- Stephen Miller is the new White House chief of staff and is framed as Trump’s “war-time consigliere,” with a doctrine bearing his name.
- Miller holds that presidential power should be almost limitless, sharply contrasting him with Susie Wiles.
- Miller considers the Democratic Party an extremist organization.
- Miller favors ruthless crackdowns on immigration and foreign adversaries.
Why it matters: Trump’s new chief of staff brings three linked positions—almost limitless presidential power, labeling the Democratic Party extremist, and hard-line crackdowns on immigration and foreign adversaries—into the White House’s center. That contrast with Susie Wiles makes Miller’s appointment a doctrinal change in how the chief-of-staff role is being defined.
