Very sad, such a young man.
I wonder what his boyfriend has to say?
He never said 'No!' to Trump either.

"A vital book for understanding the still-unfolding nightmare of
nationalism and racism in the 21st century." -Francisco Cantu, author
of The Line Becomes a River
Stephen Miller is one of the most influential advisors in the White
House. He has crafted Donald Trump's speeches, designed immigration
policies that ban Muslims and separate families, and outlasted such
Trump stalwarts as Steve Bannon and Jeff Sessions. But he's remained an
enigma.
Until now. Emmy- and PEN-winning investigative journalist and author
Jean Guerrero charts the thirty-four-year-old's astonishing rise to
power, drawing from more than one hundred interviews with his family,
friends, adversaries and government officials.
Radicalized as a teenager, Miller relished provocation at his high
school in liberal Santa Monica, California. He clashed with
administrators and antagonized dark-skinned classmates with invectives
against bilingualism and multiculturalism. At Duke University, he
cloaked racist and classist ideas in the language of patriotism and
heritage to get them airtime amid controversies. On Capitol Hill, he
served Tea Party congresswoman Michele Bachmann and nativist Alabama
Senator Jeff Sessions.
Recruited to Trump's campaign, Miller met his idol. Having dreamed of
Trump's presidency before he even announced his decision to run, Miller
became his senior policy advisor and speechwriter. Together, they
stoked dystopian fears about the Democrats, "Deep State" and "American Carnage," painting migrants and their supporters as an existential
threat to America. Through backroom machinations and sheer force of
will, Miller survived dozens of resignations and encouraged Trump's
harshest impulses, in conflict with the president's own family. While
Trump railed against illegal immigration, Miller crusaded against legal immigration. He targeted refugees, asylum seekers and their children, engineering an ethical crisis for a nation that once saw itself as the conscience of the world. Miller rallied support for this agenda, even
as federal judges tried to stop it, by courting the white rage that
found violent expression in tragedies from El Paso to Charlottesville.
Hatemonger unveils the man driving some of the most divisive
confrontations over what it means to be American--and what America will
become.
