Stephen Miller, Donald Trump’s most controversial aide and the architect of his sweeping immigration crackdown, has lavished praise on the president after his appointment as White House chief of staff.

In his first public remarks since the move was announced, Miller – who begins the role on Monday – pledged “total devotion” to Trump amid concern the administration is now poised to double down on its far-right, nativist immigration agenda.

“If it wasn’t for President Trump the United States of America would not exist right now,” Miller, standing alongside his boss, declared at an event on Friday evening. “This man saved America. He saved our military from collapse. He saved our economy from destruction. He saved our border from annihilation. He saved our country from threats at home and abroad which would have been the end of the American dream for ever.”

What he says: "total devotion"

What he means:

(Yeah, that's the 1920s Catholic Church)

[-] MangioneDontMiss@feddit.nl 3 points 2 days ago

catholic church is probably one of the least surprising accessories to Hitler's rule.

Wow Andrew Windsor is way older than I realized

[-] snack_pack_rodriguez@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Well just remember his original name was "Saxe-Coburg and Gotha" they changed the first time the Germans attacked just 3 years before that picture.

They should have never let this monster outta that cave.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 53 points 3 days ago

Guess who is wishing for a pardon when his crimes are brought to light.

[-] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 35 points 3 days ago

His crimes have already been brought to light. What they need is to be brought to court.

[-] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 days ago

You think that's everything?

“If it wasn’t for President Trump the United States of America would not exist right now,” Miller, standing alongside his boss, declared at an event on Friday evening.

This is too much for me.

[-] Norn@lemmy.zip 38 points 3 days ago

It’s the kind of statement that lets you know there’s absolutely no point in debating or talking to him. There’s only going to be unhinged bullshit.

[-] mefisdo_dot_info@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

What a loser, only the USA depends on him. The whole universe wouldn't exist if I didn't want it to. Source: the voices.

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Of course. Trump is the only reason he has any power at all.

Spam his X with the song “hopelessly devoted to you”

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

Miller scares me.

He's absolutely insane. He's the one who said the US should have a population of 100m people who look just like him.

He's essentially what Goebbels was to Hitler.

The irony is not lost on me that him and his wife are jewish. His stance on immigration is worse than Tom Homan.

This is essentially the peak of his career. Two years to cause as much fucking damage as he can.

[-] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 13 points 3 days ago

He's smart, insane, extremely racist and competent. That's a terrifying combo.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I think what he does with his power actually makes him worse than Goebbels. Put aside the visual similarities and remember that Goebbels was mostly focused on propaganda and that kind of shit. He was an evil man, but he wasn't the one behind the scenes engineering the actual mechanisms to kill millions of people.

Miller doesn't seem to care much at all about "the message" or convincing people of anything. Dude is just evil and wants to do evil shit and could not care less what people think (as long as he can live on a military base with 24/7 protection).

I hope people don't think I'm downplaying the evil of Goebbels, I am most certainly not.

I think Miller is more akin to someone like Himmler, Heydrich, or Eichmann. He's somehow worse than Goebbels in my opinion. At least in the context of the current situation.

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I drew the parallel because Miller was Trump's speechwriter for most of his stuff and the apparently close relationship Miller and Trump have.

Looking through what Goebbels was able to do during Hitler's reign looks very similar to the role Chief of Staff plays in the U.S.

Interesting trivia - Goebbels had an official goverment position within the ministry of propaganda, giving the illusion of responsibility and accountability. The Chief of Staff is not a goverment official, and is not given those assumptions. However, this means he is also not technically awarded the protections of the executive branch. This is why Chiefs of Staff have butt heads with their president.

[-] Akasazh@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

The hopeful thing is that Trump only did this after the zenith of power waned. If he'd been on top of things earlier this administration would've been way more dangerous.

The most important flaw of Trump is that he can't envision himself losing, so he's not preparing for it. Had he listened to competent evil people before and gebed their advice, they would be way harder to defeat. Luckily he's a buffoon without strategic capability.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

When I see videos of this asshole in high school, it makes me wonder how much or how little bullying he received.

I'm Gen X and when I watch this jagoff shooting off his mouth on the bus or on that mic, all I can think when watching it is "this guy is practically begging for swirlies".

[-] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 2 points 2 days ago

I dunno about you but you can also feel the insane silver spoon privilege reeking off them. He was not bullied because he was part of the "my father will hear about this" club, I would wager.

If this man recieved even a single swirly in his life, we wouldn't be here.

[-] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 24 points 3 days ago

This fucker is a Jew. His great-grandparents emigrated from Belarus to escape pogroms. If anybody should know better than to turn into a Nazi, it's Stephen fucking Miller.

Why do so many Jews who really should know better turn into Nazis? The mind boggles...

[-] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Hurt people hurt people.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

He has deep self loathing. His childhood best friend was Latino, and when he realized he hated brown people, he also realized he hated his friend.

[-] hornedfiend@sopuli.xyz 9 points 3 days ago

Because he's a ghoul and his master vampire won't set him free.

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

Why do abused kids tend to turn in to abusers?

[-] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 9 points 3 days ago

Today's Jews have never known abuse. Their grandparents did.

I'm old enough to have known family members who came back from the camps in 1945, and they told us kids what they lived through. I've never known the war or the deportations, but I onboarded my family's history, and as I result, I have a deep-seated, profound hatred of fascism in all its forms.

The Israeli Jews, and non-Israeli Jewish sacks of shit like Stephen Miller, decided to ditch their family's past and onboard fascism instead. Why they're doing that is totally beyond my comprehension.

[-] athairmor@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Crippling insecurity and the need to feel in control.

[-] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Uhm, has anyone told you about Israel?

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago

I'm pretty sure they were referring to Israel

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 1 points 3 days ago

Almost like Israel, as a nation built to protect human rights from genocide and make the world safer for one people who suffered greatly, should know not to commit genocide.

The reason we are meant to study history is to stop repeating the mistakes from the worst of humanity. Instead fascists and racists seem to use it as a lesson as to how to try to consolidate power.

We also need to learn how not to dehumanise other spoke by dividing them into us and them. It's part of our base instinct from an evolutionary standpoint. But in a world no longer formed of tribes, with rule of law and interconnected societies, ot serves only those who wish to manipulate.

Of course he's totally devoted to him. He isn't stupid. He knows full well that everyone knows he's a nazi fuck and absolutely nobody but a vindictive idiot cunt like Trump would ever give him enough power to decide so much as a lunch menu. He also knows full well that this is it. He's attached to a highly unpopular lame duck president who triggered the biggest political wave in 50 years against his party. Clock's ticking before he loses every bit of power he'll every have.

He'll play the deluded sycophant on tv to appease his boss, but he's not. He's an opportunist that is taking advantage of a temporarily powerful egotistical man who is highly susceptible to flattery and personal loyalty to exercise every ounce of his fascist agenda he can.

Things are about to ramp up in the Trump White house. If this new congress does their jobs, they're about to be very busy fighting back against Miller's agenda items. If they don't do their jobs, it's about to get far far worse in the US before Trump's time runs out.

someone should tell steve that he's way too old for trump

[-] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

Don't get it twisted. Trump works for Miller, not the other way around. This is just lip service to stroke his ego.

[-] theedqueen@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Miller and Natalie Hart are at the top of the cult pyramid

Please. This dude is the real power. He's the tail wagging the dog.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

That is the only skill one needs when working for Trump. Real skills for the job in question had never been in demand under him. Just look at his cabinet.

[-] SecretiveVault@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 days ago

Can't wait to see this stupid ugly fucker in jail

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

“If it wasn’t for President Trump the United States of America would not exist right now,”

Oh, no! It wouldn't exist!

What a loony.

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 6 points 3 days ago

Obvoiusly Greenland and Canada was planning to invade from the north, while Venezuela and Iran planned to invade from the south. s/

That's not nice!

[-] Blibly@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Goebbels for gobbling the slob's knob

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Everything about this scumbag aside, let's just forget for a moment that we're talking about one of the worst humans alive.

Imagine pledging "total devotion" to that guy. It's just madness to me. That guy? Like... You're sure??

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 5 points 3 days ago

Trump's twenty most loyal servants, funders and tech-bros should be buried with him when he dies, so they can continue serving him in the afterlife.

[-] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 5 points 3 days ago

‘total devotion’ to the ~~president~~ Führer

There Stephen, fixed that for ya.

[-] zoloftt@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

The headline really buries the lede. He was the Deputy Chief of Staff and selected to be the Chief of Staff... He's EXPECTED to follow the will of the President.

The blatant lies are expected from him but they are stupid and the more significant piece of his statements.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

He is totally devoted to him. That's why it's expected. He's a more psychotic Steve Bannon.
