Born That Way

The showrunners are giving us the backstory of Trump henchman and white nationalist douche Stephen Miller, and once again it’s rather too on-the-nose:
Stephen Miller had their attention. That was reason enough to keep going.
Standing behind the microphone before a hostile amphitheater crowd, Mr. Miller — then a 16-year-old candidate for a student government post, now a 32-year-old senior policy adviser to President Trump — steered quickly into an unlikely campaign plank: ensuring that the janitorial staff was really earning its money.
“Am I the only one,” he asked, “who is sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us?”

“He mentioned my Latino heritage as one of the reasons,” Mr. Islas said. “I remember coming away from the conversation being like, ‘O.K., that’s that.’”
Like a brand X Neil Gorusch, he’s apparently had both the rancid politics and self-impressed dickishness that define Trumpism perfected for a long time…
