OMG: Everyone Just Quit...

0:00Donald Trump's administration is falling apart from the inside out, yet another high-ranking Trump official has quit. They have resigned from the administration amid this somewhat mass exodus from the Trump White House. A number of high-ranking officials have quit recently. They're doing other things such as Caroline Levit, who is no longer Donald Trump's press secretary, and there's still no replacement for her as of now. Yet another person has been added to the list, and Donald Trump's inner circle continues to get smaller. I'm going to talk about this resignation among other things, but I want to point out that this has been something that's been going on for quite some time. People leaving Donald Trump, and I have my own theories as to why I think it could be a number of things. His presidency is historically unpopular. People don't want to be associated with that. They want to work in politics again, and they don't want the baggage of the Trump administration kind of being tied along with them. Maybe they're avoiding investigation. They know that Democrats have a really good chance to take the House and maybe even the Senate come November, and they don't want the subpoenas, the investigations, the testifying

1:00under oath. I hope those people know that just because they're resigning, they don't get to get away from that stuff. It might be something like that, but his inner circle has gotten a lot smaller. Check this out. When Vanity Fair published close-up photos of Donald Trump's core advisors at the end of 2025, the group included five staffers alongside the vice president and secretary of state. Now, two of those five-eighths are gone from the West Wing. Even over that's reshaping, the management of a deeply personal presidency. Two more advisors, each of whom holds the president's trust, are also leaving the White House within weeks. The trend is familiar to many presidents heading into their final two years in office, but the stakes of a shrinking inner circle may be higher for Trump because of the ecosystem that's defined his second term. Only a handful of advisors have direct frequent access to him. Of course, that's by design for Donald Trump after a chaotic revolving door of first-term administration departures that ingrained Trump's intense focus on loyalty. As one former administration official said, the aides who remain in the White House want

2:00to keep things tight and in the family. A small family, however, means that the president is facing a tough midterm election with record lower approval ratings, a flurry of distracting personal dramas, a trade war, a war in the Middle East covering up the Epstein files, and more. I mean, there's a lot going wrong for Donald Trump right now. The list of departures is topped by White House Press Secretary Caroline Levit and Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair, who departed in April, but it also includes critical Trump advisors who are photographed more rarely, such as James Brade, the director of legislative affairs. He's departing. David Warrington is also about to step down as White House counsel, so Donald Trump's inner circle, his team is getting smaller as more and more problems rack up for this administration. I want to talk about this new departure from this new aide who is leaving announcing it very recently. So check this out. Yet another top Trump aide has headed for the exits. Page Wiley, the deputy assistant to the president for economic policy and deputy director of the National Economic Council. So a pretty high ranking position in the White House has become the latest to leave the

3:04White House as the Trump administration continues to shed key aides ahead of the midterms. Quote, the end of an era she wrote in a Twitter post on Wednesday. It's been an honor to serve in both Trump White Houses. So she was 1.0 and 2.0 at Donald Trump. Kevin Hassett and Susie Wiles gave me my dream job as deputy NEC director and we've made so many transformative policy changes. You're right transformative that have certainly transformed the country into a worse economic behemoth. Transformative policy changes to make our country and citizen successful. Not true. I will miss my outstanding team and the energy you feel on the White House campus when you arrive every morning to do that's day's work. And that is her. Kylee 32 is heading to the private sector to join invariant a bipartisan policy and communications firm. Kevin Hassett, the director of the National Economic Council lavished Wiley with praise in a statement saying beginning on election day, page has worked tirelessly to recruit and mentor an economic team capable of enacting and implementing the president's historic agenda historically bad. Of course, so you can thank page along with Kevin Hassett and these other lunatics in the

4:06White House for the economic position we find ourselves in with a trade war with Canada. The economy is sucking. You know, inflation is still being high. Price is still being high. People not being able to afford a house. Page Wiley and members of the White House of course Donald Trump's economic team are to blame for that as well. It at least seems that part of the reason why so many people are quitting is because Americans are fed up with MAGA. Like nobody likes Donald Trump anymore. He is not popular even a little bit. Nobody likes his policies. And so I think truly part of the reason why all these people are quitting and going into the private sector for example is because they're jumping ship. They don't want to be involved with Donald Trump's administration. They don't want that connected to their name for the rest of their careers. Like look at these numbers. They are devastating. I'm betting and I know because it's been reported that a lot of Republicans wish certainly that it didn't make two appearances which seems to be the case but they didn't make one appearance. I guess they're happy that in fact the one good thing about him going out during the NFL season actually beginning is most people we watching the NFL maybe that was the strategy

5:06all along because just look at this. Trump's not approver rating according to Ipsos, Reuters Ipsos polling. Look at this. In term number one things were bad right in September of 2018. The president's not approver rating was 14 points under water. That is his approver rating was 14 points lower than his disapprover rating. But you know you saw a little bit of spike right going in the term number two plus six months. But look at this. Look at this number. President Trump is 30 points under water. He is under the Gulf of Mexico or to put it in President Trump's language, the Gulf of America. 30 points under water. He is twice more than twice as unpopular than he was at this point going into the first midterm election that of course he had during one of his presidency. This is overall with all voters what about independence? Okay. What is driving? What is driving this? What is causing President Trump to be more than twice as unpopular at this point than he was during his first presidency at the same time? Well, Kate Baldwin you set it up for me. It is independence. It is independence the name of the game.

6:07Just look at this. Trump's not approvering among independence. Look at this. In term one he was 18 points under water. Again, not too hot to try. But look at this. 50 points underwater. 50 points underwater. What is that? That's nearly three times as unpopular among independence. Look at this. He's nearly 50 points more unpopular than he was at the beginning of his second term. These are the types of numbers that if your Republican watching that convention knowing that President Trump is this far underwater with independence, you are going yourself. What did I do to deserve this? What? Well put Mr. Harry Anton of CNN, the data guru at the network. Yeah, that is devastating. I mean, you're a Republican. You're looking at this. You're thinking, do we have any chance in the midterms? Can we maybe separate ourselves from Donald Trump's to run our own elections and not be connected to him? No, the answer is no you can't. Donald Trump has a negative 50 approval rating. He is speaking two nights at the Republican National Convention, the midterm convention that they're hosting. You can't run away from this guy.

7:07He is going to insert himself into these elections, whether they like it or not. He's even polling negatively in Missouri. Man, that's how you know that it's bad, right? I mean, Missouri, a Ruby Red State, very Republican. He has a negative approval rating in that state for the first time since he got into office. That is devastating. I mean, these are states that he won by double digit points and he's a negative approval rating in them, which really just goes to show you how bad Donald Trump has done and how much he's hated by the American people. Even his own voters are turning on him. Even turning point USA is turning on him. Of course, today is the one year anniversary of the death of Charlie Kirk and the turning point USA people are not happy with Donald Trump and how he's handled the situation. Check this out. Charlie Kirk's group's secret fury at Donald Trump's midterm convention labeled as Trump a poluza has been exposed. Turning point USA is reportedly livid about the Republican party's Trump a poluza. The movement, founded by late activist Charlie Kirk, pulled vast swaths of young voters into the mag orbit and is widely credited with playing a major role in getting Donald

8:11Trump elected again. But two people, close to the group, told Politico that its leaders are furious over the timing of Trump's first of its kind midterm convention in Dallas. The president staged the event to fire up Republicans with just 54 days until the midterm elections, but it falls on the first anniversary of Kirk's assassination on September 10th. It has led several members of turning point USA's leadership to abandon the event, including Kirk's top lieutenant Andrew Colvet. I personally made the decision he told Politico I want to remember Charlie here inside his studio and on the campus that he built I want our influencers and our contributors to come here and be part of remembering Charlie. Some in the White House are said to be unimpressed by the timing of the two day convention. It's a huge missed opportunity, someone from the White House said this week should be laser focused on two things commemorating the run up to Charlie Kirk's assassination and hammering the Democrats to the run up to 9-11, not a half-ass convention. I don't know why they'd be hammering Democrats for 9-11. But anyway, that would be their strategy, that would be their goal and they are pissed

9:12at Donald Trump for having the midterm convention on the day that Charlie Kirk was assassinated. And again, it's not hard to see why Republicans are pissed at Donald Trump when he's having press conferences and giving speeches like this as well, which really do make people feel quite badly about the Republican Party. They don't like them. Like for example, this is a clip of Donald Trump weirdly speaking about a woman's genetics. You can only imagine how creepy this is. Take a look. Already welcomed over 100,000 visitors. I want to thank the chair of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation and she's a respected woman all over. I have to tell you, great genetics, great blood. I'm a big blood person, I believe in blood. You don't get better than those two. You don't get better than those two, Charlotte. Yikes, that is, oh god, that is creepy, isn't it? That is enough to make your skin crawl a little bit. He says she has great genetics and great blood.

10:15I'm a big believer in blood. Kind of sounds like he's making an area in pure blood kind of comment here, which, oh god, I mean, it's just gross. That's just discussing. Then Donald Trump goes on to speak about Ken Paxson, who is a candidate that he's meant to be endorsing and speaking of highly, but he keeps running with this line of like, you know, I don't like the way that Ken Paxson dresses. I don't like the way that he looks. I don't really like him at all. We're just not really a shining endorsement, you know? The greatest victory is right. There's victories that we have to do that again for Ken. We said last night, I said, Ken, I don't want to embarrass you, but I don't agree with a lot of things, but you're the greatest attorney general we've ever had. And that alone should carry him. I said, I'm not sure if I like your look. I'm not sure if I like the way you dress. I don't like the way you talk, but you're the greatest attorney general. So therefore, that's the only thing that matters, Jerry, right? He's the best attorney general in the country.

11:15And we have the wall because. Yeah, like I also, I'm still under the weather. So I'm taking coughing breaks. That's why I'm pausing, but wow, you know, not really the endorsement that you'd want. A guy being like, well, you look like crap all the time and you sound like an idiot, but I'm going to endorse you anyway. You know, you really wouldn't want somebody speaking, speaking about you like that, but Donald Trump is speaking about Ken Paxson like that anyway. And then he started to cry about not getting the Medal of Honor. Yes, Donald Trump is really upset that he still hasn't been given the congressional Medal of Honor and he's talking about it at this event, which once again, if you're a Republican and you're wanting Donald Trump to campaign for the midterm, speak well about the Republican Party, please. He's doing the exact opposite. Watch. But to have with us 15 of the 65 living recipients of the congressional Medal of Honor, you know, I've never said this. I told Jerry a long time ago. I think I really want, as I want, for myself a congressional Medal of Honor. And I've studied it.

12:16I will give it to myself. I have no problem, but I'm not allowed to. Can you believe it? The one thing I'm not allowed to do, I would give myself, so it would make it instead of 15 would have 16. But I'm not allowed to do that. Now, you know, the sad part about saying that to all of that, look at all that fake news back there. But the sad part is that they'll now go and they'll say, uh, Donald Trump wanted the congressional Medal of Honor. They don't say that I kid one thing in the world of politics. You can't be sarcastic. You can't have any fun. You can't do anything that you think. Oh, shut up. You know, just shut your face. You know, oh, I kid, I can't listen. If Donald Trump could give himself the congressional Medal of Honor, he'd give himself 10. He'd give himself 20. If he could give himself the Nobel Peace Prize or literally any award that's like sought out after and really respected, Donald Trump would just give it to himself. So the idea that he's like, you know, all these media outlets report on me wanting the congressional Medal of Honor, they're not including that I'm kidding.

13:18It's because you're not. We know you, bud. We know you're not hard to figure out anymore, right? We know who you are. We know that you're a narcissist, a sociopath, a psychopath. We know that you want that medal and would give it to yourself if you had the opportunity to. Anyway, he's not allowed to, but maybe he will anyway. So anyway, look, Donald Trump's White House is incomplete disaster. It's not hard to see why. His approval rating is awful. He's in the low 30s and most, and most polls these days. His midterm chances are really, really going down. Republicans are just in shambles and you're seeing that with all these people who are leaving the White House in kind of one fell swoop. It's all just kind of happening pretty quickly. So look, I will leave the video there. Thank you so much for watching. Please make sure to subscribe down below.
