This edition covers 7:01 a.m. PST Friday, Nov. 6, to 7:01 a.m. PST Saturday, Nov. 7, and ranks items by policy weight. It quotes the president word for word from transcripts, pool reports and official clips, links every Truth Social post, and pairs claims with other sources. Media he shared follows at the end.

Highlights. He replaced chief of staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller, effective Monday (). He pitched Kennedy Space Center as home to “the biggest air show anywhere in the world” within about two years (Factba.se). And he told reporters the Senate “is killing our country” while saying he could work with Democrats on immigration and taxes (Factba.se).

Ranked by policy weight

1. A new chief of staff. His Truth Social post called Miller “one of my most trusted advisors” and said of Wiles, “She has done a great job!” (). The White House release named Miller the “33rd White House Chief of Staff” (White House release). As he left the White House the pool found the audio hard to hear; the travel pooler reports he brought Miller over and said, “He’s going to do a great job” (pool; pool), and a White House clip has him saying, “Stephen has been with me from the beginning. He gets it; very good politically” (). That night in West Palm Beach, asked about the “wartime consigliere” label, he answered, “Well, he’s a great fighter,” and called Miller “an MVP every year” (Factba.se; pool). Asked about more departures, he said, “we have a great Cabinet” (Factba.se). Reactions split on party lines, per a Guardian live blog: Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said the president “learned nothing from his historic defeat,” Rep. Robert Garcia told Miller to “lawyer up,” and Indiana Republican Rep. Marlin Stutzman told Semafor the promotion looked like a “horrible decision” (Guardian). Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, in a White House clip, said Miller “is exactly the type of person you want standing next to the President” (), and Todd Blanche (@AGToddBlanche) answered Garcia in another White House clip: “Stephen Miller has a lawyer. It’s me and the entire Department of Justice” ().

2. Iran, Hormuz and Russia-Ukraine. At the airport he said of Iran, “It can’t be a war when for five months nobody is hurt, killed, or anything else,” and “We haven’t lost anybody in seven months, so I don’t think that’s a war” (Factba.se). He said, “We have the greatest blockade in military history,” and that Iran has “300% inflation” and “wanna make a deal very badly” (Factba.se). He claimed that without U.S. strikes “Israel would be gone,” echoing a 10:09 a.m. PT post: “Israel and, in fact, the entire Middle East, WOULD NOT EXIST TODAY if I did not stop Iran from having a Nuclear Weapon” (). The desk found no independent check of the casualty, inflation or blockade figures in these sources. On Russia he said meetings at Mar-a-Lago concern “Russia and having to do with other things,” and that “Russia and Ukraine for the first time, I think, want to settle,” per the pool (pool; ). On China he said, “We got one back, as you know, last week,” of a detainee, without naming who (pool).

3. Congress and the midterms. “The Senate has to act,” he said, adding, “The Senate, the Senate is killing our country,” and that “hopefully John Thune” can get it moving (Factba.se; ). Asked what Democratic ideas he could back, he said, “immigration’s one, tax cuts or maybe certain things having to do with taxes” (Factba.se). He again distanced himself from Tuesday’s losses: “I wasn’t on the ballot. I wish I was on the ballot” (Factba.se), and repeated that markets “lost about $3 trillion when they found out that the Democrats did well in the election” (). The desk did not verify the $3 trillion figure.

4. Jobs. Leaving the White House, per a White House clip: “We had the most incredible jobs numbers. They came out many times higher than anticipated” (). At Kennedy Space Center he cited 165,000 jobs and “19,000 brand new manufacturing jobs” (Factba.se). The Guardian reports the same 165,000 headline figure (Guardian). His “around 20,000” forecast does not match the “~65k” expectation that economist Heather Long gave in the White House’s own roundup, which also quotes Fitch’s Olu Sonola calling the report “Strength on strength” (White House release).

5. Kennedy Space Center and CapeWeek. Introduced by NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, he spoke from 6:05 to 6:30 p.m. ET at the UP.Summit, per the pool (pool). He said, “NASA is back,” and that the runway site “will soon be the premier venue for the air and space demonstrations” (Factba.se). Reuters, in a copy carried by StreetInsider, reports the White House in September urged space companies to skip a Paris space summit organized by French President Emmanuel Macron, framing CapeWeek as a U.S. alternative (Reuters via StreetInsider). Fox 35 Orlando says Artemis astronauts joined him and that he praised Isaacman (Fox 35).

6. Party business and other posts. At 10:05 a.m. PT he endorsed RNC chairman Joe Gruters for another term: “Joe Gruters should return as Chairman of the RNC” (). At 7:11 p.m. PT he posted a black-and-white image of himself captioned “MR. VETO,” with no other text (). A minute later he posted a Mar-a-Lago clip in which he calls Miller “a very hot commodity” before Miller pledges “my absolute loyalty, my unwavering commitment, and my total devotion,” per the desk’s machine transcript (), then reposted it with a screenshot of commentator Joey Mannarino’s X post praising Miller’s first speech (). At 6:30 a.m. PT Saturday he shared, without comment, a screenshot of an X post by Donald Ward that questions Texas Democrat Gina Hinojosa’s vote totals and says Gov. Greg Abbott beat his 2022 total (); the screenshot cites no evidence of irregularities.
