On June 11, 2018, the best photos of the last two days coming out of the G-7 summit in Quebec, Canada and the Kim Jong-Un talks in Singapore were images of two patriot heroes, presidential aide and speechwriter Stephen Miller and newly installed Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, both at the side of President Trump. I’m happy because it reconfirms that our president has the best patriots right at his side, is in constant contact with them. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong presented Donald Trump with a surprise 72nd birthday cake three days early, and we see Stephen Miller beaming from his seat at the table next to Donald Trump as he blows out the one candle on his cake. It was probably Stephen Miller, graduate of Santa Monica High School just blocks from where I spent most of my life, who added touches of patriot genius to the historic speech given by Donald Trump, the greatest speaker in American history, in Krasinski Square, Warsaw, Poland. As he spoke of defending Western Civilization with words like “We write symphonies”, behind and above President Trump were 30-foot tall bronze figures of the Polish Home Army heroically fighting against the Wehrmacht to free their city from August 1 to October 2, 1944. They were crushed, both by Hitler and by Stalin, whose Red Army not only refused to offer any aid to the Poles directly across the Vistula River, where Stalin had ordered them to halt their advance. Stalin went further by ordering that no Allied planes trying to fly supplies to the Poles be allowed to land or take off from Red-held territory. After the defeat of the Home Army in those 63 days, the Wehrmacht spent all of October, November, and December totally demolishing Warsaw after expelling all of the Poles, while Stalin’s forces idly looked on. Stephen Miller “gets” all of this, and it’s great to see that the President wants him seated two chairs away from himself.
