IT'S ABOUT TO GET A LOT WORSE

Summary

Kyle Kulinski argues that Trump’s reported decision to replace Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller as chief of staff signals a more extreme and less restrained administration following the midterm losses. He portrays Wiles as a moderating influence and says elevating Miller while retaining Pete Hegseth suggests Trump is surrounding himself with people who reinforce his instincts rather than challenge them.

Kulinski predicts intensified immigration enforcement and political repression. Citing reports that the administration may seek to classify liberal, left-wing, and human-rights organizations as terrorist or terrorist-funded groups, he warns that they could lose nonprofit or tax benefits and that dissent could face greater suppression. He uses highly charged historical comparisons to describe the direction he fears.

He also worries that a more hard-line administration could escalate the conflict with Iran. He speculates about the possible use of a MOAB, a ground invasion, or even a tactical nuclear strike, while acknowledging that these possibilities may sound extreme but have been discussed before.

Kulinski concludes that these developments could worsen conditions in the country, deepen the political fallout for Republicans facing election in 2028, and further damage the Republican Party. These are his predictions and opinions.
