A former Homeland Security official who notably wrote an “anonymous” op-ed against Donald Trump’s first term explained what’s making the president and his advisers “worried” after Democrats swept several key races on election night.
Miles Taylor — one of Trump’s perceived foes who has become a target amid the president’s second-term revenge tour — argued on his Substack page that Trump is “surely fretting” about the party’s wins in the New York City mayoral race as well as the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races.
“Democrats learned, again, how to win by tacking to the center and speaking to the majority of Americans who just want a functioning country,” Taylor wrote.
“Trump should be shaking in his wrinkled pants, because the thing he fears most is the thing these results signal. His dictator antics are showing him for what he really is. A loser.”
Earlier in Taylor’s post, he pointed to Trump’s message on his Truth Social platform, which tied the GOP’s losses to his absence from the ballot and the ongoing government shutdown.
