THE NEW YORK TIMES: In a CNN interview, the Trump aide also echoed the president’s intent to run Venezuela as he laid out a case for the United States to control weaker states by flexing its military might.
Stephen Miller, a top aide to President Trump, asserted on Monday that Greenland rightfully belonged to the United States and that the Trump administration could seize the semiautonomous Danish territory if it wanted.
“Nobody’s going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland,” Mr. Miller told Jake Tapper, the CNN host, after being asked repeatedly whether he would rule out using military force.
The remarks were part of a vocal push by Mr. Miller, long a powerful behind-the-scenes player in Trump administration policy, to justify American imperialism and a vision for a new world order in which the United States could freely overthrow national governments and take foreign territory and resources so long as it was in the national interest.
“We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power,” he said. “These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.” » | Chris Cameron | Reporting from Washington | Monday, January 5, 2026
Civilization as we knew it is over! According to this Nazi's rationale, if your neighbour’s house is nicer than yours and you are stronger than he, you are entitled to move in and steal his house from him! How civilized!
This is what you get when you allow your country to be run by criminals. Trump, or King Don, is the big boss, of course. But Stephen Miller is one of his chief advisors.
