5 takeaways on Stephen Miller: Trumps Right Hand Man
Stephen Miller is a 35 year old man from Santa Monica, CA who is one of President Trumps top advisors on domestic policy, most notably focusing on immigration. He also has the Coronavirus.
Born into a privileged family in Southern California he received the best education his family and their American Dream could provide (Santa Monica High School followed by Duke University). During his high school years Stephen decided to play the rebellious teen and due to his intelligence and ability to find the acceptance he was most likely looking for, he never grew out of that role and continued to push further down the rabbit hole that embraced him.
In his short and illustrious career Stephen has had his fair share of interesting moments that leave one to wonder what this fear and anger were born from.
His High School Years Were Odd
- While campaigning for a student gov’t post he said in front of his fellow students, “Am I the only one, who is sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us?” He was eventually forced off stage
- He called up a friend in 9th grade to end the friendship with a litany of reasons with the main point being the other students ‘Latino heritage’
- He jumped in at the end of a girls high school track race to prove the superior athletic ability of the male gender (no reports if he actually finished in front of anyone)
He would’ve never been born if his immigration plan was in place 100 years ago
His mothers parents (Wolf and Bessie) arrived in New York City from modern day Belarus in Jan. 1903 just months before the Anti-Jewish Pogroms in The Russian Empire began. Leaving Jewish families the choice to either defend their homes or renounce their faith. Had Wolf and Bessie not been able to escape such persecution and find sanctuary in the US, Stephen may have never had the ability to walk the shores of Santa Monica as a youth.
