Stephan Miller

Tweet

He is the White House deputy chief of staff and was a speechwriter for Trump during his first Presidential term. He helped to write Trump's 2017 inaugural address. He has been a key advisor since the early days of Trump's presidency. He was the architect of Trump's travel ban and the policy of separating migrant children from their parents. He also prevented the publication of internal administration studies that showed that refugees had a positive effect on government revenues. He is also said to have had a central role in the resignation of Secretary of Homeland Security Kyrsten Nielson. As a White House spokesman, he has made false and unsubstantiated claims regarding widespread electoral fraud on many occasions. He is Jewish, about 45, and has been a staunch conservative since his early life. In college at Duke University he was close friends with Richard Spencer who later became an important figure in the white supremacist movement and said in a 2016 interview that he had mentored Miller. He also accused Maya Angelou of "racial paranoia" and that his group, the Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan as being a radical national Hispanic group that believed in racial superiority. He has had a long kinship with Steve Bannon but he distanced himself when Bannon lost his position in the White House. It was Miller's idea to use American troops to seal the entire border against Mexico. (It was estimated that that would take about 250,000 troops.) Defense Secretary Esper opposed the idea and it was abandoned. Stephan Miller started the American First Legal Foundation which has been listed as a supporter of Project 2025 which is a long and in-depth right-wing manifesto of which Trump has said he knew nothing about in his pre-election interviews but is now following almost to the letter.
