Stephen Miller Driving Congressional Aides Crazy With Calls [View all]
Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is so involved in every aspect of the Trump administration’s efforts to radically reconfigure American democracy that congressional aides have reportedly begun complaining about his incessant phone calls.
Ignoring the fact that his “outreach wasn’t always welcome,” Miller would call congressional aides for lengthy, aimless conversations about illegal immigration that contained no specific requests, according to a damning new Wall Street Journal report.
One aide likened Miller to a “grandmother who wouldn’t stop talking,” and compared his phone calls to podcasts. Other aides said that Miller would call to scold them about how they had worded something in a press release or framed an issue in a social media post.
The phone calls are just one example of the ways Miller has maneuvered himself into a position where he can micromanage almost every aspect of the Trump presidency.
This is despite Trump previously declining to promote Miller to a leadership role at the Department of Homeland Security during his first term, telling aides that he felt Miller “wasn’t leadership material.”

Talk about your "nattering nabobs of negativism"! I'd literally blow a whistle in his ear and slam the phone down!
