What happened

In the White House video, Stephen Miller said President Trump, a year and a half into his second term, had, as Miller stated it, solved problems that had plagued the nation for decades. Miller credited the President with rebalancing the trading relationship with Canada, protecting American manufacturing and essential supply chains from China, and rebalancing NATO so other nations pay their fair share, as he stated it.

Miller also said, as he stated it, that the President had toppled Maduro in Venezuela, taken the fight to drug cartels after declaring them a foreign terrorist organization, and stopped Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. At home, Miller said the administration had unleashed American energy, brought gasoline prices down, and taken inflation down to 2%, as he stated it.

Miller closed by citing, as he stated them, the largest tax cut in American history, no tax on tips, overtime or Social Security, the largest reduction in murder since 1900, and 15 straight months of zero releases at the border.

Why it matters

Miller’s rundown is the White House’s own second-term scorecard in miniature, and it belongs in this chronicle as the administration’s stated case for its record on trade, energy, crime and the border.
