This wasn't a gaffe

Duty To Warn @duty2warn 50m
Trump praised Nazi sympathizer Henry Ford—the only American mentioned by name in Hitler's notorious Mein Kampf, a book Trump kept by his bedside. More than a dog whistle. To my fellow Jews, how meshugah do you have to be to vote for a Nazi?

is Stephen Miller the only aide who's been there the entire time?

This is why they picked the Ford plant--not a gaffe.

Get the damn cell ready. Give them group rates.

Actually, Miller and Bannon are reasonably intelligent. If they could only use that to do good...

Miller is purely toxic. One of the few windows we have into Stephen Miller's mind are these speeches, or "hostage videos" when Trump is reading prose written by his speechwriter. Miller implants his sludge and Trump reads it having no idea of its deeper reverberations. But David Duke and Richard Spencer get it.

like adding "soil" to his "bloodlines" reference, mentioning pepe the frog, flashing the OK sign during his speech or dropping the numbers 14 and 88 into his remarks.

And I think I read that his whole family disowned him.

Somehow he found a stepford wife... wonder what's up with her...

That Katie Miller and I share a high school history teacher (different schools). He's ultra liberal. Needless to say, they haven't kept in touch much since she graduated.

Her Wikipedia page highlights a scandal she was involved in while at UF. In hindsight, I guess she was destined to be a GOPee.

If Miller is self-loathing, isn't Jared the same?

The economy didn't exactly pass by the Kushner family. What gives?

Or is it just another convenient Country Club marriage between trust accounts?

Nothing wrong with immigrants, IMO. The Mayflower passengers were immigrants, too. But Trump acts like immgrants are pariahs, as if his pimp grandfather's family had been here before the Native Americans.
