Top Trump Aid Leaves White House

Washington, D.C. — In a stunning announcement, one of President Donald Trump’s closest and most trusted advisers is stepping down, marking the biggest White House staff change of Trump’s second term so far.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich, a loyal MAGA ally, confirmed he will leave his post at the end of the month to return to the private sector. His exit is seen as a major turning point for the administration as Trump continues his America First agenda.

Key Power Player in Trump’s Historic Comeback

Budowich was a central figure in Trump’s return to the White House, playing a pivotal role in communications, strategy, cabinet coordination, and public outreach.

• He first joined Trump’s team in 2021, just after Trump’s first term.
• He quickly became one of the architects of Trump’s 2024 landslide victory, helping navigate relentless attacks from the radical left and corporate media.

Before officially joining the administration, Budowich spearheaded two major pro-Trump groups:

• MAGA Inc. Super PAC
• Securing American Greatness, a nonprofit that fueled Trump’s movement with massive fundraising efforts.

These organizations collectively raised and spent over $600 million to Make America Great Again — again during the 2024 election cycle.

Deep Ties Across the MAGA Movement

Known as a political warrior, Budowich has been at the center of Trump’s political battles for years:

• He served as Chief of Staff to Donald Trump Jr. during the heated 2020 campaign.
• He has been subpoenaed multiple times, including during the partisan January 6 investigation, as Democrats and the media tried to target Trump and his allies.
• Budowich even testified in the classified documents probe, showcasing his unwavering loyalty amid deep state witch hunts.

Vice President JD Vance relied heavily on Budowich throughout their first year in office, calling him “an invaluable partner in delivering results for the American people.”

Praise From Trump’s Inner Circle

Senior officials were quick to express gratitude and admiration for Budowich’s years of service:

• Chief of Staff Susie Wiles:
  “Taylor is a dear friend. President Trump holds him in the highest regard. While I hate to see him go, I wish him nothing but the best.”
• Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller:
  “Taylor is one of the true MAGA faithful who has poured his heart into this movement and our president.”
• Vice President JD Vance:
  “I’ve personally relied on Taylor countless times during an incredible first year in office.”
• Dan Scavino, Deputy Chief of Staff:
  “He’s been a vital asset to Trump 2.0 and to the fight for the future of our country.”

Who Will Replace Him?

The White House has not yet announced a successor, but insiders say the next Deputy Chief of Staff will face immense pressure as President Trump gears up for major battles in Congress, a hostile media, and global crises.

Budowich’s departure highlights the challenges and high stakes of Trump’s second term — and underscores the deep loyalty and unity within the MAGA movement as the fight to restore America’s greatness continues.

Why This Matters

This move comes at a critical moment as President Trump pushes forward on border security, economic revival, and foreign policy strength. The radical left is expected to pounce on this transition, but Trump’s team remains laser-focused on delivering for the American people.
