Top Trump policy adviser was a 'controversial figure' for college writings
https://www.theguardian.com ^ | April 16, 2016 | Scott Bixby

In recent weeks, after a series of failures to pick up delegates and embarrassing distractions arising from the behavior of his top campaign aide, Donald Trump has attempted to restructure his senior campaign team.

But Trump's senior policy adviser, Stephen Miller, may be bringing his own baggage to Trump Tower, in the form of more than two dozen columns he wrote for his college newspaper a decade ago.

Miller, who attended Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, has been a member of the billionaire Republican frontrunner's team since January, when he left the office of Alabama senator Jeff Sessions to serve as Trump's No1 adviser on foreign and domestic policy.

Most of his work has been behind the scenes, although he gained notoriety in March when he laughingly told CNN Trump's retweet of an unflattering photograph of Heidi Cruz, wife of opponent Senator Ted Cruz, "speaks for itself".

Trump's senior policy adviser appears not to have changed much since his days at Duke.

His columns for The Chronicle range in subject from multiculturalism (which he calls "segregation"); to paid family leave (which results in men "getting laid off because [their] boss was losing too much money by paying absent employees"); to the Duke lacrosse scandal ("a large number of people - instead of rejoicing at our peers' innocence - will insist it is a conspiracy of white privilege").

The columns offer a revealing glimpse into the opinions and ideology of Trump's top policy adviser, and the sort of advice the presidential hopeful might be getting.

Here goes the media! Don’t let them do it anymore! Let’s see some articles on Hillary’s “top policy advisers.”

If this is all they’ve got, Mrs. Trump needs to go drapery shopping.

I was not aware Hillary had released her college thesis on Alinski.

Isn't it great with all this investigative background information - just like they did when they published Obama’s and Hillary's college essays....

Sounds like a bad deal for the LSM.

They better locate their flak jackets and sit on it.

It’s from the commie Guardian. It’s actually praise, if you read it in that light.

Yes, very controversial......

....“Shows like Queer As Folk, The L Word, Will & Grace and Sex and the City all do their part to promote alternative lifestyles and erode traditional values,” Miller writes.

In a jeremiad against political correctness redolent of his future employer, Miller writes that “politically correct dictates are anathema to American values”.

He continues: “Inside our borders, the nation of e pluribus unum [out of many, one] threatens to be fractured across ethnic lines by racial animus and divisive multiculturalism. We suffer from sagging patriotism, growing malaise and a loss of faith in the noble history and principles that have made us great.”

At a campaign event on 3 April, he said that Cruz, Trump’s main opponent for the nomination, was an “Obama ally” who supported a “policy of mass migration”.


I see they left out the part about how he pulled braids, in kindergarten.

damn these scumbags let’s see them go after HILLARY’s college thesis before they start talking about college writings of a Trump advisor.....

Hillary the worshipper of radical fanatic Alinsky, also Obama’s idol:

This is beyond ironic. Hillary herself wrote her college thesis on SAUL ALINSKY. Birds of a feather...

Miller seems infinitely more sensible than anyone in Hillary's camp, and certainly more intelligent than any snide leftist "journalists" at al-Guardian:

"In a jeremiad against political correctness redolent of his future employer, Miller writes that “politically correct dictates are anathema to American values”.

He continues: “Inside our borders, the nation of e pluribus unum [out of many, one] threatens to be fractured across ethnic lines by racial animus and divisive multiculturalism. We suffer from sagging patriotism, growing malaise and a loss of faith in the noble history and principles that have made us great.”

The MSM bastards can scour the college writings of mere “advisors” on the Trump side while they let actual candidates ala Obama and now Hillary slide by without scrutiny. The hypocrisy of double-standards here is breathtaking.

I didn’t download the article. From what is stated, it seems like Mr. Miller was an original thinker who made sense of things, since college.
