As I have argued for months: The person calling the shots in this admin was never Musk or Bannon or Susie Wiles. It's always been Shadow President Stephen Miller. Anything Trump says on e.g. immigration is cheap talk; Miller is the decider. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Don't leave out his twin, Vought.
This travesty has been obvious for months, if not years. Miller is smarter (god help us), more devious, with a larger vocabulary, and more purely criminal than Trump. Trump wants money; Miller wants power. It would be interesting to see behind the scenes with him and Vance.
I've often wondered the same thing. How do he and Vance get along, other than the fact that even Miller won't cross Thiel's boy.
terrifying
This line from Peaky Blinders applies to Miller so accurately…. m.youtube.com/shorts/tb-P-...
I've been saying that Miller was running our country
He knows how to stroke the president. 😉
Why the fuck does this twerp hold much juice? Anyone know?
And Vought and Musk and Loomer.
“The demagoguery of immigration has long been at the centre of Trump’s political rise, and Miller’s desire to make America whiter and less diverse, married with the power of the presidency without guardrails, is incredibly dangerous and should concern every American who believes in the rule of law.”
Ding ding! You haven’t amplified this in your columns as much as you think. Keep it up! Like Musk in our ruling triumvirate, he’s got no popular legitimacy—indeed, most of the public haven’t seen that puss of his. And boy, if they did….
hi i'm in my 40s and i don't recall an r president ever not being a lazy tool of more nefarious players. maybe someone should have done something huh???
What did you do?
advocated for not letting political lies and liars into our system at all, i suppose
He’s the one, definitely, and Dems should make every Republican where that repulsive scumbag around their necks at every opportunity. Not just with Federal GOP’rs but also State and Local elected officials. Keep hammering them, using him.
HE doesn't have effing iimmunity, lock him up!
He doesn’t need immunity. He has a pardon waiting in the wings…
Peewee German is the most vile racist scumbag
Miller has his fist on immigration, but Russell Vought is the one destroying our government.
But why? What is it about Miller that Trump has chosen him for that position?
And he's the scariest one of the bunch. He's morally bankrupt to his core and has no qualms with that.
It’s bad enough that we have to deal with Trump again. But to have to deal with these evil people who have been festering in the wings is just unbearable.
The Jews are never beating the “shadowy cabal running the world” operations with Miller at the helm. Fellow Yidden, it’s time to turn the space laser against one of our own!
The question is, why? How did he amass the power to be the decider?
Wait until they keep arresting people and the Trumpie morons start seeing their neighbors disappeared and idiot is still telling them they are criminals- they will never stop- we must stop them
Odious creature.
There is a go between between corporate Republicans who's ideology is money and the white nationalists. That go between is Susie Wiles.
The not going after hotel and farm immigrant workers then the quick reversal made it clear for me that SS Miller was running the show
Well it sure looks that way. It has NAZI all over it.
Steven Miller = Roy Cohn
Steven Miller = Roy Cohn
2025 leader
Yup. A full-fledged sadistic sociopath, with no vetting from anyone, is terrorizing our country's men, women and children to get his rocks off.
Yes Exactly
Stephen Miller is the alternate ending of "Lord of the Flies," where Piggy actually escaped alive.
I dunno - this guy is a dweeb
Nazi
It's all slowly falling apart for this fascist regime. Take this scumbag out of the equation, and it all falls apart faster.
Miller owns the immigration franchise, but he's not the shot-caller: Putin has something on Agent Orange that sets the real agenda at the White House. The "pee tape" is probably a red herring -- there's more going on there than a schoolgirl's crush on dictators, and it's something very, very dark.
Jesus Fucking Racist Vampire Christ
God, he is the absolute worst. And that takes some work.
The only thing that surprised me in this article is that Fuëher Miller is only 39 years old. I guess bone-deep fascism ages a person.
The Santa Monica Fascist. Fuck that fucker.
And Congress is complicit
And he doesn’t have immunity. Hmm.
Seems we should start addressing him as president miller. Everywhere all the time. Best way to get rid of someone, make him more visible than trump
Miller and Vought are running everything.
It won’t end pretty for SM during the upcoming 21st century version of the 1945/1946 Nuremberg Tribunal Trials.
The only way Miller, Noem, Homan, and various other underlings, stay out of court and possibly prison, is if they never leave power. They’ve done so much damage and exposed themselves to so much potential criminality they have no choice but to fix elections and silence critics.
Yes, I worry about that too. So many dictators end this way, they either die or are murdered in office, because to leave would mean life in prison.
Yes, 100 times, yes!
Miller's trial for human rights violations should be entertaining.
And, I have been asking for years: Who raised this putrid hate monger? www.yahoo.com/news/stephen...
Excellent question!
Exactly. Trump is just the proxy President; a figure head playing a reality tv POTUS. He's handed EO's and scripts written by others that he has no ideological affinity for.
#MillerActuallyGovernsAmerica
The puppet and puppeteer.
Wormtongue with nukes
Looking forward to reporters asking to speak to the person in charge at Trump’s next presser.
Miller's "currency" with Trump is his obnoxious trolling in TV appearances. The more he spits while the veins in his temples pop out, the more responsibility and latitude Trump gives him
So ... We thinking some Inglorious Bastards carving practice on Weird Steve might be appropriate? 🤞
DEATH FOR FASCISTS
If this is close to accurate, cut off the head of the snake. The president is only a figure without his head.
Miller is like the average slimy joe who makes friends with the aging neighbor and fleeces the neighbor of all his money. Except Miller is using the neighbor's power (pls substitute Trump here) to run America. Both the neighbor and Trump don't know what is happening.
How about Vought? Isn't he the custodian of the broader Project 25 policy?
Wormtongue
When this 🍊🤡 is out of office, Miller must be held accountable for his actions. He must serve some serious time for the criminal acts against human beings. Severe cruelty cannot go with punishment or consequences.
And that should terrify us all.
💯
We need more of this. Miller needs to be brought before Congress. Since the first failed regime, he's been the Trump Whisperer. He's a hateful sub-human POS.
ABC owes Terry Moran an apology. All he did was tell the truth.
I agree
Mr. Miller's SPLC dossier... www.splcenter.org/resources/ex...
It's quite sickening how Trump vests that bigoted and cruel lizard with so much power
Well Trump surrounds himself with loathsome creatures and lets them run amuck, and he loves to fire or humiliate people , so in that sense Stephen Miller's survival is a ringing endorsement, even if Miller is the actual source of all the worst fascist spasms coming out of this WH.
Not just immigration. Miller ordered the air strikes in Yemen.
Somehow media likes to pretend Miller is not making most decisions and outright lying to Trump to get his will
Was it a 4th grade dodge ball game ; did somebody give him a wedgie. Miller is just evil and full of vengeance and retribution.
bsky.app/profile/lady...
At this point, I think we can drop the “shadow” from his title.
Miller hit the jackpot. Finding a president who is the laziest man alive to just hand policy making over to him.
Yep. People can talk about his narcissism and his cruelty and his ignorance, but Trump’s most fundamental characteristic is his laziness.
Well stated. Miller could not find a better “mark.” Trump is lazy and he doesn’t care about people. Have always thought miller was the most evil - truly evil- person in his regimes.
He is a horrible human being.
Miller is a psychopath.
are there people that thought otherwise?
Slime ball. Couldn't be a worse person
I’m a witness!!
Obviously
A thing I want to understand better - how does this individual maintain Trumps ear? Bribes via Heritage? Blackmail?
🤬🤬
The Heritage Foundation is running everything. Miller is just another pawn.
There should be more and more of this. Quit calling it Tramp's immigration policy and start calling it Stephen Miller's. Mention his name in every story above (or even instead of) Tramp, and see how long Stevie boy lasts.
Thank you! bsky.app/profile/nash...
Absolutely, I believed this all along. That man exudes evil
MillerTime is coming to an end. He's literally ROTTING from the INSIDE OUT. Hatred like his is Unsustainable, which is why his wife LEFT and his children HATE HIM.
youtu.be/5UR5_2SFilg?...
bsky.app/profile/chri...
trump calls him "Weird Stephen".
His finger and lip prints are all over P2025. He was busy in his hole during the Biden years.
Trump is Miller’s puppet.
The more of this talk gets back to Donald, the sooner Miller will get booted. Trump hates competition. The race will be between Donald’s evident dementia (and a 25th Amendment solution) and Miller losing favor.
the Dr. Frankenstein of MAGA
High School Himmler
I would argue that Steven Miller is Trump’s doppelgänger. However, Russel Vought is the wizard behind the curtain taking apart the better parts of our government.
Agree, and have believed that for a long time. But we are sure Miller has fingerprints?
This is the truth of who really is controlling the action and the message. DJT is a tool.
Miller is a joke. As is this administration.
Are you not embarrassed as hell to admit this? Y’all should be. He’s not anybody. He’s not powerful. He’s cruel and has a big mouth. Are we all bonkers?
Miller does have power though, obviously. It’s not illegal but that doesn’t seem to matter right now.
He has power only if we let him.
The people of LA are putting their bodies on the street disrupting ICE raids, risking their lives, & recording what’s happening. They’re actively fighting against Miller. They’re doing the opposite of ‘letting’ him.
Trump does not want to be president. He doesn’t want to govern or have responsibility. He just wants the pomp and circumstance that comes with the office.
Miller needs to be called out for what he’s doing, both in Congress and by the main stream media: open.substack.com/pub/critical...
Miller needs to sleep with the fishes
I read a pretty good argument in @tanglenews.bsky.social that Trump's opinion is whatever the last argument he heard was. Maybe Miller is making sure he's always the last person he heard from.
Russell Vought too surely!?
Yes
Miller is the President and Vought is his Chief of Staff.
Miller needs to be in the spotlight non stop to show how extreme and un-American he really is. He and Russ Vought/Heritage are the guys pulling the levers. Their vision of America is truly bleak
86 Stephen Miller.
Yep, since day one. And Miller will bring them all down because he thinks he's invincible.
I bet Miller is at the center of the decision to whether or not to bomb Iran.
And, you've been right. Trump must really regret that Miller is anything 𝒃𝒖𝒕 "out of central casting".
I think Trump is actually afraid of the Nazi Miller. And this same Miller will be the reason that MAGA will end. His own parents do not speak with him. He exhibits sociopathic behavior,speaks like a dictator,an angry human. Not fit to be a public figure leading a nation representing the Constitution
This POS is a heartless bastard with an obvious racist sickness and like the rest of Trump’s group of deplorables has no place in our government. Screw him. Screw ICE, Screw MAGA, Screw Trump.
Agree
It’s has struck me for some time that the orange clown has been more or less in absentia since the beginning, with Miller for immigration, Navarro for trade, Vought for agency “management”, and dealing with everything else himself, as long as it doesn’t interfere with his golf trips. IMPEACH 🍊🤡!
Similarly, Netanyahu is playing - and has always played - TACO like a cheap fiddle.
Oh ,so... . Shouldn't the Senate ask him about Butler..?
Yeah, there is no way Grampa RICO thinks all the things they are doing, it’s clearly someone else
He's a sick fuck
Lovin' you on MSNBC!
I'm so tired of the discussion about who the real mastermind is. Putin, Musk, Miller, Bannon, Heritage, Netanyahu. It doesn't matter the effect the effect is the same
The real fingerprints are from the Heritage Foundation leaders and policy thinkers. Miller is their official spokesman. Hateful white men want to punish freedom, loving people everywhere. White supremacy must be implemented and maintained in America no matter what the cost is to the innocent.
And this is why he lost his wife to Elon! Has his nose in stuff that doesn’t concern him at all. I never elected any of them to shit!
The key to Miller's ascendency... the pesky kids aren't around this time. But no matter how many ketchup tossing tantrums he survives from DT, he will get tossed out and run over at some point by the sheer force of DT's pathological narcissism. DT may not be in control but he needs to believe he is.
Trump is scared of Miller.
Who wouldn't be...?
But how ‘bout those egg prices !
Totally agree!
AND, Stephen Miller is doing the bidding of the Christian Nationalists. His only playbook is Project 2025. He is a major part of the cult.
And every day that he looks in the mirror he will always see a self-hating Jew. He'll never be one of them.
Donald Trump couldn’t wipe his own ass without a notarized permission slip from Stephen Miller…
Both Donald Trump and Stephen Miller's fathers were slum lords. Woody Guthrie told us about Fred Trump in 1954.
The other thing Miller’s fingerprints are on is Musk’s black eye. IYSWIM
You can always tell when Miller wrote something. It’s generously spiked with rhetorical triplets.
I hope some judge has the courage to take miller into custody for contempt because they will get another opportunity.
Maybe Jake Tapper can write another book...
Truth !
Within a few days of inauguration as USAID was being destroyed by Musk, Miller went on cnn and falsely claimed that 99% of USAID employees donated to Harris (half of USAID employees are from partner countries/not us citizens/do not donate or vote!). Convinced the call to destroy it came from miller.
Susie Wiles is quiet. I’ll never understand women who support this heinous administration.
Has anyone really tried to refute that?
Agree. Dark and dangerous power behind trump.
Yes. Miller is the most evil of them all. And that is saying something.
And Russel Vought, founder of Project 2025!
He’s a real charmer. Ain’t the world lucky.
Who's that weird old guy on the stage with President Miller.
Yes. It's why everything is so remarkably creepy and evil. And ignorant.
Scary thought
As we've known all along Trump is just a useful idiot and puppet for Miller, Project 2026 and the New Apostolic Reformation.
Skinhead Traitor!!
Don't forget that M***** served every second of the previous 4 years. It's more of a big deal when you remember that actually qualified people were fired, or quit, quite regularly.
Imagine if Miller had just put his trash in his high school lunch room's garbage can.
See bsky.app/profile/cram...
The irony of TACO's terrorizing all brown-skinned people is that he's breaking the backs of all those lily-white folks who voted for him.
Trump may be cool with the Miller immigration agenda but unclear whether our elected president has any idea what that agenda actually is.
He’s not really a “details” guy, you know?
Trump has no idea about ANYTHING going on. He is suffering from advanced Dementia. Here we are ...
Trump's brain is gone.
bsky.app/profile/cram...
Stephen Miller. …..
It’s hard to describe just how evil that little fucker is… I cannot find the words.
Truth!
#NoKings and no 'power behind the throne' weasels like Stephen Miller.
bsky.app/profile/cram...
Miller started out as Jeff Session’s little acolyte, no? So how did he accrue so much power? Where are the Mercers in all this?
I can't figure out what Miller's endgame is here. Republican business owners don't want this, because they want cheap, exploitable workers. Maybe Miller's willing to hurt his party for the sake of his bigoted ideology, but why isn't the party pushing back?
My take is the business owners want some harassment of immigrant workers in order to make the rest of them afraid. But I think they don't believe Trump and Miller plan to get rid of all non-white immigrants.
Why? Power. The party has become completely complacent to him.
His endgame is what Hitlers was- aryan nation
Because its all about white supremacy/white nationalism, at all costs. Thats ALWAYS been the MAGA m.o./motivator/goal. These are the racists who believe in the great replacement theory. And the media has largely ignored these facts for ten years now...
It's not economic. The guy hates brown people and hasn't yet experienced consequences for his actions.
He doesn’t seem to have an endgame—just a lifelong hatred of particular immigrants. I don’t get why GOP aren’t pushing back either. If farmers get a financial bailout, that won’t help put food in markets.
Except he isn’t making any decisions.
You can bet he overrules a few
But it seems that he is. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
I meant OYT isn’t making any decisions. Miller is running the show.
His endgame is get to mass deport millions of non-white people because he doesn't like a diverse America and what it means for white Americans becoming a minority. He doesn't care about whatever happens afterwards.
Maybe they would prefer those cheap, exploitable workers to be white? The part I can't figure out is who they think their customers/ consumers will be when they have impoverished everyone but the top few %.
His endgame is ethnic cleansing. He doesn't care if it hurts business. He's not a business interest guy.
His end game is an all-white Christian nation. End of story.
I think I may know the answer. Miller has Trump's ear, and serves at Trump's pleasure, and Trump is deranged.
Wait, a bunch of idiot people who hold worldviews built on nonsense beliefs may not have a clear and sane plan? Also, is water wet?
Republicans do have an agenda—hanging on to power. And Miller is interfering with that agenda, and turning off a bloc of donors who let Republicans hang on to power.
Miller is the definition of evil with power and a desire to harm. That is his mission and his endgame. I could elaborate on the psychology but it doesn’t matter. In practice, he is delighted to harm others. I think “others” include those who get in the way of his mission.
Iago without the charm.
💯
Crowds of us need to show at Home Depot with a deep sprayed on tan like Trump. www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture...
Hitler reportedly ruled the same way, i.e., he threw out evil ideas for the highest Nazis (all eager to win the competition for the Führer's affection) to put into practice, no matter how cruel.
Agree 1000%. The cruelty just oozes from Miller.
Yep. I've been saying for months that Miller is the fascist who's running the show. [==*==] bsky.app/profile/gort...
yep, and when he gets to be too much of a bother, i could see them arranging a "medical emergency" or perhaps "failed unaliving attempt" that fully incapacitates him, but keeps him alive. cue mass prayer vigils & "honoring him by finishing the work he started".
Unelected “president”. 😩
they just let Trump play with his Tariff toys to appease him.
Why is the question that they are letting him have complete control.
Agreed. Problem identified. Remove the problem by asking Trump daily why Miller gets all the credit for his policy.
It’s pretty obvious!
Old Weird Stephen
My thoughts, exactly. He needs to go.
Men often lead with their dicks
Miller basically said he was controlling that twit Elon Musk too.
So the fuck what? What do you expect to happen or get done about it? Seriously, this is the least useful story I've seen today.
Repeat this often enough and Trump will get rid of him. Let Trump blame Miller for tanking poll numbers.
That creep should be in prison.. he’s a real Nazi traitor
He has redlined my radar since 2016.
And I can’t think of a more despicable, cruel racist to be in this position.
‘Weird Stephen’ is in charge
We can’t let him get away with this
