Miller is their spokesperson,
but usually they trot out a White House official
who spins in a certain way and tries to gaslight us,
like as if we are coming up with it, despite the fact that Trump
obviously got a start with further ism with Obama.
Came down that escalator,
slandering Mexicans or literally terrorizing Latinos in the street
with masked armed men
and at airports for the sole purpose of putting fear into people
of color.
Then, of course, he's trying to change
the Constitution outright by an executive order,
which is blatantly unconstitutional
because they want just white people here.
Stephen Miller is not one of those white officials
who go on their TV shows and try to come up with some sort of an excuse
or some sort of cover for what they're doing.
He actually says it like it is.
And I'm glad for once the American people get to have
an honest conversation and an honest fight about whether
or not this country is going to be.
Beholden and taken over by the white nationalist movement in power
or the power of the people, because the American people,
in response to all they have seen so far with how they
are treating people of color, is by they elected the most diverse.
slew of candidates in history as a rebuke
to all of that white nationalism, as a rebuke
to Hegseth purging the top brass of leaders
who are black or female because he says that they
somehow don't deserve it because they're not white men,
white Christian men. This is the
movement in the White House.
This is the power in the White House. Stephen Miller is
The white nationalist in chief.
So I'm glad we all get to be honest here.
That fight continues in the lame duck Congress.
This is not about me, but of course, the other side,
in case you've noticed, they're obsessed.
A disgruntled, defeated congressman,
along with all his Democrat allies,
has also dropped sham articles of impeachment against yours truly,
just like they tried against President Trump twice.
You see, their policies don't work.
So their obsession with political theater disguised as
power drives them to try to destroy their opponents.
It's all about the politics of
personal destruction.
Didn't work against President Trump, and it won't work with me.
Hegseth doubled down on his blatant white nationalism in his video.
about how they have to get people of color out of the ranks.
One of the articles of impeachment
that Thomas Massie has brought against him
is degrading the military because of the purges he has done.
Literally removed people with experience during a war
just because they were diverse,
because that fits into their white nationalist power.
That is Hegseth.
Now, is Trump going to fire him?
That's the big question.
Certainly, if he doesn't fire him, he is going to get impeached.
Seems like even Republicans want him to be impeached,
especially because of the fact
that it was a Republican who put forward the articles of impeachment.
And nobody likes this war.
Even J.D.
Vance came out saying that was why they lost the midterms.
I, for one, think that possibly Trump won't ask him to leave
because he might get a little satisfaction
in seeing somebody else get impeached.
Change that.
is how narcissist he really is.
And I even said that on CNN.
And not at all.
I mean, the American people just elected
the most diverse candidates rebuking this idea
that diversity is the evil of our problems.
The American people said the exact opposite.
One of the articles of impeachment
that Thomas Massie is filing
is his purging of the military,
degrading the readiness,
because he purged black women at Top Brass.
Thomas Massey, by the way,
is a Republican congressman who is on his way out, who is
filing impeachment against Pete Hegseth.
And there's a good chance we hear that this could
actually pass in a Republican House.
Absolutely. And the thing is with Trump,
he's behind somebody until he's not.
But I think he might not mind Pete Hegseth facing
impeachment rather than him. Right.
WTF America is officially out now. My brothers and I wrote
