Why are top Trump aides suddenly quitting and what does it mean for the White House?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump is losing all control as his top aides and senior advisors are all quitting. The rats are fleeing the sinking ship. First, we learn Caroline Levitt, Donald Trump's chief propagandist, who goes by the title press secretary, that she would be quitting. And as we predicted, that would be a sign of things to come. Indeed, it was. We then learn from the latest report. Reporting yesterday from notice. Nearly half of Donald Trump's appointees at the Treasury Department quit. They can't stand working for Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, as they are continually asked to do illegal things and they have had enough. Then we learn top aide at the White House, Emily Underwood, would be quitting.

Her position was that she was the The top deputy to Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. She apparently couldn't stand being around Miller and the White House, and she knew that this White House was indeed a sinking ship, that there would be lots of investigations coming regarding all of the criminality in the White House once the Democrats took control of the House of Representatives. So she fled as well. Then you Had another top advisor, someone by the name of Andy Baker, White House Deputy National Security Advisor, very close to J.D. Vance. He was very much involved in the failed or non-existent, I should say, rather, negotiations with Iran. And Donald Trump now says we are declaring economic doomsday against Iran.

On, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. After just earlier this week, Donald Trump saying the Strait of Hermuz is now annexed territory of the United States. So he's gone. And then you have total chaos embroiling the White House. You have Donald Trump's top deputy, Dan Scavino, posting the following message. When you get fired for doing a spectacularly shitty job at an agency, Agency with your badge deactivated, building access revoked, and the full Your Dead to Us package, or when you get passed over for ambassadorships, boards, or commissions because there are candidates who are actually far more qualified than you, please resist the urge to sprint to every media outlet that will platform your lying bullshit.

And then falsely attack people in the presidential personnel office who are out here serving President Trump, the administration, and the American people each and every day.

Which senior staff members resigned first and why did they call the administration a “sinking ship”?

Ben Meiselas 2:41
Just take the L and move on, loser, clown emoji. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Just another normal one in the White House. And then late last night, we learned about another person in the Trump White House. House quitting. James Braid, the top White House aide in charge of liaising with Congress, quitting the Trump regime, according to a person familiar with the transition. Dasha Burns of Politico was the first to report it. James Braid to depart the White House. Top White House aide in charge of liaising with Congress. The middleman between Donald Trump And Magamike Johnson and one of the most experienced congressional hands in the White House, Dasha Burns puts it. The rats fleeing the sinking ship.
Ben Meiselas 3:32
Bye bye James Braid. Or how about you have Joe Kent, the former number two at the Office of Director of National Intelligence, who worked for uh Gabbard, uh, who also left the Trump regime, Tulsi Gabbard. Joe Kent posted the following message yesterday regarding Donald Trump's so-called plan to declare economic D-Day and doomsday on Iran. What Donald Trump wants to trigger World War III so badly and be on the side of Kim Jong-un and what What Russia and Iran and China against the United States. Total idiotic, is Donald Trump. We know that, Joe Kent says. So if this plan by Donald Trump is actually implemented, it's very likely that Iran will respond by striking the troops we have still in the region.
Ben Meiselas 4:26
We need to deprive Iran of that option, pull our troops out of harm's way instead of leaving them as leverage for Iran. Iran to exploit, then offer sanctions, relief, unfreezing of assets in exchange for opening these trade-of-homos. This is the least destructive path to finally put an end to this mess and put American first.
