Since the Blue Tsunami on Tuesday, November 3, the Mad King, occupant of the Oval Office, has taken the following insane steps.
- He blamed Greg Abbott for losing Texas, calling him a Rhino.
- In an out of touch with reality moment, he conducted a tour of his White House Ballroom expansion project, vowing to be the veto king the day after the election.
- He blamed the American people for a major tech stock sell-off, saying they had no one but themselves to blame.
- He named his Joseph Goebbels and anti-immigrant, white nationalist, fascist kindred spirit, Judenrat Stephen Miller, as his White House Chief of Staff/Gatekeeper.
To put this in perspective, here is a list of White House Chiefs of Staff who were very qualified, had the temperament for the job, and were well regarded in real time and by history.
Alexander Haig
Richard 'Dick' Cheney
James Baker
Howard Baker
Leon Panetta
Erskine Bowles
John Podesta
Andrew Card
Rahm Emanuel
Pete Rouse
Ron Klain.
Stephen Miller is nowhere in their league.
Even historically poorly regarded Chiefs of Staff like Sherman Adams, HR Halderman, and Matt McLarty were infinitely better fit for the position than the American Duce Wannabes' newest fascist gatekeeper.
This pick reminds should remind people who know history of Hitler's last days in his bunker, where his Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, was quoting Nostradamus passages to his increasingly doped-up Führer, telling him that the tide would turn and Germany would push back against the Allied forces encroaching on Berlin and the rest of Germany.
With this move, Trump is clearly opting for a bunker mentality for the next two years, with his fiercest loyalist by his side, declaring war again on the majority of the country that voted against him on Tuesday.
Members of Arizona's growing Democratic House Delegation voiced their views on the Miller pick.
Arizona Representative Yassamin Ansari said in a social media post:
"Donald Trump just appointed Stephen Miller to be the next White House Chief of Staff. It is so insane that after a week where there was such a rejection of his corrupt and cruel agenda, he has heard nothing from the American people. He's doubling down.
He's saying, I don't give a damn about you, as he has been saying throughout his presidency, and he is appointing Stephen Miller, who is the most evil person in this administration. Stephen Miller is the guy who is the architect of Trump's mass deportation agenda. Stephen Miller is the reason that Renee Nicole Goode and Alex Pretty and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and so many others were shot and killed on the streets of the United States of America.
Stephen Miller is the reason we have over 65,000 people on any given day locked up in ICE detention centers across the country dealing with inhumane conditions. He is the person that sent Elon Musk and DOGE to decimate agencies and devastate millions of Americans by cutting their healthcare. This is a very clear message from the president to the American people, again, that he doesn't give a damn.
We have to take this very seriously. We need to subpoena Stephen Miller. We need to investigate his crimes, and we need to fight as hard as we can when we're in the House and the Senate to stop these people, stop their corruption, stop their cruelty, and build a better country."
Representative Adelita Grijalva posted:
"Has Trump learned NOTHING from the midterms?
Voters — especially Latinos — just delivered a resounding rejection of his cruel, anti-immigrant agenda.
His response? Appoint Stephen Miller, the architect of that very agenda, as Chief of Staff.
Trump isn’t listening. He’s doubling down."
Representative Greg Stanton offered:
"Picking Stephen Miller as White House Chief of Staff tells you everything about where the next two years are headed.
On Tuesday, voters delivered a resounding rebuke, and a big part of what they rejected was the cruel, chaotic immigration agenda Miller built.
Instead of listening, the President doubled down. That's bad news for anyone hoping divided government can deliver for working families.
If there's a silver lining, it's this: Republicans just handed Democrats a clearer path to the White House in 2028."
Senator Ruben Gallego wrote:
"Stephen Miller is the brains behind the most depraved immigration policies we’ve seen in generations—policies the American people just emphatically rejected.
The new White House Chief of Staff better get ready to testify and answer for the chaos he unleashed."
