In 1932, a judge rejected Nison Miller’s US citizenship application on the grounds that he was ignorant. A few generations later, Nison’s great grandson, Stephen, would complain about a Latina housekeeper dropping him off at middle school in her cheap car. It made him “look poor,” Miller told his friend Jason Islas.

Soon after, Miller told Islas they couldn’t be friends anymore. Miller explained the decision by attacking Islas’ height, bad skin, lack of confidence, and Mexican American heritage. “What he targeted was, looking back, an impressive feat of understanding what I didn’t like about myself,” Islas told Jean Guerrero, an investigative journalist who recently worked as a border reporter for KPBS in San Diego, two hours south of where Miller grew up. “It was the opposite of empathy.”

Hatemonger, Guerrero’s new biography of Miller, portrays the adolescent Stephen as a racist and retrograde troll determined to entertain and offend in pursuit of the spotlight. He boasted about saying things that “no one else in their right mind would,” demanded that Latino classmates “speak English,” encouraged students to litter because that’s what janitors were for, and considered himself classy all the while. It should be no surprise that Miller would later see a kindred spirit in Donald Trump.

After serving as a speechwriter and campaign warm-up act for Trump, Miller is now a senior White House policy adviser. Miller is the closest aid to Trump who isn’t family, and he uses that power to exert almost complete control over the president’s immigration agenda. James Nealon, a former ambassador to Honduras, told Guerrero, “He is by far the most successful bureaucrat that I’ve ever experienced.”

1. Arrogant, selfish, entitled and evil dick.

Unfortunately, I think he'll be one of only a few out of this administration who will prosper once it's over. Probably get a high paying gig on Fox.

But I'm hoping he falls flat on his face and be unable to get up.

3. Stephen Miller is the Tin Man, in need of a heart

Who was so self conscious because he didn’t fit in with the cool kids and blamed his nanny.
Kushner is the scarecrow, desperately in need of a brain and due to the lack of a brain he relies on the heartless TinMan.
The cowardly lion, Trump, all bark and no bite, blindly guided by the brainless and heartless advisors exaggerates all aspects of character that he desires to have but has no knowledge on how to actually obtain it.

Bill Barr- the man behind the curtain, manipulating the actions of the others.

4. Miller is a Nazi.

He would have first supported Hitler and then after the gestapo arrested him and shipped him to Auschwitz, he would have become a Kapo. And a cruel one at that.

I realize that sounds harsh, but I believe it to be true. He enjoys the cruelty.
