With Stephen Miller at the helm, Trump charts a course for conflict
Trump's decision to elevate loyalist Miller to run his White House indicates that he plans to ramp up confrontation in his final two years in office.
Donald Trump's decision to appoint loyalist Stephen Miller as the White House chief of staff suggests his intention to increase conflict during his final two years in office, according to Trump administration officials and Republican sources.
