'Kash, see if you can top that…': Trump turns briefing into 'loyalty test', challenges FBI chief

When it comes to heaping praise on President Donald Trump in public, Stephen Miller is a tough act to follow. FBI Director Kash Patel found that out the hard way on Monday, after Miller sang the president’s praises for nearly three minutes during a roundtable discussion on crime in Memphis, Tennessee. “Thank you, Stephen. So Kash, see if you can top that!” Trump quipped, drawing a few chuckles from the panel. “I don’t know, that’s a tough one, Kash.” “That’s tough,” Patel admitted, before starting his own speech about how great of a job Trump has done in his second term. Miller had just lauded the president for his “vision, courage, and determination” that led to the “lowest national murder rate” and the “largest reduction in illegal immigration in American history,” among several other examples he pointed to.
