I Know What They Really Say about Stephen Miller | The Daily Beast Podcast
David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles to break down the political earthquake that has left Donald Trump reelingâand Washington bracing for a brutal new chapter. After a crushing Democratic election victory, Trump is scrambling to contain the fallout, elevating the deeply unpopular Stephen Miller, turning on Susie Wiles, and leaving JD Vance politically exposed. Rothkopf explains why Trump’s grip on power is slipping, why Republicans are beginning to turn against him, and how Democrats are preparing to unleash investigations into his administration. Plus, the explosive national security questions surrounding NVIDIA’s CEO and an alleged Chinese intelligence connection, Trump’s increasingly cozy relationship with Vladimir Putin, and the global consequences of a weakened White House. As Trump’s allies begin looking for the exits, the next two years could be his most turbulent yet.

He thinks "If you can't win an argument, just make lt illegal to have one"…..Turns out that ruling through fear, forced policy, and suppression, doesn't build much loyalty…..

JD Vance is not in or out. He is irrelevant. The next president will not be a Republican. Trump is like Nixon on steroids.

Joanna, are you serious, youâre questioning whether it was un-American for Trump to ignore the crisis at Nvidia! Are you actually serious or did you just emerge from a ten year long coma? Please tell me youâve been comatose, otherwise I will finally be certain of my assessment of you! If you need me to explain dear, I will respond thusly, what has Trump ever done that was pro-American? The answer is nothing, so he doesnât care if heâs seen as un-American thatâs always been his super power.

Jensen will remain as CEO. There is none in the world that can replace him. Trump will do something crazy and the affair-honey-trap will fade in the media.

Question: is Miller a junkie?
I've seen older clips of him with the same hooded rolling pinned eyes, swaying, but he looked really bad on his interview with Tapper. Looked like he had a monkey on his back and it was scratching, so…
My real question is, if I'm right, wouldn't that be the easiest way to get rid of him?
To use his addiction as the reason to out him?

Donald Trump doesn't have many others than Steven Miller now. Steven Miller is using Trump to maximize his own power struggle. It's a match made in hell.

NO ONE close to or associated with Donald Drumpf is NOT corrupt. Itâs a basic Bona Fide Occupational Qualification, so of course Susie Wiles has been involved deeply in corruption. She is involved in corruption RIGHT NOW in accepting a paid lesser role with the Drumpf Administration – a meaningless, fantasy role given to her in return for her silence.

S Miller Challenge: 1. Trump cannot hire anybody, not even the black Dana White who IS qualified. 2. Huang- NVIDIA This is the scandal that will break the White House! Rubio and Trump knew about Huang in '25. This will explode next week when Huang is before Congress. That will also expose Huang's influence on 47 and our relations with China. All bad as Trump and Xi meet on 11 17 26.
3. S Wiles and daughters MAHA influence scandal will bring down the other half of WH.
4. When T Blanche is impeached then everybody will be flushed at the same time. Same as Nixon, my money is August '26. Then we will expect JD to restore dignity to the presidency, until his Rockwell Network connections are exposed. Huang donated $25M for the Ballroom. It is no wonder Trump and Rubio let the country down.
It is so strange that all these corrupt Americans and American Oligarchs are almost all sons of immigrants or one generation removed: Huang, Bezos, Rubio, S Miller, Trump and E Musk.

It's always super informative and educating to hear Mr. Rothkopf. I look forward to it every week.
I have a question. Trump is still in charge of the football. Do you think that he'll use it? He seems to have fantasies of the annihilation of entire civilizations.
Stephen Miller? I think that his supply of viable blood will dry up and he'll decamp to Russia.

The man is a malignant narcissist so he chose the tool that would cause the greatest harm. He wants to harm a nation that he knows detests him. Those who âworshipâ him?⌠he uses them but they are not in a class that adds to him, he detests them. đ¤ˇđťââď¸

To be clear: not attempting to save those 2 shipwrecked survivors is a violation of international law. Ordering a followup strike on 2 defenseless enemy combatants to kill them is a war crime.

Miller's policies and procedures are reminiscent on the fascist policies of the genocidal regimes of the 20th century. Contrary to Trump esthetic policies for his regime, Miller has a creepy-sleazy vibe that doesn't fit. Trump firing a female chief of staff ant picks a paradigmatic sleaze like miller is no surprise

Trump chose Miller so he could strengthen ICE and punish his enemies. Miller will cause confrontations in Democratic cities with Democratic governors for the purpose of stoking fear, protest, and violence. Miller will try to increase executive power to allow martial law in some places.
Miller will try to direct attention from Iran by concentrating on destabilising Venezuela further and other Latin and Central American countries.
He will try, but he will fail because he's despised, even by those whom he has allied himself with in the past.
The more Miller tries to stop the leaks, the worse it will get for him.
