‘Where Do You Even Begin With These Morons?’ [WATCH]

White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller criticized public figures and media personalities on Wednesday night over their role in promoting baseless rumors about President Donald Trump’s death.

Miller addressed the issue during an appearance on Fox News’ Hannity, responding to speculation that had circulated widely on social media during the Labor Day weekend.

The rumors began Friday, when hashtags such as #TrumpIsDead and #WhereIsTrump gained traction online.

The speculation coincided with a brief period in which the president was not seen publicly following a marathon cabinet meeting. Despite the rumors, Trump sat for a lengthy exclusive interview with the Daily Caller that same day.

Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Miller to respond to the spread of the conspiracy theory, pointing out that several high-profile individuals—including former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, comedian Stephen Colbert, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz—had publicly commented on it.

“Where do you even begin with these morons, Sean?” Miller said.

“President Trump has done more press conferences, more interviews, more transparency, more public accessibility, more hours and hours with the press. He livestreams his cabinet meetings for nearly four hours. There’s no human being in the history of politics who has made themselves more available to the press and the public than President Trump or who has demonstrated more stamina in public life. I can tell you that every single person who works for him in the White House is outworked by him.”

Miller described the president’s work schedule as constant and demanding.

“He is the first one to call us in the morning, in the early hours of the morning. He is the last one to call us far past midnight on every single work project, whether it’s trade, whether it’s national security, whether it’s the border, whether it’s crime, whether it’s public safety, whether it is making our cities beautiful again, whether it is making our government responsive, whether it’s improving the workforce, whether it is dealing with the need for cheaper housing. You pick the issue,” he said. “He’s on top of it 24-7.”

On Monday, Walz appeared to allude to the conspiracy during remarks at a Labor Day picnic, telling attendees, “there will be news sometime” about Trump’s death.

On Tuesday, Colbert referenced the rumors at the start of his show, joking that he was “shocked” to learn of the claims but adding, “Trump is very much alive.” When his audience booed, Colbert responded, “No. We like our presidents alive. Donald Trump is very much alive.”

Miller directly attacked Colbert during his interview with Hannity, calling him a “slimeball.”

He added, “The guy’s just disgusting. He has no talent. He’s not liked. Obviously, he was fired for a reason, but he’s just a sleazy, disgusting, smarmy guy. Look, it takes a lot to make me really despise somebody. Or maybe it doesn’t. I don’t know. But Colbert is a horrible person.”

The rumors and subsequent comments drew additional scrutiny because of Trump’s recent history of surviving two assassination attempts during his 2024 campaign.

On July 13, 2024, a gunman identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Trump was grazed by a bullet in the ear, while Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old volunteer fire chief, was killed shielding his family.

Two other individuals were also injured.

A second incident occurred on September 15, 2024, when Secret Service agents intercepted Ryan Routh, who had been found hiding in the bushes at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Routh was armed with an AK-47-style rifle.

Authorities later confirmed that the agents had prevented a planned attempt on the president’s life.

Miller’s comments Wednesday highlighted the White House’s effort to push back against both misinformation and political opponents amplifying speculation about the president’s health.

The administration has continued to stress that Trump remains active, visible, and engaged in daily governance.
