President Donald Trump appears to be holding his vice president back from achieving his most "dangerous" goals, according to a former Republican analyst.
Ex-Republican analyst Tim Miller, host of "The Bulwark Podcast," said during a new podcast episode on Wednesday that President Donald Trump's lack of apparent ideology seems to be thwarting the culture war aims of Vance and other administration members like Russ Vought and Stephen Miller.
"Trump is the scariest because you do need a cult leader to successfully do a full toppling of democracy," Miller said. "But, just purely on an ideological standpoint, Trump tamps down what a lot of these guys want to do in various ways."
Reports indicate that Miller has been guiding the administration's immigration enforcement policies, which have become increasingly unpopular, according to public polls. Vought has also sought to implement a more conservative bent in the mainstream media by threatening the licenses of networks with shows that have criticized the president.
Miller's guest, Jon Favreau, co-host of "Pod Save America," noted that Trump's administration has "a bunch of f------ lunatics" like Vought and Miller, both of whom share an ideology with Vance that is "more dangerous" than Trump's.
"They're all f------ nerds, but they're very dangerous, and the ideology is much more dangerous than Trump's ideology, who you could say doesn't have an ideology," Favreau said.
