Show Notes
Stephen Miller has consolidated unprecedented power in Trump's second term, personally drafting or editing every single executive order signed by the president. The deputy White House chief of staff operates with virtually no oversight from Chief of Staff Susie Wiles or anyone else in the administration. Miller architected the deadly boat strikes off Venezuela that killed over 100 people without identifying victims or proving drug involvement. He designed aggressive immigration sweeps in Minneapolis, Los Angeles and Chicago, freelancing policy statements without White House approval.
Miller pushed for military strikes inside Mexico against drug cartels and later advocated invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy troops in Minneapolis. Trump's polling numbers have plummeted, with the president now reportedly giving Miller side eye for the political damage. Miller uses Signal messaging app illegally to avoid Presidential Records Act requirements. He communicates directly with Kristi Noem at DHS, ordering ICE operations including factory raids Trump publicly opposed. Miller moved his family from a six million dollar Arlington home to a military base after sidewalk chalk protests.
He operates beyond his immigration portfolio, making unauthorized statements on Greenland, Venezuela and foreign policy. Miller pushed to investigate liberal groups using counterterrorism methods employed after 9/11. Trump has questioned why Miller speaks on topics outside his authority. The Wall Street Journal reporting reveals Miller's influence over Trump's boundary pushing impulses continues despite mounting political costs and legal questions surrounding his unchecked power in the executive branch.
