"The 40-year-old, a lover of tailored suits and the White House deputy chief of staff for domestic policy, is, despite his seemingly insignificant official position, one of the most influential figures in the administration. Perhaps he's even the most influential, aside from President Donald Trump (who trusts him completely). A champion of ultraconservative ideas, Miller is Trump's chief ideologue. He's the president's advisor on domestic policy and homeland security, as well as the architect of some of his harshest initiatives, including the mass deportation strategy."
"Miller's ultranationalist ideas fit like a glove with Trump's worldview, in which the United States dictates the terms through negotiation or coercion (the former for friendly countries, the latter for more rebellious governments), while respecting the lebensraum of other great powers. The rest of the countries, meanwhile, become mere vassals: they must simply comply with the directives, without the right to an opinion."
Stephen Miller, a 40-year-old White House deputy chief of staff for domestic policy, wields outsized influence within the administration. Miller serves as Trump's chief ideologue and advisor on domestic policy and homeland security, and he has crafted policies such as a mass deportation strategy. His ultranationalist worldview extends into foreign policy, promoting a posture in which the United States dictates terms through negotiation or coercion while accepting great-power spheres of influence. Miller defended a U.S. claim to Greenland as a superpower move, a stance that has alarmed European foreign ministries and aligns with the administration's new National Security Strategy.
