Stephen Miller, the man behind the Wall, and Family Separation

Is this man at the heart of Trump's attitude about immigration?
We need to know more about him, if he is setting policy in the White House, and he is not going to leave in my opinion. Anyone here with more info on this fellow?


And someone Trump listens to. worth the time to read. From The Atlantic:

1. I don't feel that I personally need to know any more about him; he just needs to go

none of these fuckers are going to go willingly, but they need to go--anyway I agree that Miller is one of the worst, certainly the most obviously hateful and seems like he must have had a shitty childhood and now wants the entire world to suffer his revenge...and really he's one of the only ones left from the original crew brought in to destroy our country. He is an odious little antisocial fascist.

2. I wonder why Miller in particular

seems to have so much influence on Trump, where others fell from grace and often left. Miller's few appearances on TV were horrible and certainly embarrassing for the White House, yet he is still there. It clearly isn't his sparkling personality.

1. flatter the orange idiot; 2. through further flattery, suggest some idea to him that you want him to implement; 3. make him think he came up with the idea himself, 4. repeat flattery and reinforcement of the implanted intention as needed (since what's left of the orange one's mind does tend to wander....)

Miller used a lot of flattery and boot licking to get on Trump's good side, but I figured that even someone as vain and self absorbed as Trump could see what a slimy weasel Miller is. I'm sure Ivanka and Jared don't like him. Maybe he is like Rasputin, he's certainly creepy enough.

Grima Wormtongue assistant to Theoden, King of Rohan. This evil toad was a hypnotist of sorts enlisted by another king, Saruman, who was under the influence of the Evil one who wanted the ring of power to rule the world.

Theoden was freed from the spell Wormtongue held him under by Gandalf the Grey.

Here's what happens when the spell is broken, same two characters as above...

Miller and Attorney General Jeff Sessions were described as the chief champions of the Trump administration's decision to start to separate migrant children from their parents when they crossed the U.S. border.[11][40] Miller argued that such a policy would deter migrants to come to the United States.[
