A former Trump aide has pulled back the curtain on how Stephen Miller enforces President Donald Trump’s agenda behind the scenes.

Miles Taylor, the Homeland Security official who wrote as Anonymous for The New York Times in September 2018 saying he was part of a “quiet resistance” under Trump 1.0, described how working with Miller required taking late-night phone calls and dealing with his surprise appearances during meetings.

Miller, 41, served as a senior adviser to the president and White House director of speechwriting under the first Trump administration. Just last week, he was promoted to the plum role of White House chief of staff after Trump announced that Susie Wiles was headed for the exit.

“It sounds like if you’re in the job that I was in, late-night phone calls every single weeknight to the point that your spouse starts asking you questions,” Taylor told The News Agents podcast.

Taylor described Miller as a “ferocious micromanager” who gets deeply involved down to the smallest government offices, “because he knows that’s how you get things done in Washington.”

“That’s something that made Stephen very formidable and very effective, is that he understands the government bureaucracy and he is willing to jump down into meetings where they would never expect him,” he recalled.

“Think about the most junior staff at the most remote office in government. Stephen was the type of person that would surprise them on their morning phone call and show up and say, ‘This is Stephen Miller at the White House.’”

Insiders previously revealed to The Atlantic that Miller would run their daily conferences like a “wartime general,” yelling at those he believed weren’t pushing his hardline immigration agenda hard enough.

But Taylor said it’s Miller’s unwavering loyalty to Trump that makes him indispensable to the president—and dangerous to the rest of the country.
