The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism.
Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy.
But that's not what's interesting about Miller.
It's not brains. It's bile.

Never lose sight of how weird and corrupt it is for the president to have his unelected, unconfirmed oligarch friend—his biggest campaign donor—conduct US foreign policy.
No other US president did that, and there’s no reason to think he’s representing the American people rather than himself.
