Donald Trump’s new White House Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, said the Republican Party is “more popular than ever,” just days after voters handed Democrats control of the House and Senate the midterm elections.

Miller said in his speech that it was “the privilege of a lifetime to join President Trump,” before adding: “If it wasn’t for President Trump, the United States of America would not exist right now.”

“This man saved America,” Miller said. “He saved our military from collapse, he saved our economy from destruction, he saved our border from annihilation and he saved our country from threats at home and abroad which would have been the end of the American dream forever.”

    My point, though, is that this job works best if it is done under the radar. A Chief of Staff has no authority at all unless the President gives it to them to make decisions on his behalf. So the job needs to be out of public view, otherwise people will question who is actually making the decisions.

      I mean, no one is going to point to Donnie as an example of great leadership.

      I just thought that the political geeks here [like myself] might enjoy knowing about a good book.

          He knows it’s BS, but he runs a simple algorithm of “whatever gets us closer to being the Fourth Reich”.
