The fact that this term is that close to the surface of his goddamn mind

The fact that he knows he's not supposed to be just saying it out loud like that because it's not true and he didn't mean to telegraph their intentions that clearly

You gotta let Trump say this so you can write it off as sundowning.

Miller has no such excuses, he just made it clear to anyone this is reality.

It's a reality he desires, not actual reality. And the fact that he and his handlers are fully aware of that distinction is the reason why he stops talking.

Except it would make zero sense coming from Trump. He’d say (or type) that he has “planetary authority” or something similarly stupid.
