Emma Shortis

Emma Shortis, a historian and adjunct senior fellow at RMIT University, explores the significant yet unseen role of Stephen Miller as an architect of Donald Trump's power. She reveals how Miller's loyalty and communication skills helped shape hardline immigration policies. Shortis compares him to historical figures like Karl Rove and highlights his incendiary rhetoric. The conversation delves into the essential traits of unelected architects who enable autocrats, asking whether Trump could've consolidated power without Miller's influence.
