WASHINGTON DC: President Donald Trump’s new chief of staff, Stephen Miller, has denied he is doubling down on his hardline Make American Great Again (MAGA) agenda despite it being rejected by voters at the recent mid-term elections.
Mr Miller has drawn criticism for his role advocating President Trump’s racist and draconian immigration policies including family separation and shock raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
He has also been instrumental in sacking public servants deemed not loyal enough to the MAGA agenda.
But he told members of the White House press pool that he was simply misunderstood.
“Left-wing communist critics will always attack me as an extremist and as a racist,” Mr Miller said. “But that definitely is not the whole story.
“As an example, take the very first policy step I have taken as chief of staff. It totally disproves the claim I am on a permanent race and culture war.”
Mr Miller said his first initiative as chief of staff was “a sensible change to retailing regulations” that would boost the US business sector while supporting American households.
“I have for many years believed that the so-called Black Friday sales help American families by allowing them to buy goods at cheaper prices,” he said.
“The savings they make can be put to work offsetting the astronomically high cost of living which as we all know is a direct result of Joe Biden’s policies, even Obama’s too.
“I want to make life even easier for American families which is why I am drafting an executive order for President Trump to sign declaring the first Friday of each month as Friday blacks sales. (main picture)
“I see it as giving average Americans the opportunity of buying extra household help which in return will create millions of new jobs, albeit extremely low paid or unpaid ones, but lifelong ones nonetheless.”
Mr Miller paused his news conference to signal to heavily armed ICE agents standing around the walls of the West Wing media room to forcibly remove reporters of colour and seize and destroy their accreditation before frogmarching them to waiting vans to be flown out of the USA.
“Some people obviously haven’t understood my second initiative as chief of staff – namely dropping the word ‘House’ from the term White House press pool,” Mr Miller said while his face contorted into what some present suggested may have been a smile but which others described more as him baring his teeth.
