Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is so involved in every aspect of the Trump administration’s efforts to radically reconfigure American democracy that congressional aides have reportedly begun complaining about his incessant phone calls.

Ignoring the fact that his “outreach wasn’t always welcome,” Miller would call congressional aides for lengthy, aimless conversations about illegal immigration that contained no specific requests, according to a damning new Wall Street Journal report.

One aide likened Miller to a “grandmother who wouldn’t stop talking,” and compared his phone calls to podcasts. Other aides said that Miller would call to scold them about how they had worded something in a press release or framed an issue in a social media post.

    Another aid said, “I’ve had one single call from Stephen Miller, and that’s just one too many. He’s such a ghoulish creep, and I’m afraid that my phone is now haunted by a racist evil presence”.

    Stephen Miller’s mom also chimed in saying, “nobody ever wants a call from Stephen. He’s just so awful.”
