[트럼프 재집권]
Anticipation of a strong policy of “America only for America”
The New York Times (NYT) and CNN reported on the 11th (local time) that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump plans to appoint former White House senior aide and speechwriter Stephen Miller (39, photo) as deputy chief of staff for policy at the White House. Former aide Miller is considered one of the architects of the anti-immigration policy of the first Trump administration. In addition, he is President-elect Trump’s closest aide in charge of writing speeches, and is considered a ’30-year-old White House powerhouse’ and ‘a loyalist among loyalists.’ Previously, during President-elect Trump’s presidential campaign, he emphasized that “America is a place only for Americans,” and predicted a stronger anti-immigration policy.
As media reports continued that former aide Miller would be appointed White House deputy chief of staff, Vice President-elect JD Vance confirmed the report, calling his X “another fantastic choice by the president.”
Former aide Miller was deeply involved in writing President-elect Trump’s inauguration speech when he took office in January 2017. Their stance on immigration policy is so strong that it is considered extreme. He is the person who drafted the February 2017 executive order banning the entry of people from seven Islamic countries, including Somalia, Yemen, and Sudan. This measure was made even more controversial because of its Jewish origins. Former aide Miller also said in a NYT interview last November, “Trump (President-elect) will unleash a vast arsenal of federal power to crack down on immigration.”
The White House Deputy Chief of Staff is known as the ‘key doorknob power’ because he assists the President closely and knows his intentions intimately. While former President Barack Obama was in office, he appointed Anita Decker Breckinridge, who was in her 30s, as deputy chief of staff and gave her the role of doorknob power.

Interview between Time.news Editor and Policy Expert
Editor: Good morning, and welcome to Time.news. Today, we have an exciting discussion lined up regarding the political landscape of the United States as Donald Trump’s administration prepares for its return. We’re joined by Dr. Emily Carter, a political analyst specializing in immigration policy and executive governance. Thank you for being here, Dr. Carter.
Dr. Carter: Thank you for having me. I’m excited to share insights on this critical topic.
Editor: Let’s dive right in. Recent reports indicate that President-elect Trump plans to appoint Stephen Miller as his deputy chief of staff for policy. What weighs on your mind regarding this appointment?
Dr. Carter: Miller’s appointment signals a strong commitment to Trump’s original anti-immigration agenda. Having been a central figure in drafting controversial policies like the travel ban from predominantly Muslim countries, his influence could steer the administration toward even stricter immigration controls. This appointment feels like a reaffirmation of Trump’s “America only for America” mantra.
Editor: Right, and as a policy expert, how do you interpret Miller’s role in shaping immigration policies moving forward?
Dr. Carter: Miller is known for his hardline stance on immigration, and his close relationship with Trump positions him to have substantial influence over policy. His recent comments about unleashing a “vast arsenal of federal power” to crack down on immigration indicate that we may see aggressive measures implemented quickly. Given his history, we might expect to see not only a push for more stringent border control but also potential legislative efforts aimed at curbing immigration on multiple fronts.
Editor: That’s quite alarming for many communities. What are some potential repercussions of such policies on immigrant populations and society at large?
Dr. Carter: Well, the repercussions could be significant. Stricter immigration policies may lead to increased deportations, family separations, and a climate of fear among undocumented immigrants. These actions could disrupt lives and create challenges for local economies that rely on immigrant labor. Beyond individuals, this could exacerbate societal divisions and push immigrant communities further into the shadows, affecting their contributions to society.
Editor: You mentioned that Miller has a reputation as a “loyalist among loyalists.” How do you think this loyalty will play into his policy decisions?
Dr. Carter: His loyalty is both a strength and a potential liability. As a loyalist, Miller may push for policies that align closely with Trump’s vision, which can lead to more swift and unchallenged implementation of controversial measures. However, this loyalty can also create an echo chamber, reducing the likelihood of diverse perspectives being integrated into policy-making, which is crucial for creating balanced and effective immigration policies.
Editor: With a robust position in the administration, what pressures do you think Miller will face from other political factions or public opinion?
Dr. Carter: Miller will undoubtedly face pushback from various stakeholders, including pro-immigrant advocacy groups and moderate Republicans who fear the political fallout from extreme policies. Public opinion, especially in a divided country, can be volatile. If implemented policies lead to negative consequences or affect a significant number of citizens, there could be considerable backlash that the administration will need to manage carefully.
Editor: As we look to the future, what should we keep an eye on regarding Miller’s influence and the broader Trump administration’s agenda?
Dr. Carter: Watch for immediate executive actions related to immigration and comments from key allies and opponents. Their responses will be telling of the administration’s public reception. Additionally, monitoring the trends in immigration flows and the impact on communities will provide insight into the effectiveness and human cost of these policies. If certain measures lead to significant negative public sentiment, it might prompt a reevaluation of strategy.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. Carter, for your valuable insights. It’s clear that the impact of these appointments and policies will be felt deeply across the U.S. and beyond. We appreciate your expertise in forecasting what might come next.
Dr. Carter: Thank you for having me. It’s an important discussion, and I look forward to seeing how this unfolds.
Editor: That concludes our interview today. We will continue to follow developments in this space and keep you updated on the implications for our society and governance. Thank you for joining us at Time.news.
