Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday, the White House deputy chief of staff launched into an unhinged rant against Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson—both of whom Donald Trump has called to be jailed—while accusing them of failing to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

      Yeah, pretty much.

      Trump is old and easy to manipulate as long as they distract him with pointless things (like attacking his personal enemies with the DOJ). He’s the President like a 3 year old is The Chef when helping cook. You flatter him with unearned praise and give him activities to distract him while you do the actual work.

      In his cabinet are people, like Miller and Leonard Leo, who are effectively controlling the power of the presidency by proxy. Miller is a white supremacist xenophobie who was given ICE and he’s using it exactly how you’d expect an open racist to use it.

      The fact that it creates domestic friction and causes protests is a bonus, so Bondi can attack Democrats as terrorists and supporters of terrorists and work on “””protecting””” the next election.

      He is like every villain rolled into one, but he seems to have more of a direct role deciding policy than Goebbels.

      Marco Rubio, seemed to take credit but apparently Miller is actually the idea man who decided the U.S. should start murdering boats full of Venezuelans in international waters with drones.

      Miller also seems to be the one who came up with the idea to give ICE quotas they had to meet.
