Trump has brutal two-word nickname for Stephen Miller, report claims (Weird Stephen)

Trump has brutal two-word nickname for Stephen Miller, report claims (The Independent)

President Donald Trump famously has a penchant for making up nicknames to mock his enemies.

There’s Crooked Hillary, Sleepy Joe, Lyin’ Ted Cruz, and Little Marco Rubio.

There’s now another to add to the list: “Weird Stephen.” The epithet has been applied to the deputy chief of staff for policy, Stephen Miller, according to biographer Michael Wolff.

“There is an awareness that Stephen Miller is a problem,” Wolf said on The Daily Beast podcast. “And even Trump calls him ‘Weird Stephen.’ Because he is weird, by the way. I mean, you can’t spend a moment with him and not say, ‘Oh, something’s off here.’”

Trump Doesn’t Like Stephen Miller Any More Than the Rest of Us (The New Republic)

You’ve heard Crooked Hillary, Sleepy Joe, and Laughing Kamala, but now get ready for … Weird Stephen.

“There is an awareness that Stephen Miller is a problem,” Wolff explained. “And even Trump calls him ‘Weird Stephen.’ Because he is weird, by the way. I mean, you can’t spend a moment with him and not say, ‘Oh, something’s off here.’”

“He doesn’t make eye contact. And then he talks to you in this monotone voice, and it feels very revvy, you know, the engine of his voice keeps going, and you kind of step back,” Wolff said.

Miller has made several off-putting appearances on television to defend the president’s lawless immigration agenda, attacking habeas corpus and birthright citizenship. Miller often goes off the rails during these interviews, unable to keep his cool and getting more agitated the longer he speaks.

He represents the very core of the cult thought that Trump is tailgating.

Having pissed off Leonard Leo, and Miller, he is pissing on the cult that "made him".

He is unwise to attack the people he hired, and who have access to damn near everything.

Miller only LOOKS weird. He looks like Fredo Corleone.
Beware.

when they talk about his immigration policy so he is trying to distance himself from Miller. This piece of idiotic news was absolutely put out by Susie Wiles at Trump's request. Promoting it is doing Trump's work for him.

Trump’s gut is telling Trump, Miller and Vought are making Trump look bad… Er, worser.

Long overdue to be cut loose in Trump’s 1980’s off-load-all-the-debt-into-a-division-and-spin-it-off-as-an-IPO business model. Miller in particular, having been there since the First Imposition.

Will they leave?

Probably, not. They don’t work for Trump. They work for someone even worse.

many psychopaths have charism. some don't. miller doesn't. charism acts as "cover" for all the basic character flaws inherent to a full blown psychopath.

miller lacks charism.

so what you are left with is the unvarnished him.

many people who unknowingly bump into psychopaths that lack charism often describe them as: weird, awkward, creepy, a bit off, just not right, something going on, etc.

don't get me wrong, there are people out there that are described like this that aren't psychopaths, but with psychopaths, there is always an extra unexplainable element that one can't quite put their finger on.
