This article asserts that Stephen Miller, Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff, is the actual architect and driving force behind the Trump administration's most extreme policies, urging readers to focus on him rather than Trump. Described as a zealot with a mission to 'save the west,' Miller's influence spans both domestic and foreign policy, including aggressive immigration tactics, efforts against birthright citizenship, and even international plots. The author traces Miller's history from his prejudiced high school days to his role in family separations at the border, noting his marriage to Katie Waldman, an immigration spokesperson. The piece includes a peculiar anecdote about Miller's extreme fondness for mayonnaise, which the author uses not to humanize him, but to emphasize that despite his extraordinary power, he is ultimately a 'pathetic little man.' The article concludes by advocating for both fear of Miller's brutal vision and the importance of laughing at authoritarians, as they despise ridicule.
