You have to make moves....
.@POTUS: "@StephenM will be the new Chief of Staff... I wanted to make a change. I think Susie has done a very good job, but... We gotta make moves. Sometimes in life, you have to make moves."

Now, you will see an unrestrained Trump.....and, why not? Trump has nothing to lose.
In a week of It's So Over's, we now - finally - have our It's So Back. Congratulations to the patriot's patriot @StephenM. Do what must be done. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy.

This was always the plan.
Neocons and Never Trump’ers (New MAGA affording to Trump) want Democrats to sweep the midterms. Impeach Trump. Then get JD out of the way. They are willing to lose 2028 to make this happen. That is New MAGA.

Brutal for GOP
Incomplete '26 numbers, but some brutal shifts for Republicans here when comparing Xavier Becerra's totals against Newsom '18 & '22 and Trump '20 & '24

De Santis has been on fire …..

Democrats plan to “tackle” affordability, but they will not address the reason — massive borrowing, printing and spending — we have had and continue to have inflation in the first place. If anything, they will add gas to the fire like Biden did.

If she pursues DSA policies, I doubt she lasts two years.

Agree. Keep the border closed, enforce the law, targeting criminals and end the war - we won and leave . Let the next GOP presidential candidates fight with the Neocons.
The RINO establishment is already using the disastrous midterm election results to push a return to Bush- and Biden-era amnesty policies. But we should ignore them and double down on immigration, the only silver lining from Tuesday's results. To regain voters' trust on the economy: End the war in Iran and Ukraine to bring down prices, cool inflation, and grow wages. To further turbocharge real wages (the "mother's milk" of Main Street prosperity), keep restricting migration to our country. Continue blocking illegal immigration, and reduce or fully impose a moratorium on legal immigration. A laser-focus on the home front plus restricted immigration is the formula to grow Americans' paychecks, fuel prosperity, and win back blue-collar workers, including Hispanics. The path is NOT open borders or amnesty!

True
This is completely ridiculous analysis. Prices were the number one issue for voters in the midterm elections after they spiked because we engaged in a war of choice at the urging of Netanyahu and Israel. Before the Iran War, the average price for regular gas fell below $3 per gallon in 43 states. On Election Day, gas averaged $4.11 a gallon nationally, a record high for an Election Day. Diesel hit about $6.28. Before the Iran War, mortgage rates dropped below 6% for the first time since 2022. This week, the average 30-year mortgage rate stands at 7.18%. Before the Iran War, private sector workers’ real wages grew 1.3% in just one year. Now, real wages are down 0.7% over the past year. So before the war started... inflation was cooling, wages were growing, and the economy was on a great trajectory. Don’t blame tariffs for the consequences of another failed Middle Eastern intervention.

Yes. Let the battle for the party begin......
In point of fact, the person who speaks honestly about the war, both privately and publicly, is NOT TO BLAME for the failure -- ONCE FREAKING AGAIN -- of the devastatingly toxic neocon stranglehold on the GOP. THIS IS MADNESS.

Good advice Mr. @POTUS
"...'Speak loudly and carry a small twig' isn't working. Declare victory, rename Iran 'East Mississippi' and get these presidency-destroying psychopaths off your speed-dial."

JD Vance will not be the 2028 GOP nominee for President
The knives are out for Vice President JD Vance, and Newt Gingrich just drew his.

Gov. Ron DeSantis says he knew Republicans were in trouble when he saw them spending hundreds of millions on transgender ads. DeSantis went to war with Disney over gender ideology in 2022. Even he says Republicans were "fighting in yesterday's battle." DESANTIS: "I knew Republicans were in trouble when I was reading an overview about what they were running ads on. And they're spending hundreds of millions of dollars across the country on on transgender ads." "Look, I fought Disney on gender ideology… But that was not the issue motivating voters." "It was kind of like an attempt to just scare Republicans to vote." "Republicans… they really were fighting in yesterday's battle."… Last month, Pew asked Republican voters which issues mattered most. Their top 5: the economy, immigration, the future of democracy, violent crime, and the size of government. Transgender issues ranked 15th out of 16.

🚨 Don Jr Says the Iran War Largely Caused the Republican Losses in the Midterms “Whether you think it was the right decision or not, the Iran war is largely what shifted voter sentiment and caused this wave. It jacked up the price of gas … and it it changed their minds. We also campaigned on not getting into these things.”

DeSantis on the Ohio race: “They beat Vivek like a drum. I don’t know why they pushed him to be the candidate there. Ohio is a working-class state. Vivek is a tech guy who wants to bring in foreign workers.”

If Democrats go after scum, they will sweep 2028, as the public will be aghast. Pardons for sale. Insider trudging. World Liberty Financial. Gulf oil money for "investment funds." It would be a bloodbath. But my guess is Dems will focus on harassing Elon, which will backfire.

Yes. Gavin Newsom is a liar - just shocking
It should be noted that Gavin Newsom, while running for governor in 2018, specifically pledged to honor voters' decision to keep the death penalty. Almost immediately after inauguration he declared a moratorium on executions and now is granting clemency to death row inmates.
