Mexico and the United States Agree to Strengthen Security Cooperation

 

Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and National Security Advisor Stephen Miller lashed out this week at Democrats, accusing them of spreading misleading accounts about President Donald Trump's health.

In an interview Wednesday night with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Miller vehemently defended the president's public image. He said Trump has demonstrated an unprecedented willingness to engage with the media and open himself up to the public. "President Trump has offered more press conferences, more interviews, more transparency, more direct access to the American people. He's spent countless hours in front of the press. He's even livestreamed Cabinet meetings that extend up to four hours!" the advisor emphasized.

Miller's statements are part of a broader White House strategy to counter criticism and speculation about the president's health and fitness. In recent months, Democratic opponents have repeatedly questioned his physical and mental stamina, sparking a constant debate in the political and media arenas.

Miller's combative tone reflects the importance the administration places on neutralizing any doubts about Trump's image, especially in a context where the perception of personal strength is becoming a key political asset. For the White House, portraying an active president, willing to interact with journalists and submit to public scrutiny, is a way to directly refute accusations of opacity or weakness.

Beyond the statements, the exchange with Hannity also illustrates the close relationship between the Trump administration and some conservative media outlets, which have become key platforms for reinforcing the official message and responding to criticism from the opposition.
