Stephen Miller, Donald Trump’s most controversial aide and the architect of his sweeping immigration crackdown, has lavished praise on the president after his appointment as White House chief of staff.

In his first public remarks since the move was announced, Miller – who begins the role on Monday – pledged “total devotion” to Trump amid concern the administration is now poised to double down on its far-right, nativist immigration agenda.

“If it wasn’t for President Trump the United States of America would not exist right now,” Miller, standing alongside his boss, declared at an event on Friday evening. “This man saved America. He saved our military from collapse. He saved our economy from destruction. He saved our border from annihilation. He saved our country from threats at home and abroad which would have been the end of the American dream for ever.”

    This is too much for me.

      It’s the kind of statement that lets you know there’s absolutely no point in debating or talking to him. There’s only going to be unhinged bullshit.

    Miller scares me.

    He’s absolutely insane. He’s the one who said the US should have a population of 100m people who look just like him.

    He’s essentially what Goebbels was to Hitler.

    The irony is not lost on me that him and his wife are jewish. His stance on immigration is worse than Tom Homan.

    This is essentially the peak of his career. Two years to cause as much fucking damage as he can.

    This fucker is a Jew. His great-grandparents emigrated from Belarus to escape pogroms. If anybody should know better than to turn into a Nazi, it’s Stephen fucking Miller.

    Why do so many Jews who really should know better turn into Nazis? The mind boggles…

    That is the only skill one needs when working for Trump. Real skills for the job in question had never been in demand under him. Just look at his cabinet.

    The headline really buries the lede. He was the Deputy Chief of Staff and selected to be the Chief of Staff… He’s EXPECTED to follow the will of the President.

    The blatant lies are expected from him but they are stupid and the more significant piece of his statements.
