Stephen Miller, one of Donald Trump's most loyal lieutenants, has reportedly received a surprisingly juvenile jab from Trump himself. According to author Michael Wolff, Trump has a not-so-secret nickname for immigration hardliners. And once you hear it, it's difficult to unhear.

According to biographer Michael Wolff, Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff in the White House, has a less than flattering nickname: "Weird Stephen," as quoted in a report by The Daily Beast.

Miller's influence may be waning behind the scenes as Trump softens his immigration policies.


On The Daily Beast Podcast, biographer Michael Wolff disclosed the generally childish moniker Trump gave to one of his most devoted supporters and the man who developed many of his strict immigration policies.

According to Wolff, "there is an awareness that Stephen Miller is a problem." “And even Trump calls him ‘Weird Stephen.’ Because he is weird, by the way. I mean, you can’t spend a moment with him and not say, ‘Oh, something’s off here,’” as quoted in a report by the Daily Beast.

Miller is well-known for his strict immigration policies and lack of eye contact, according to biographer Michael Wolff.

Could Stephen Miller fall out of favor with Donald Trump?

As part of Trump's promise to implement the largest mass deportation operation in American history, Miller has been pressuring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain at least 3,000 migrants every day.

According to Wolff, Miller's hardline stance has been questioned by Trump, who has already indicated that he is softening his stance.

Miller vehemently opposed his proposed exemptions for hotel and farm workers, which are sectors that mainly depend on immigrant labor, last week.

A White House spokesperson told the Daily Beast in response to the moniker allegations, "Michael Wolff is a lying sack and has been proven to be a fraud."
