'Say no to drugs': Stephen Miller heaped with scorn for pious Trump praise
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Online critics slammed top White House aide Stephen Miller after he implied President Donald Trump's second term was an act of God. Miller praised the Trump presidency in a Saturday post on X. "It is impossible to review the events of the last decade and conclude that it is anything other than divine providence that Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States on the year of America 250, July 4th, 2026," he wrote.Not everyone responding to Miller's post saw the Trump presidency the same way.Veteran political columnist Bill Kristol reacted by writing, "Stephen Miller, for some reason trying to give divine providence a bad name."The account PatriotTakes, which monitors right-wing extremism, responded, "Trump is a religion for MAGA.""Easy to dismiss this as the delusional fevered rantings of a diseased mind," wrote former GOP strategist Jeff Timmer. "But the disease is rampant at the epicenter of the most powerful government ever known on the planet. We should be far more alarmed than we are. Far more."Tom Nichols, another long-time political commentator and staff writer for The Atlantic, reacted to Miller's post with an Abraham Lincoln quote and a Bible passage."The Almighty has His own purposes," he wrote. 'Woe unto the world because of offenses for it must needs be that offenses come but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.'"Meanwhile, journalist John Harwood simply advised, "Just say no to drugs."
