Susie Wiles has resigned her position, and Trump has appointed Miller to the Chief of Staff position. > **[Trump says Stephen Miller to replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/11/06/trump-stephen-miller-wiles-chief-of-staff.html)** > > Trump revealed the shake-up three days after Democrats' landslide victory in the midterm elections, winning majority control of the House and Senate. “Asked about the move later Friday afternoon, Trump said, ‘I wanted to make a change.’” ---

**Moderating:** Since this thread was presumably opened in #Politics & Elections for a reason, let’s keep the jokes and cracks to no more than a +1 to the rest of your post. If it’s just a crack (as 90% are so far), I’m going to close the thread with an option to re-open in the Pit. I’m giving the thread a brief time-out so everyone reads this first. ~~ETA - @Daithi_Lacha, if you’re like this to be pre-emptively moved to the Pit, where unbridled Political humor has free run, you can PM me or flag it for a move by any available moderator of course.~~ The following Pit thread was recently bumped to discuss this same subject in the rudest possible terms: > [@Stephen Miller - Heinrich Himmler](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stephen-miller-heinrich-himmler/1020151/47): > > stephen miller will be chief of staff on monday 11/9/2026. For those who want to express their feelings without worry. ---

Natalie Harp will be gone within the month. Miller is exactly the kind of supercilious grand vizier-wannabe type who’ll resent anyone other than himself with direct access to the President. He’ll frame her for something, Trump will turn on her, and she’ll be out. Unless she’s already his creature, which is a possibility. ---

I don’t know if she’s one of “his”, but I think she’d be around because she’s a useful distraction. And he can threaten and bully her. Or just say “I’m helping him, this is what you need to do to help me help him.” ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > Natalie Harp will be gone within the month. He’ll find a pretext to deport her. He’s the architect behind the administration’s immigration strategy, after all. Listening to Trump a bit on NPR on my drive home, I heard him say he chose Miller because he has been with him a long time, he knows him well, and he considers him an excellent “manager”. I feel like any move that gives Miller more of a public face is going to be bad for Republicans. He already has a terrible reputation, much of the country loathes him, and he’s best suited to lurk in the shadows like Wormtongue. At least he wasn’t named as press secretary, though I’d love to see what that would look like. (Probably reporters asking questions and him just awkwardly staring them down in silence.) ---

I thought it weird that the resignation is effective the same day. However, AI tells me that the same was true with Ronald Reagan’s Don Regan. Regan apparently had a falling out with the First Lady. There must be a dramatic story for it to take effect same day. Am I missing it, or do we have to wait for the tell-all books? ---
