[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all realize that Miller is the evil mastermind behind the impending fascist regime? It’s happening. Enjoy your stupid cult, MAGA.[/quote]

If Trump knew that his positive rating would increase by 40 point if he dumped Miller do you think he would do it?[/quote]
Never. Dumping Miller would be an admission that he hired the wrong person. It's the same reason Hegseth and Noem still have jobs.[/quote]

Nothing Trump ever does is an admission. Brand the guy a traitor, throw him under the bus, and make a big flashy show of punishment. MAGA will go along like they’ve gone along every other time. And maybe you’ll get some Independents and “if only Dear Leader knew” idiots back in your fold, too.

It’s a win win for Trump. [/quote]
Something has changed though. In the first year of Trump's first term he threw lots of people under the bus. Some were because they were establishment Republicans (Priebus, Spicer), some diverted too much attention away from him (Bannon, Mooch), some because they failed to sufficiently protect him from Russiagate (Comey, Sessions), some because they got into scandals that even Trump couldn't defend (Price, Flynn).

Who's gone under the bus this year? Mike Waltz took the fall for Signalgate but is now UN ambassador. Matt Gaetz maybe?[/quote]

There are two key reasons for what's changed in his second term:

1) The key staff he hired during his second term were chosen specifically because they are trusted MAGA loyalists. They are not the "normies" that were thrust on him by the GOP during his first term and who he feels betrayed him or did not obey him sufficiently. And he values loyalty (albeit a one-way one) above all else.

2)  He apparently has a "no scalps" policy when it comes to the people he has personally hired. Firing them would be perceived as a "win" for Democrats, the media, or critics so he avoids giving them the satisfaction regardless of his true feelings about the person. He never wants to appear as if he is conceding to pressure to fire anyone.

Trump, famous for firing people, has parted with few top aides this term. Why?
