Nowhere is it more obvious that President Trump is unwilling to compromise or rein in his efforts to secure the border and deport illegal aliens than with the promotion of Stephen Miller to Chief of Staff. The midterms won’t stop that fight.
Miller has long been one of the President’s staunchest allies on this issue.
On Friday, Miller delivered an impassioned defense of Donald Trump the man and made it clear he wasn’t wavering despite fierce criticism from Democrat leaders. And that has to make them ever so slightly nervous.
Trump handed Miller the microphone, giving his newly elevated aide an opportunity to address supporters directly at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) event in Mar-a-Lago.
Miller praised the president’s record and pledged his own commitment to the administration, while using the moment to urge Republicans to stand behind the commander-in-chief rather than retreat.
“Let me tell you, if it wasn’t for President Trump, the United States of America would not exist right now,” he insisted. “This man saved America. He saved our military from collapse. He saved our economy from destruction. He saved our border from annihilation.”
“This man took a bullet for us,” the newly minted COS continued. “He faced down life in prison for us. He saved the Republican Party from the ash heap of history and has made it stronger, more popular, and more resilient than ever before.”
Stephen Miller just gave his first speech as Chief of Staff to the crowd at @CPAC Mar-A-Lago. He is READY and committed to our nation and our President. I am READY for the era of @StephenM as Chief of Staff! https://t.co/xVuIslH9tr

Miller’s comments are perhaps a necessary reminder of what the president’s fight for this nation meant in saving America from the incompetence of Joe Biden and the intentional destruction of America under his autopen-wielding minions. Destruction that would have continued unabated under Kamala Harris.
It gives us a moment to pause and reflect after these last few difficult days.
“We need to stand with the man who has stood with us and this country with every fiber of his being. It is the honor of my life to be President Trump’s chief of staff, and I swear to you, and I pledge to you, Mr. President, my absolute loyalty, my unwavering commitment, and my total devotion to your success and the success of this country,” Miller added.
His remarks sharply contrasted with the Democrat reaction to his appointment. Miller can deliver a speech from the heart, while Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (NY), Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA-7), Rep. Robert Garcia (CA-42), and the Democratic National Committee all invoked variations of the same description, casting Miller as an “architect” of policies they oppose.
Look at this:
- Schumer: “Stephen Miller is the architect of the most barbaric, inhumane policies of this administration.”
- Jayapal: “Stephen Miller is the architect of Project 2025 …”
- Garcia: “Stephen Miller is the architect of the unconstitutional ICE raids that have terrorized our communities …”
- DNC: “Miller is Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff, domestic policy advisor, and the architect of Trump’s worst policies …”
But wait, there’s more!
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV): “Stephen Miller is the chief architect of Trump’s racist, cruel, and un-American campaign of terror across our country.”
Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Adriano Espaillat (NY-13): “To elevate the architect of those policies as White House chief of staff is a desperate and irresponsible cry for attention.”
On originality, I award you -500 points. Feel free to mix in a thesaurus next time, guys and gals.
It is a good reminder of how the opposition stands shoulder to shoulder in opposing everything Trump and patriotic Americans stand for, right down to reaching for the same keywords to feed their supporters. And they call the Republicans a cult.
Miller is such an “architect” that he might as well open his own firm.
