Stephen Miller, the Deputy Chief of Staff in Donald Trump’s White House and reputedly his most influential policy adviser, popped up on national television and laid bare a stark shift in the US government’s approach to the rest of the world, saying "we live in the real world that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power."
USSC Associate Professor in American Politics and Foreign Policy David Smith was quoted in the article on Stephen Miller's use of the quote and the United States' perception of the world and its power.
