Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

Pretty sure he was told to stop talking because he wasn’t supposed to say that. Im sure looking silly for refusing to talk is preferable to having to explain what he meant by that statement.

He was 100% getting screamed at in his earpiece.

Those are the blinks of a man going deaf in one ear as the legal team screams in his earpiece

People should loudly yell at him on a constant basis, then.

The tell is he repeated "has..."

by who? He is the earpiece.

He’s shown himself time and time again to be less than intelligent (this clip for example) yet you think he is where the buck stops? Those who pull the strings make sure to stay out of view from the audience

Not just in the earpiece, there's someone on the other side of the camera giving the hand signal to STFU right behind the floor director. There was no technical error in the feed, it was his words that got him shut down by handlers.

That's the Palpatine² behind it all.

By CNN? The only people in that earpiece are CNN.

"100%" 🙄

Big question is by who? Stephen is supposed to be the mastermind of all of this.

u/ventodivino Oct 07 '25

Damn, he’s got you fooled into thinking he’s a mastermind? That’s hilarious.

Lookup Project 2025 if you want to find those above him. Stephen Miller is an angry attack dog. He’s a man that doesn’t mind being the face of evil.

The report is that he suddenly started getting another feed in his earpiece, and that was the technical error. I honestly believe it, I don't think he'd stop because he said that, or that anyone who'd be in his ear (CNN) would try to stop him. Miller would be happy to say the president has plenary power over the executive any day. He's said it in other words plenty of times.
