🇺🇸 The Trump administration moved to the right after losing the election, apparently trying to re-engage the voters who didn't turn out this week. Trump appointed Stephen Miller, one of the main ideologues of the US's anti-immigration policy, as White House chief of staff.
On Truth Social, the American president wrote that starting Monday, one of his "faithful allies" and current domestic policy adviser, Stephen Miller, will become White House chief of staff.
In this role, he will replace Susie Wills, who is moving to work in Trump's political establishment. Wills returned to the White House only in September - in the previous six months she underwent treatment for breast cancer.
Miller is a supporter of far-right politics in the United States. Even as a youth, he began giving provocative speeches: at the age of 16, he called into conservative journalist Larry Elder's program to talk about the "lack of patriotism" at his school, and later wrote an essay about it.
After university, Miller became a protégé of right-wing activist David Horowitz, and by 2016 he had joined Trump's team, and later became his adviser.
During Trump's first term, Miller was his speechwriter and policy advisor: he was one of the designers of immigration reform and proposed building another wall between the US and Mexico.
US media reported that he was behind the firing of FBI Director James Comey and Secretary of Homeland Security Kirsten Nielsen in order to tighten the country's immigration policy.
According to the New York Times, at the beginning of the Corona epidemic, he also offered to seal the border with Mexico with the help of soldiers. The plan was later abandoned because it would have required the deployment of nearly half of all U.S. armed forces.
