Washington D.C. – A real political earthquake just broke out in the CNN studio when Stephen Miller, former senior advisor to Donald Trump, bluntly declared in a live interview that “President Trump has total authority to run the country the way he thinks necessary – no one can stop him!”.
That statement not only stunned host Anderson Cooper for a few seconds, but also caused the whole United States to explode in controversy. Within just 30 minutes of the broadcast, the hashtag #TotalAuthority climbed to the top of Twitter, attracting millions of angry, confused and… excited comments.
⚡Explosive interview at minute 14: “Trump is destined to control everything”
Miller, once known as the “architect of Trumpism,” calmly said with certainty:
“President Trump will not be limited by those who consider themselves ‘authorities.’ The Constitution allows him – as Commander in Chief and head of the executive branch – to use plenary powers when America needs saving.”
Cooper immediately countered, asking if Miller was implying that Trump would override Congress and the Supreme Court. Miller just smiled:
“I didn’t say override – I said override. That’s what Americans expect: a leader whose hands are not tied.”
That statement silenced the studio – and then the debate turned into a heated exchange when Cooper called Miller’s comments “dangerous and anti-democratic.”
🔥The political world is deeply divided: “Miller is saying what Trump dares not say!”
That night, a series of politicians, scholars and constitutional lawyers spoke out in unison.
Senator Bernie Sanders called the statement “a terrifying step toward dictatorship”.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, on the other hand, wrote on X: “Finally, someone is telling the truth. The American people are tired of weak politicians.”
Meanwhile, analysts at The Washington Post said that Miller is “preparing the public for a Trump II term with unprecedented power in modern history”.
An anonymous source in the Trump campaign team even revealed:
“This is not a slip of the tongue. This is a strategic message. They want America to know that there will be no ‘restraint’ in a second term.”
⚠️CNN criticized – but also attracted record viewership
The interview video is only 27 minutes long, but has reached more than 18 million views on YouTube in just 6 hours, making it one of the fastest-spread political clips in 2025.
Comments are clearly divided into two camps:
“Stephen Miller is describing a dictatorship! This is a warning for American democracy.”
“Yes! Trump needs total authority to drain the Washington swamp!”
CNN later had to issue an official statement, affirming that they “do not support any extreme political statements” and “encourage viewers to evaluate their guests’ statements themselves.”
💥“Total authority” – A phrase that makes America shudder
The phrase “total authority” is not the first time it has been mentioned. In 2020, while still in office, Trump claimed he had “total authority” to reopen the economy amid the pandemic, drawing outrage from legal circles. But when Miller repeated the phrase now—with the election looming—it carried a different weight: a threat or a promise, depending on which side you’re on.
Experts warn that if the idea of “total authority” becomes the official political platform of Trump 2025, it could radically change the structure of power in the United States—from control of the press to the military.
🧨Miller’s closing line left America breathless:
When Cooper asked the final question:
“Do you really believe that Donald Trump should have absolute, unfettered authority?”
Miller responded, his eyes cold as steel:
“Not only should—he must. Because if America is to be saved, there must be someone strong enough not to be hindered.”
The cameras were off, the audience was silent. But the echoes of that interview are still spreading around the world.
🗞️Conclusion: From a conversation – to a political storm
Observers called this “the interview that reshaped the debate about democracy in America”. Some called Miller an agitator. Others called him “a pioneer of a new order”.
Whether you agree or disagree, one thing is certain: After tonight, America will not be as peaceful as before.
