He appointed himself. He has that kind of power. Years of licking Donald Trump’s boots has brought Stephen Miller to a place where he’s now the most powerful man in the Executive Branch. He gets to decide every move Donald Trump makes. The question is, why?
The Republicans got it handed to them last Tuesday, and one of the biggest reasons why was Miller. Every fight he’s picked has been wrong. Every political instinct he’s shown has been wrong. And every move he’s made has been devastating to our country.
From ripping parents away from their children to shooting a man helping a woman out of a snowbank, he’s been responsible. It doesn’t matter if there’s an outbreak of measles or an ad supporting a child getting rapped. It doesn’t matter if he’s right there or not. It’s all about power. And he’s had the power to do it.
So why did Trump appoint him? A man who clearly lacks the morality or even the ability to govern with the new majority? The answer is clear: He didn’t, Stephen Miller did.
Miller knows how to play Trump. A simple “you look like you’ve lost weight” or “did you shoot a 75 today?” should suffice. And if that doesn’t get it done, there’s always the ace in the hole. “Gee Mr. President, why do you have more hair than me?”
See, Donald has never had to deal with a loss like this. The one time he should have he still doesn’t believe it. But not this time. This time he knows for sure. He knows he was on the ballot and 65% of America said go away. This time he’s the Andy Dufresne that didn’t get away. This time, he wants out.
Good riding with you,
