Stephen Miller may have just accidentally confirmed that he, not President Donald Trump, is the one calling the shots in regard to deportation raids and National Guard deployments.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN on Monday. “Why would the mere presence—just think about this for a second. If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

The solution to Stevie Miller is easy. Go on Truth Social, start talking about President Stephen Miller, and watching Trumpie melt down.

It's the samething that happened with Muskie.

No, you will just see some of those LE and NG shot... There is a reason they aren't going into the south or suburbs yet.
