Wiles walked out of the Oval Office on Thursday afternoon with the President still shouting at her. Trump had turned on his Chief of Staff in a meeting with other aides and berated her over the brutal outcome for Republicans in the midterm...

Sen.-elect Abdul el Sayed (D-MI) said he was willing to work with President Donald Trump on the issues he ran on during his campaign. “Look, I’ve never met the man; he is the president of the United States; I am the U.S. senator-elect from the state of Michigan,” el Sayed said Sunday on ABC News. “I am happy to meet with him.” Trump has been outspoken against el Sayed, calling him a “vicious, violent jihadist” ahead of the midterm elections.

Trump’s promotion of MAGA favorite Stephen Miller to chief of staff produced the predictable corporate media diagnosis: he isn’t surrendering enough.
