In the White House adviser’s view, violent rhetoric is allowed only when he and Trump are the ones spewing it.

Yesterday, Stephen Miller delivered a eulogy for Charlie Kirk that served as a battle cry for the Trump administration’s state-sponsored war on his perceived foes—a war for which Miller is the primary strategist. The speech was a jarring piece of rhetoric. It is a perfect encapsulation of the ethos of Trumpism, boiling away the president’s idiosyncratic habits of mixing insult comedy and weird digressions into his rhetoric and leaving, in Miller’s tongue, the residue of pure ideology and will to power.

Miller’s theme was that President Donald Trump’s side embodies pure good, his opponents pure evil, and the former is destined to utterly destroy the latter. Republicans have never stopped complaining that Hillary Clinton once described a portion of Trump’s base as “a basket of deplorables.” Yet over the weekend the president’s most powerful adviser depicted half the country as worthless, irredeemably wicked, and fated for destruction.

      That is beautiful, and that reporter handled that perfectly. He should hold workshops.

      Just so calmly “Why are you yelling?” Then “You don’t have numbers.”

      Way to not let that squealing asshole deflect and take control of the narrative. You ask your very reasonable question, and you simply refuse to engage with any of the bullshit he throws at you. He spent almost 5 mins trying to throw every talking point he could think of at that guy to get him off track rather than just answering the question.
