White House deputy chief of staff Richard Walters departs amid Stephen Miller shakeup

politicsNov 8, 202627406

White House deputy chief of staff Richard Walters is departing his role after longtime Trump adviser Stephen Miller was announced as the new chief of staff. Miller issued a statement saying Walters "has been an invaluable member of the White House" and that "while he will be leaving us, Richard will continue to help from the outside" as the administration works to "deliver for President Trump." Axios first reported Walters's exit. Miller's promotion followed President Trump’s announcement that Susie Wiles would leave the White House and move to the Trump Political Operation and that Miller would become chief of staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026. The shakeup comes after a difficult Election Day for Republicans, when Democrats took the House and Senate and won in historically challenging regions.

Stephen Miller looks like what you’d get if a stagnant swamp witch plucked a mutated polyp off the sides of an uncleaned septic tank, gave it anti-life, and let it loose upon the world.

Stephen Miller looks like someone tried to grow a new Hitler in a lab, but they cheaped out and used frog genes to fill the gaps in his DNA.

Stephen Miller looks like a rejected 60's/70's era Hanna-Barbera baddie's henchman. Just a sentient cackle made manifest.

Stephen Miller looks like the result of an attempt at becoming a lich that got aborted halfway because the dark forces he made a pact with realized that'd mean having to put up with him *forever* and it just did not want to deal with that.

Stephen Miller has 3 kids, which is incredible when you consider that his version of sex is to just scream, until he passes out, about crushing his many enemies under the muscular fist of the state

Stephen Miller looks like an artificial testicle escaped before it was ready and got baked in the Arizona sun until it had a wrinkled crisp. He's a fucking yeti egg

Watching your party get their shit absolutely rocked in the election and then coming out and saying “America messed up bad! Taking a big step back!” and then promoting Stephen Miller and hiring Dana White is so funny dude. No one else like him.

Richard Walters resigned after only named May 2026 as the White House deputy chief of staff for legislative, political and public affairs. (FGS Global, KKR) Susie Wiles announced that she is cancer-free Sept 2026.

So is the implication that previously Stephen Miller was handling some of the childcare duties, and now he’s going to be too busy for that?

Bet Stephen Miller fires Hegseth by Christmas, because you know Trump doesn't want to do it. 🤔 I'd also bet that Hegseth spills the beans. Stupid people.
