After considering why Trump chose Miller to replace Soursi as Chief of Staff, it's worth noting that normally, after a midterm election defeat, a president would choose a moderate to ease tensions and strengthen alliances. Trump, however, did the opposite. There are two possible reasons: 1. To solidify his MAGA base: Compared to winning over centrist voters, Trump now prioritizes regaining the approval of his base and focuses on how to win back their understanding and support, especially by fulfilling his promises to MAGA. Faced with a major defeat, consolidating his base has become the top priority; only by stabilizing his base can he hope to turn the tide. 2. Miller's expertise in executive maneuvering and legal tools: He is well-versed in how to bypass congressional checks and balances and is very familiar with the workings of the federal machine. He possesses a deep and systematic understanding of how presidential executive power operates, and his strength lies in translating political promises into actionable, legally enforceable administrative actions. During Trump's second term, he spearheaded or participated in a series of unprecedented executive orders, including repealing the federal DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) program and withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. He even skillfully sought out obscure but highly damaging old laws (such as the 1798 Foreign Enemy Act) to provide legal grounds for large-scale deportations. Yesterday, he mentioned that "Mueller was pushing for political action to confirm that Trump could take executive measures without congressional approval," which seems to indicate that he was organizing people to thoroughly study the Administrative Procedure Act and many obscure legal provisions to find ways to circumvent it. We can expect to see frequent intense power struggles between the White House and Congress over the next two years.
