We have reporting in the book that he wanted to be national security advisor to succeed Mike Waltz.
Many people in there believe that he has designs on the chief of staff role eventually.
Trump values him because he gets things done.
And he also talks to Trump in a way that instills a lot of confidence.
You know,
Yes, sir, we can do it.
And don't worry, we'll bulldoze through anything.
We have a lot of reporting in the book about these phone calls that Stephen Miller would have inside the government, which became sort of legendary.
He would berate these staffers at DHS and ICE and the agencies and basically threatened to fire them if they didn't pick up the deportation pace.
He just drives them relentlessly.
So I think he's got a big future in the Republican Party almost no matter what happens, because he sort of made himself indispensable as someone who has real experience in the executive branch, knows how to get things done and has lots of relationships across the party.
One of the key relationships, just to add to what Jonathan just said, and I don't think you said this, but I apologize, there was a siren outside, was Elon Musk in these off years.
He developed a very close relationship with Musk, was advising him on political donations.
That is a relationship that, as far as we know, continues and will be quite useful and durable for him going forward.
Speaking of other close friendships, Zoran Mamdani has been to the White House now twice to visit Trump.
It kind of shocked the world how much of a bromance it seemed that they now have.
What was the reaction from the rest of the administration from such a positive experience?
You know, the DSA now is a national topic and Trump is calling them bros.
these crazy communists, but he still has nice words for, for Zoran.
Tell us a little bit about, uh, those Zoran trips to the white house.
