So how do we fix this? 1. FULL TRANSPARENCY. Everyone needs to END THE MF GASLIGHTING. Get out there and tell the TRUE, UNVARNISHED STORY. Starting with Susie Wiles, followed by Howard Lutnick, Brooke Rollins, and Sergio Gor. Americans, especially MAGA, have an extraordinary capacity to forgive and move on. But ONLY if you’re honest, admit your mistakes, and tell us what actually happened. Each of these people inherited a crap situation that began with the misinformation campaign against Project 2025 and snowballed into an absolute disaster. The Democrats are a LOT smarter than we give them credit for. And I don’t want to crush any of these people. BUT THEY ABSOLUTELY NEED TO TELL THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH. Who TF pushed Trump into bombing Iran? WHO THE FUCK KILLED DOGE? And why TF wasn’t Thune steamrolled for killing the SAVE Act? WHO made these decisions? WHO fought against them? WHO stood by and let them happen? No more anonymous leaks. No more Hallmark-card praise. No more treating MAGA voters like children who can’t handle the truth. PEOPLE ARE POLICY. AND WE DESERVE TO KNOW WHO MADE THE POLICY. Then we need to RESET EVERYTHING. Beg, plead, and PRAY for Elon Musk to replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff. Then take Project 2025 off the MF SHELF, dust it off, and PUT IT INTO ACTION. We already had a plan. We already had the people. We already had the mandate. STOP MAKING EXCUSES. STOP GASLIGHTING. END THE WAR. AND START DELIVERING ON P2025 STARTING WITH THE ECONOMY STUPID. 6/6

So those are the THREE HORSEMEN OF THE MIDTERM APOCALYPSE. Let me reiterate emphatically: PEOPLE ARE POLICY. PEOPLE ARE POLICY. PEOPLE ARE POLICY. To recap: Project 2025 had policy recommendations, but those were just suggestions. At its heart was a database of smart, based PATRIOTS ready to serve their country. The press and Democrats went after Project 2025 because it was REALLY GOOD, and their outrage was moving the needle against Trump. Trump went along with killing it because the disinformation campaign was scaring away normies. Brooke Rollins had a half-baked plan that SUCKED, and she refused to appoint people from the MUCH BETTER plan that had steamrolled hers. Then Lutnick swooped in with his stories and “wisdom” to distract everyone from the disaster. He sold the Rollins plan like a used-car salesman at a Reno casino. And we got off to a TERRIBLE, LATE START. Instead of returning to the GOOD plan, Project 2025, they brought in the person with an even WORSE plan than Rollins: SUSIE WILES. Yes, Brooke Rollins and Susie Wiles were political rivals during the 2024 presidential transition. Susie got the show back on the road rather effectively (I’ll give her that), but she undermined Rollins’ second-rate plan with her own THIRD-RATE plan. Trump insiders weren’t happy, so they brought in an enforcer to rule the Presidential Personnel Office with an iron fist and CRUSH dissent. Enter Sergio Gor. Now, Sergio did some things REALLY well. He helped rescue us from disaster. But he was already behind the eight ball, running out of time. So he scooped up swamp creatures from congressional offices, scattered them throughout the Plum Book, and retreated to his Mughal palace in India. PEOPLE ARE POLICY. And one more thing. YES, the Iran war was the leading reason for the Midterm Apocalypse. But it wasn’t just the war. It was the CRAZY-AF diesel prices. It was the realization that Iran ISN’T America’s #1 threat. AI replacing American jobs is a far bigger concern. It was imports skyrocketing because of shipping disruptions caused by the Iran war, compounded by escalating import prices from the tariff war. IT’S THE ECONOMY, STUPID. And who’s in charge of the Department of Commerce? HOWARD LUTNICK. He’s 10x more culpable for Iran being used as a distraction for the epic failures of his economy policy than Hegseth is. 5/6

THE THIRD HORSEMAN OF THE MIDTERM APOCALYPSE @howardlutnick and @SecRollins We had a plan. A GREAT plan. A plan written by people who took the time to make 💯 certain the RIGHT people were vetted and ready to deliver on Trump’s campaign promises from DAY ONE. Heritage and @PaulDans4SC spent millions finding THE very best people to represent YOU. And that matters because: PEOPLE ARE POLICY. That plan was called Project 2025, and it was so good, so effective, that Democrats and the MSM had a MF’n epileptic stroke. So the “better not rock the boat” crowd in Trump’s campaign convinced him to back the garbage truck right over it. Suddenly, having your name in the Project 2025 database was MAGA kryptonite. The one guy who survived was @russvought, who became MY #1 FAVORITE asskicker in the administration. Why TF they threw a list of America’s smartest, most based patriots overboard to appease the press is beyond me. I realize most of you never read Project 2025. I did. It’s AWESOME. But the EPIC outrage from Democrats and The Atlantic should have told you everything you needed to know. It was good. REALLY GOOD. So they needed a replacement. Enter @BrookeLRollins and her half-baked, poorly thought-out transition plan. Trump won, everyone realized Brooke’s plan was an unmitigated disaster, and we lost precious weeks during the transition. So Trump turned to a guy who had once rebuilt an entire company after its headquarters were destroyed in the World Trade Center: Howard Lutnick. Howard was a ROCK STAR after 9/11. But that was a quarter CENTURY ago. Today? He’s out of touch. I got into a massive X fight with @Geiger_Capital over Bessent versus Lutnick for Treasury. I was wrong. Geiger was right. Bessent has been AWESOME. Lutnick has been a problem at Commerce from DAY ONE. He put data centers above EVERYTHING else. He pushed out absolutely based-AF people I can’t even mention because PPO will hang them. He sank our entire maritime agenda and USTR protections designed LITERALLY to keep communist CCP commissars from sailing into American ports, all so his BFF Jensen Huang could sell OUR best AI chips to China. And he took a smart, carefully laid-out tariff strategy and turned it into an EPIC CLOWN SHOW called Liberation Day. He shoved the entire world into the same clown car as tiny Nauru and the UNINHABITED Heard and McDonald Islands. Now, the tariffs themselves? AWESOME. LONG OVERDUE. Other countries have been screwing America for DECADES, and playing nice wasn’t working. Trump loves tariffs almost as much as I do. But that rollout was the political equivalent of Liberace performing at the Sands, complete with golden candelabras and enough spectacle to blind everyone in the front row. And Lutnick pulled the SAME stunt as co-chair of the transition team alongside Brooke Rollins. Everyone was too excited, too optimistic, and too busy celebrating Trump’s victory to give him hell for it. And, frankly, we needed some of Howard’s showmanship to cover up Brooke’s EPIC failure to replace Project 2025. But showmanship isn’t strategy. PEOPLE ARE POLICY. And when you throw the best people overboard, ones carefully vetted to deliver, on DAY ONE of the transition act surprised when the entire agenda starts sinking. 4/6

THE SECOND HORSEMAN OF THE MIDTERM APOCALYPSE: @SergioGor and @DanScavino at the Presidential Personnel Office (PPO). These guys prioritize three things. 1. PROXIMITY. They sat in the White House like princesses, taking meetings with people who lived within driving distance of DC. They filled the Plum Book with people who could either afford to live in one of America’s most expensive cities or were already entrenched in the swamp. Now Sergio literally lives in a residence inspired by Mughal imperial architecture as U.S. ambassador to India. And you wonder why we can’t make progress on H-1B visas? EVERYONE in the administration owes Sergio a favor, and everyone whispers about how unabashedly he uses those favors. We wanted Indiana Jones. Instead, we got Zalim Singh, the boy prince from Temple of Doom. And who got the most jobs? CONGRESSIONAL STAFFERS. People working for THE most broken and inept institution in the entire country. Now, it’s not entirely Sergio’s fault. Senators like @SenTomCotton were slow-rolling his nominees through confirmation hearings and threatening to kill the Big Beautiful Bill and SAVE Act. He had to horse-trade. I don’t blame Sergio for playing the game. But I ABSOLUTELY 💯 blame him for GASLIGHTING us about it. And I blame him for parking his ass in the White House instead of taking PPO ON THE ROAD to recruit patriots from every red state in America. He filled the administration with people from the swamp when he should have been racking up more airline miles than anyone in Washington. 3/6

The Three Horsemen of the Midterm Apocalypse 🧵 Name drops incoming. Fuck it. I’m about to bleed truth, then jump on my yacht and sail into the deep ocean. Markwayne can send a cutter out to harass me. IDGAF. Let the chips fall where they may. Why? Because PEOPLE ARE POLICY I absolutely LOVE that people are finally waking up to the fact that Susie Wiles sidelined hitters like Elon Musk. Let me state this emphatically: PEOPLE ARE POLICY. PEOPLE ARE POLICY. PEOPLE ARE POLICY. Susie controlled who had access to the president. And because she hangs every little leak up like a wanted poster, ACCESS MATTERS. IDK WTF she waved into the Oval Office just before the bombs dropped on Iran. At my own expense, I spent an entire week, my burthday week, in DC trying to find out. For an insider like me, this had been the most transparent administration in history. No door I pushed on was closed. Until that week. That week, the only door open to me was Hegseth, who, for obvious reasons, couldn’t tell me why warships were piling up off Iran and the USCG evacuated all assets while leaving US Merchant Marine ships with their sterns flapping in the wind. He didn’t have to. The reason was obvious. He was following orders from the White House. A building in which Susie controls who walks in and who does not. PEOPLE ARE POLICY If Susie wants to avoid going down in history as the worst White House chief of staff since H. R. Haldeman, she needs to sit for multiple long-form podcast interviews. Then kick the MF White House press corps out of the building, bring in actual based people willing to ask the hard questions that MATTER, and stand there and answer them honestly. What killed Biden and Kamala more than anything? GASLIGHTING. And we’ve been gaslit on critical questions like who TF pushed out based people like Musk, Isaacman, Waltz, Ortagus, and Ruger. STOP THE GASLIGHTING. Now, I FULLY admit Trump has been 100 times more transparent than Biden or Kamala ever was. But when it comes to personnel decisions—why DOGE rock stars were slow-rolled, who TF advocated for the Iran war, and WTF our Middle East envoy @SteveWitkoff did after firing his based-AF (though admittedly huge Lindsey Graham fanboy) #2—the administration has been a BLACK HOLE. And on a few issues, the gaslighting was EXTREME. Go back and read the administration’s reactions to that Vanity Fair hit piece on Wiles. EVERYONE wrote long posts pouring out praise so effusive you’d think a Hallmark AI bot had written them. NB: I don’t believe 90% of what Vanity Fair wrote. They’re MSM hacks. Calling bullshit on them was fanfuckingtastic. But you don’t write gushy, ebullient, fulsome praise without a PINCH of criticism and expect us to believe everyone isn’t just falling in line like Democrats after another Pete Buttigieg fuckup. But blaming everything on Susie, who deserves plenty of blame, doesn’t tell the full story. And the leading narrative “It’s all Pete Hegseth’s fault because ” is utter bullshit because he executed a plan given him by the White House. 1/6
