Trump's chief of staff is a loyalist nicknamed 'Prime Minister'... U.S. First Shares My Way (Comprehensive)

U.S. President Donald Trump's selection of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller (41) as chief of staff three days after his defeat in the midterm elections is seen as a clear move of 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 response 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 Democratic Party leadership immediately blasted this appointment as “the worst choice” and predicted a congressional investigation into the new chief of staff, Miller. He also made it clear that he would fight against the administration's policies promoted with the involvement of new Chief of Staff Miller.

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.

It is reported that even in the ruling party, there is concern about this appointment. The Washington Post (WP), citing people close to the White House, said that the appointment was insensitive to public opinion and that “people were panicking.”

CNN also reported that many members of the administration are taking this appointment as a shock, and that a White House official said, "Wiles makes sure everything runs smoothly. I don't know what the future will hold."

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 is also an ardent supporter of tariff policy. When the US Federal Court of International Trade issued a ruling against the Trump administration's tariffs in May 2025, it was fiercely criticized as a 'judicial coup'.

The new Chief of Staff Miller, who has been nicknamed 'Prime Minister' by his associates as he exercised enormous authority with President Trump's full confidence, has been at the White House as a senior advisor since the first administration. He did not leave President Trump's side even after his defeat in the 2020 presidential election. He was one of the close aides selected as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff during the second administration, and together with his wife Katie Miller, whom he met at the White House, they were called the power couple of Washington politics.

Attention is being paid to whether President Trump, who dismissed Director Wiles, who was a major contributor to the victory in the 2024 presidential election, and appointed new Director 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.
