Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste

Andrew Egger: “Despite his unassuming title of ‘deputy chief of staff,’ Stephen Miller is one of the most powerful men in America. His boss, Donald Trump, is undisciplined and unfocused, prone to launching major initiatives (mass deportation, D.C. crime crackdown) before wandering off to get distracted by fripperies (redecorating the White House, micromanaging the Kennedy Center). Miller, by contrast, is the always-on attack dog, single-mindedly scheming up new ways to translate the president’s vague pronouncements into applications of real government power. As one top official at a major university in the crosshairs of this administration told us: he is the point person on all of it; his office, the real power center inside the White House.”

“How Miller has been talking in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination should have everybody worried.”
