https://www.politico.com/story/2018/08/29/stephen-miller-immigration-policy-white-house-trump-799199He is ruthless and evil .
snip of article:
But, Miller, who recently turned 33, led several of the meetings. And he would launch the sessions with horror stories about Americans being victimized by noncitizens, such as a 25-year-old Connecticut woman stabbed to death by a Haitian man who should have been deported earlier. The tone left some in the room feeling anxious about trying to argue against him, according to current and former U.S. officials.
What are we doing to save American lives? We must save American lives! We must save Americans from these immigrant criminals! a former NSC official recalled Miller saying in one session. He would tell these stories to make it clear there was no room for anything other than to come down hard on these countries, even if we had other national security interests to consider.
Millers hard-charging approach to the discussion offers a glimpse into just one of the many tactics psychological and otherwise he has used to secure an iron grip on Trumps immigration policies, surviving blowups such as the initial blowback over the presidents travel ban and the more recent fracas over the migrant family separation policy.
He takes care to limit his paper trail, avoiding email and keeping his name off documents when possible. He has cajoled and bullied some career staffers into implementing his vision of radically tighter U.S. borders a vision that, according to a former White House official, even Trump has privately suggested can be extreme. Even when he doesnt get everything he wants, such as with the recalcitrant countries, he manages to dramatically alter the boundaries of the debate.

no charisma. If he did, he'd be the person on the stage - trying to run for president/higher office.
Of course, even as the puppet master, he has managed so much damage

If he had been born in Hitler's time, he would have become a brownshirt or an SS officer.
