Analysis: After losing the election, Trump may change the White House chief of staff and take a tough line of confrontation

After U.S. President Trump was defeated in the midterm elections, he appointed 41-year-old Stephen Miller as the new White House Chief of Staff, replacing Suzi Wells who resigned. Analysts pointed out that Trump's promotion of his most loyal and controversial staff indicates that he may adopt a tougher and more confrontational stance in the last two years of his term, especially when facing large-scale investigations after the Democrats regain control of Congress.

"Cao Xingcheng's Eight Disciples" called Jiang Wanan an "evil spirit", which is absolutely not an exaggeration!

UMC founder Cao Xingcheng wrote an article commenting on Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's question on a TV show whether Chiang Wanan was an "evil spirit." The author believes that Chiang Wanan is attached to the CCP regime, agrees with the CCP's right to come to Taiwan to "rob families and homes", and slanders most Taiwanese people as "Taiwan independence".
