Summary

A heated CNN interview saw Trump adviser Stephen Miller lose his composure while defending government job cuts and Elon Musk’s role in DOGE.

Host Brianna Keilar pressed Miller on the chaotic termination and reinstatement of 300 nuclear agency employees, leading him to angrily demand why she wasn’t “celebrating” government cuts.

Keilar urged him to “calm down.”

The White House later claimed that Musk is not an employee or administrator of DOGE but serves only as a senior adviser to Trump.

      Unfortunately no, fascism has no bottom because its existence relies on digging. If they stop radically altering things then their populist facade would collapse. This is why they need new enemies every month and their rhetoric has to get more extreme every time they talk. Miller has always been the most extreme person in both admins though, so you can safely assume that he’s where they will be in about a month.

      All the CEO’s and consulting firms know that it’s standard practice to fire your highly experienced and highly paid workforce and hire undergrads at 1/3rd the cost to save money. That is this lunatic’s mind set of how to run this country. It surely couldn’t backfire could it? /s
