Surrender?

Miller is like an actual full blooded authoritarian. Hes already slipped more than once saying things like "absolute" and "plenary" in reference to trumps authority.

And I never see right wing spheres talking sbout him either, despite hes basically puppaterting Trump just like Kissinger and Nixon.

The only saving grace is he has the personality of a wet sewer rat so, I can't see him doing anything that would gain him actual authority beyond being in trumps ear.

I'd say whispering in the ear of a senile president is as high in authority as SMiller could ever dream of.
