Trump White House Deputy Chief of Staff for policy and Homeland Security Stephen Miller wins Freak of the Week because his creepy fingerprints are all over the most shocking recent activities of the Trump administration.

Miller was one of the architects of the family separations and caged kids at the border in Trump 1 that shocked Americans. Now he is empowered again to help erase Spanish speaking migrants from the streets and fields of America without due process.

He clearly takes smirking delight in the choreographed spectacle of extrajudicial deportations of men never accused of crimes to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Miller seems to have been born immune to the suffering of the less fortunate – or the less “American.” His own family, descendants of Jewish immigrants who fled European persecution and arrived here not speaking English, have disowned him. If he hadn’t crossed paths with Trump, Miller would probably be just a corporate law firm drone whose colleagues thought of him as the office crank and avoided him.

His combination of lifelong nativism, powerful position in an authoritarian regime, and his uncanny ability to intuit Trump’s worst urges and facilitate them into cruel policy makes him perhaps the FREAKIEST and most malignant member of the second administration’s chamber of horrors…

You can watch the video HERE, and make sure you’re subscribed to my newsletter, American Freakshow, to help you keep your eyes on the facts and remember where we started and how we got here.

I've always thought he looks like a dead-eyed serial killer. Or the reincarnation of Hitler.
