Trump Faces Criticism for ‘Dangerous’ Stephen Miller Appointment as White House Chief of Staff

THE GUARDIAN: Democrats and Republicans blast promotion of ‘xenophobe’ who led administration’s immigration crackdown in wake of US midterm elections

Democratic lawmakers decried Stephen Miller as a “hatemonger”, a “xenophobe” and “vile” after Donald Trump appointed his most trusted adviser as White House chief of staff.

On Friday afternoon, the US president abruptly announced via his Truth Social platform that Miller – the architect of his sweeping immigration crackdown – would replace Susie Wiles, whom he confirmed had been ousted.

The announcement came just days after voters overwhelmingly elected Democrats in the US midterm elections, a sharp rebuke of Trump’s agenda that ended his Republican party’s control of US Congress.

“For Trump to promote this hatemonger shows he has learned nothing,” Dick Durbin, a Democratic senator from Illinois, wrote on X. Chuck Schumer, who is expected to become Senate majority leader, said Trump “learned nothing from his historic defeat” and “couldn’t have made a worse choice” in elevating Miller. Hakeem Jeffries, the top Democrat in the House of Representatives, who is widely expected to become the chamber’s first Black speaker, called Miller “a dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist who has American blood on his hands”, and demanded he be fired. » | Ariana Baio in Washington | Saturday, November 7, 2026

LE FIGARO : Si les tractations diplomatiques pour éviter une reprise des hostilités se sont récemment intensifiées, Donald Trump laisse planer la perspective de nouveaux bombardements.

L'armée iranienne a assuré samedi être « plus forte » qu'au début de la guerre au Moyen-Orient, se disant prête à répondre à toute attaque de manière « immédiate » et « sans limite géographique » après de récentes menaces américaines. Si les tractations diplomatiques pour éviter une reprise des hostilités se sont récemment intensifiées, Donald Trump laisse planer la perspective de nouveaux bombardements sur la République islamique.

« Les forces armées de la République islamique sont aujourd'hui en état d'alerte plus élevé et plus puissantes qu'elles ne l'étaient au début de la guerre », a déclaré le porte-parole de l'armée, Mohammad Akraminia, cité par l'agence officielle Irna. « Sur ordre du Guide suprême, toute riposte des forces armées sera immédiate, efficace et sans limite géographique », a-t-il ajouté. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | samedi 7 novembre 2026

What Next for the Democrats? | Martin Wolf on the US Midterms | FT

Nov 6, 2026 | Americans roundly rejected the Republican Party under President Donald Trump at the ballot box, giving the Democratic Party control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. That means Democrats have a raft of new tools with which to oppose Trump, including control of investigative committees the party may use to look into alleged corruption.

How should the Democrats use that power? Does the scale of their victory mean they have the country’s backing, or just that Republicans were unpopular? And will Trump’s brand of politics return?

Martin speaks to Nobel prize-winning economist Paul Krugman to discuss what happens next.

Miller Is ‘The Worst of All Possible Choices’: Tillis

Nov 7, 2026 | Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, is departing her role days after catastrophic Republican midterm losses in a seismic staff shake-up at the White House. She will be replaced by Stephen Miller, a long-time aide to President Donald Trump who orchestrated his hardline immigration agenda. CNN’s Jake Tapper talks to Sen. Thom Tillis on his first reactions to the shakeup and Anderson Cooper’s panel digs into why Trump made the move and what Democrats could do in response.

Stephen Miller is evil. It is perceptible with just a glance at his face. And if glancing at his face doesn’t convince you, listen to his speeches. Those should convince you for certain. Stephen Millier is a fascist, a Nazi, with every fibre of his being. One can just imagine him in Hitler’s Third Reich donning an elegant but intimidating SS uniform — uniforms designed by Karl Diebitsch and Walter Heck, and manufactured by Hugo Boss, to instil in the German public absolute compliance and fear.

That Trump has selected Miller as his chief of staff tells us that the road ahead for the rest of Trump’s term in office is going to be rocky, difficult, and dangerous. — © Mark Alexander

Michael Lambert: Boris Johnson, Donald Trump and Nigel Farage - Men Who Were Always Destined To Fail

Nov 6, 2026 | Why were the political careers of Trump, Johnson and Farage all destined to end in failure? Three of the most charismatic politicians of our time — and all three ended with reputations in tatters.

In this video I argue that Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, and Nigel Farage were always destined to fail because they were doing it entirely for themselves. Johnson saw being Prime Minister as a bit of a laugh, Trump treated the presidency like just another game show and Farage spent 20 years as a well-paid MEP while claiming to fight the establishment.

I go through the moments when the public decided it was just not fair — from parties in Downing Street during Covid lockdown, to fortunes amassed while ordinary people suffered, to Brexit not being handled properly and questions over a 5-million-pound gift.

Charisma only carries you so far once people realise they've been conned. It's very satisfying to watch a con man realise he's been sussed. These three sad characters prove it. …


In a few words, they are all basTURDS! We have a few of them this side of the Pond, but across the Pond, they have a whole regime-full of them! Westerners need to find their cojones and kick the basTURDS out of office. Pronto! And across the Pond, they need to ensure that when they are kicked out of office, the basTURDS don’t get to walk away with all their ILL-GOTTEN GAINS. The state needs to sequestrate those illegal gains. Then, the next US government will be able to do many goods works for the people with the seized money. — © Mark Alexander

Goldenes Oval Office für immer?: Trump erklärt sein Büro zum Nationaldenkmal

TAGESSPIEGEL: Trumps Republikaner haben die Midterms krachend verloren, doch der US-Präsident widmet sich unbeirrt seinen Architekturprojekten. Nun hat er sein goldverziertes Arbeitszimmer zum Denkmal erklärt.

US-Präsident Donald Trump will sich mit seinem großflächig mit Goldornamenten verzierten Arbeitszimmer verewigen und hat das Oval Office dafür zum Nationaldenkmal erklärt. Ob er damit verhindern kann, dass seine Nachfolger den Raum wieder umgestalten, ist allerdings fraglich.

Die Rechtswirksamkeit der Anordnung, die Trump am Donnerstag im Weißen Haus unterzeichnet hatte, sei unklar, schrieb die „Washington Post“. Künftige Präsidenten würden dadurch nicht gehindert, das Oval Office neu zu dekorieren, hieß es in der Zeitung „USA Today“. » | Tagesspiegel | Freiteg, 6. November 2026

'Was Doing Cartwheels' Canada Premier Doug Ford Absolutely Shreds Trump After Midterm Results

Nov 5, 2026 | Ontario premier Doug Ford said he was doing “cartwheels” when US midterm results showed voters had rebuked President Donald Trump’s economic agenda.

Ford, one of the loudest critics of the president’s tariffs, which have targeted his province’s auto and steel sectors, said the election results were also “a victory for Canada”.

“I’m directing our ministers as soon as everyone gets sworn in, go down to Washington, connect with the senators, the Congress people, and of course, I’ll be talking to the governors and seeing how we can move forward,” he said.

Do the US Midterms Mean the End of 'Trumpism'? | BBC Question Time

Nov 5, 2026 | Has the "politics of nastiness" come to an end after the Democrats sweep the House and Senate in the US midterms, and what does this mean for politics in the UK and Europe?

Watch what the Question Time panel from Liverpool said on the audience question: "How will the results of US midterms affect us here?", featuring Labour's Lucy Powell, Conservative Luke Evans, TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak, Telegraph columnist Tim Stanley, and psychologist and ex-NBA star John Amaechi.


These are some of the adjectives that immediately spring to mind when I think of Trump: coarse, vulgar, incompetent, corrupt, self-serving, egocentric, dangerous, treasonous, criminal, childlike, greedy, sex-driven, and dishonest. I could go on. There are plenty more appropriate adjectives to describe Trump. But with this list, you get my drift. The sooner America and the world is rid of that deplorable man, the better! — © Mark Alexander

Corruption Watchdog: Voters "Have Eyes" & Saw Trump "Enriching Himself" at Their Expense

Nov 5, 2026 | Democrats regained control of both the House and the Senate in Tuesday's historic midterm elections, a comeback fuelled largely by voter anger over high prices and the war on Iran. But surveys also found that corruption was a major concern, with 76% of voters telling a Harris poll that elected officials care more about enriching themselves than improving the economy for ordinary people. A separate Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 63% of Americans considered it inappropriate for Trump and his family to profit from cryptocurrency, while 69% said his private business interests influence his decisions as president.

"If this election was about corruption and cost, then this next Congress needs to be focused on accountability and affordability," says Donald Sherman, the president and CEO of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW.

"Congress needs to do oversight not just on the administration's corruption, not just on the president's profiteering, but also on corporate America, what they have gotten out of engaging in the president's pay-to-play environment, how corporate America and the outside influence of money in our political system has undermined the public voice in our policy discussions."

Wall Street Turns Its Back on Trump and Musk by Dumping Related Assets, Roger Montgomery Says

Nov 5, 2026 | As the blame game erupts within Republican ranks over the midterms rout, what was an extraordinary day in Washington saw a remarkable rally on Wall Street. The best day in 20-months for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, while tech stocks rose on the Nasdaq. But Elon musk's Tesla and SpaceX took a hit. The billionaire spending hundreds of millions of dollars unsuccessfully backing Republicans in the midterms.

Fund manager Roger Montgomery says the clean sweep by the Democrats simply means that there will be questions "about Starlink and the grants that they've got and the contracts that they've got with government, as well as SpaceX and Tesla even."

The oil price slump also seemed to boost global stock markets but Roger Montgomery is not convinced the optimism will last. "Foreign policy in the United States has been antagonistic towards the Middle East. And the belief is that that won't continue. But of course, the fact that we've got Donald Trump as a lame duck president, he will pronounce executive orders that will remain destabilising."
