Trump Throws Stephen Miller Under the Bus in Surprise Show of Panic

By Greg Sargent

Has Donald Trump finally figured out that Stephen Miller’s fascist cruelties have become a niggling political liability for him? Well, maybe. A striking report in The Wall Street Journal suggests Trump may be moving to marginalize Miller’s influence. But Trump appears to think the difficulty can be cured by a few optical tweaks, when the real culprit is a deeper ideological one.

Trump wants to "lower the profile of his mass deportation effort," the Journal reveals. He wants voters to think the targets of these deportations are "bad guys," not noncriminal undocumented residents. He wants less visibility for ICE raids in cities, fewer public confrontations with local officials, and less public talk about "mass deportations," which, he now grasps, are hideously unpopular.
