CCN NEWS! 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 US 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.
⚡Interview explodes at 14 minutes: “Trump is destined to control everything”
Miller, once dubbed the “architect of Trumpism,” calmly and firmly said:
“President Trump will not be constrained by those who consider themselves ‘authorities.’ The Constitution allows him – as Commander-in-Chief and head of the executive branch – to exercise absolute power when America needs saving.”
Cooper immediately countered, asking whether Miller was implying that Trump would veto Congress and the Supreme Court. Miller just smiled:
“I didn’t say veto – I said veto. That’s what Americans expect: an unfettered leader.”
That statement silenced the studio – and then the debate turned heated when Cooper called Miller’s comments “dangerous and anti-democratic.”
🔥The political world is deeply divided: “Miller is saying things 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”.
On the other hand, Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote on X: “Finally, someone is telling the truth. The American people are fed up with 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, becoming one of the fastest-spread political clips of 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 power to clean up the Washington swamp!”
CNN then had to issue an official statement, affirming that they “do not support any extreme political statements” and “encourage viewers to judge the statements of their guests for themselves.”
💥“All power” – A phrase that makes America shudder
The phrase “all power” 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, sparking outrage among lawyers. But when Miller repeats the phrase now—as the election approaches—it carries 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 for 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 the nation breathless:
When Cooper asked the final question:
“Do you really believe that Donald Trump should have absolute, unfettered power?”
Miller replied, his eyes cold as steel:
“Not only should he – he must. Because if America is to be saved, there must be someone strong enough not to be hindered.”
The cameras were turned 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 it “the interview that reshaped the debate about democracy in America.” Some called Miller an agitator. Others called him “the pioneer of a new order.”
Whether you agree or not, one thing is certain: After tonight, America will not be the same again.
