Stephen Miller: Trump's 'Prime Minister' & Architect of Hardline White House Power

  • Stephen Miller has emerged as the most consequential figure shaping policy, ideology, and execution in Donald Trump's second presidency.
  • His influence expanded from a speechwriter to designing and enforcing policies, particularly on immigration, leading to an aggressive crackdown and ICE expansion.
  • Miller's remit now includes foreign affairs, shaping Venezuela policy and advocating for the annexation of Greenland, dismissing international law.
  • He believes the world is governed by strength and power, not international niceties, a view he applies to US foreign policy.
  • Trump increasingly defers to Miller, whose hardline ideology has reshaped the administration's stance, making him the architect of a more absolutist vision of American power.

Why It Matters: Stephen Miller has become the central architect of Trump's hardline policies, wielding unprecedented power in the White House.
