Stephen Miller is the lead architect of Trump's insanity.

As the man in the Oval Office, it is Trump who has absorbed the accusations of authoritarianism for usurping the powers of Californias government after deploying 4,000 national guard troops and 700 active marines on to the streets of a city that is home to more undocumented immigrants than any other in the US.
Behind the scenes, however, this has been the apogee of Millers power and an episode that illuminated his power in a White House where his influence far outstrips his misleadingly modest title of deputy chief of staff.
As the long-term architect of Trumps years-long effort to reinvent US immigration policy, he has pressed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents to intensify efforts to arrest migrants as deportation figures fell far short of pre-election promises.
At a meeting at Ices Washington headquarters last month, Miller ordered them to skip the usual practice of compiling lists of suspected illegal migrants and instead target Home Depot, where day laborers gather for short-term hire, and 7-Eleven stores, to carry out mass arrests, the Wall Street Journal reported.

And, I don't think he has ever been in a right mind to lose. He has always and will always be a moron.
