Bondi getting fired pretty well confirms it, Trump's personal capacity to stick to that policy has been shattered.

Minneapolis broke Trump as an administrator and as a man.

Again, here we see signs of Trump buckling from positions that he was holding for more than a year, in this case his previous unwillingness to ever negotiate with Dems on funding.

(This is also a lesson in why things like mass protest movements do actually make a difference by changing political gravity. Schumer and Jeffries didn't chabge their strategy for no reason)

Susie Wiles was widely considered to be the source of discipline in the WH, and she apparently started working "virtually full time" a week or so before Noem was sacked. https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/19/politics/susie-wiles-chief-staff-diagnosis

Possibly worse on a personal level than their predecessors. But a revolving door in the administration makes them less effective regardless.
