Trump's new chief of staff is a hard-line 'America First' loyalist... My Way Notice

U.S. President Donald Trump's selection of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller as chief of staff three days after his defeat in the midterm elections is seen as a clear move to confirm his will to stick to 'My Way' despite the crushing defeat in the midterm elections.

By appointing the 'architect of hard-line immigration policy' and a close associate who has shown imperialist views on foreign policy as 'highest security guard', it is interpreted that he has declared his intention to take an offensive response against the Democratic Party, which has taken over power in the Senate and House of Representatives, without letting go of key policies that have been judged by the public.

Deputy Chief of Staff Miller, who was announced by President Trump as the new White House Chief of Staff on the 6th (local time), is called the architect of the Trump administration's signature policy, hard-line immigration crackdown.

The hard-line immigration policy, which included mass arrests of undocumented immigrants and deportation of refugees while sharply raising the threshold for entry into the United States, received enthusiastic support from President Trump's core supporters.

However, President Trump's immigration policy served as one of the main factors in the crushing defeat in the midterm elections, as U.S. citizens lost their lives one after another during the intense crackdown and inflicted a heavy economic blow on those who run small businesses and farms.

Nevertheless, it is analyzed that the promotion of Deputy Chief of Staff Miller to White House Chief of Staff was intended to counter the Democratic Party's offensive thanks to its landslide election victory.

As he maintains that the Trump administration's representative policies were justified and is willing to risk conflict with the Democratic Party, great confusion is expected in U.S. domestic politics for the time being.

The new director, Miller, is someone who has pushed progressive ideology toward communism and has taken the lead in eradicating leftists, including abolishing diversity policies, so the room for cooperation between the administration and the Democratic Party is bound to narrow further.

The new director, Miller, is a believer in the 'America First' policy, which has shown a view close to imperialism in foreign policy. In some respects, it has supported President Trump's unilateralism by maintaining a hard-line stance that goes beyond that of President Trump.

A representative example is the statement made by new Chief of Staff Miller when President Trump shocked the international community by revealing his intention to seize Greenland.

At the time, he said in an interview with CNN, "The world we live in is a world ruled by force, force, and power," and "This is an immutable law that has been passed down since the beginning."

In a public interview, the imperialist view of putting the interests of the United States, the hegemony, first and not being bound by international laws and norms was explicitly revealed.

For this reason, the appointment of new Chief of Staff Miller may be a factor in amplifying concerns that President Trump may run wild in foreign policy after his crushing defeat in the midterm elections.

New Chief of Staff Miller has been busy trying to take over the position of Chief of Staff, which has been held by his 'supervisor' Suzy Wiles since the defeat in the Republican Party was deepening ahead of the midterm elections.

The New York Times reported that new Chief of Staff Miller persuaded President Trump that he was the right person for Chief of Staff and emphasized the need to end the war with Iran.

The specific direction he put forward for ending the Iran war is unknown, but with the appointment of new Chief of Staff Miller, the possibility of the Trump administration moving in the direction of ending the war seems to have increased slightly.

New Director Miller has served in the White House as a senior advisor since the first administration. Even after President Trump's defeat in the 2020 presidential election, he did not leave his side and is one of his closest aides who was selected as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff during the second administration.

Attention is being paid to whether President Trump, who kicked out Chief Wiles, who was a major contributor to the victory in the 2024 presidential election, and appointed new Chief Miller, will also begin to reorganize the Cabinet.

With Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth becoming the Democratic Party's top target, President Trump is drawing a line by publicly saying he has no intention of replacing him, but it is expected that he may seek to reorganize his battle lines by replacing the Chief of Staff and some Cabinet members.
