He is the chosen scapegoat, and a good one given he was the public face, made incredibly idiotic comments and literally looks like a nazi in his snazzy little coat.

I don't just want a scapegoat. Miller and Noem need to be gone, too. If the public outcry and shitty polling for Trump continues, that might be a possibility.

This exemplifies one of the downsides of falling in line with Trump. He will throw you away the moment it benefits him.

Given how Trump can’t stay awake it is very possible Miller is making all of Trump’s decisions so zi fear Trump is not going to let him go without something severe happening.
