Ex-Trump insider warns White House lost its guardrails in second term
A former Trump national security insider says a crucial difference between Donald Trump’s first and second administrations could ultimately sink the White House: the absence of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. Olivia Troye argued on The Court of History podcast that Kushner often acted as a moderating force, reining in hard-liners like Stephen Miller and pushing back on extreme proposals, particularly in foreign policy. Without that internal check, Troye said, Miller has become fully unrestrained, adept at manipulating Trump to advance an aggressive immigration agenda that has now plunged the administration into legal and political crisis. The warning comes amid nationwide outrage over ICE operations, including the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, which has fueled protests and calls for Miller and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to step down.
