The wife of Donald Trump’s far-right Chief of Staff has revealed a neat trick for any Republican women struggling to balance “traditional gender roles” with a high-powered job: give up on getting any sleep.
In an interview with the Washington Post, Katie Miller, who’s married to ultraconservative anti-immigration crusader Stephen Miller, says between gruelling hours tending to her professional commitments, exercising six days a week, maintaining a vast home garden and cooking dinner on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, she’ll very often stay up until 1 a.m. catching up on work before getting up again with her three children at six o’clock every morning.
“That’s what it means to be a career-minded woman,” she said. “It means you can do it all if you choose to do it.”
A veteran press officer of the first Donald Trump administration, Miller’s sit-down with the newspaper comes after she left her role as Elon Musk’s personal comms assistant, a job she’d taken on after working as an adviser on the tech tycoon’s slash and burn DOGE initiative at the White House, to launch her own podcast, The Katie Miller Show.
The former Trump and Musk aide says that while episodes will invariably touch on certain political topics, she wants to focus more on questions of health, fitness, parenting and lifestyle, hoping the show becomes a “conservative answer to Call Her Daddy”—hosted by Alexandra Cooper, and the world’s most listened-to podcast directed toward a female audience.
The Katie Miller Show debuted Monday, with Vice President JD Vance as its first guest. Vance is, by all accounts, a man.
He has also argued women who pursue professional careers are on “a path to misery,” described female political opponents as “childless cat ladies” without a “direct stake” in the country’s future, taken issue with the “normalization of divorce” for encouraging women to leave “violent” and “abusive” marriages, and supported abortion bans without exception for cases of rape or incest.
With such hot topics largely outside the envisioned scope of Miller’s show, the pair instead chatted away about the vice president’s love of Mazzy Star and hit HBO show The Gilded Age. She also asked whether he thinks hot dogs qualify as sandwiches.
His two cents? “Definitely not.”
The extremism-monitoring organization, Southern Poverty Law Centre, has described Mr Miller as a Trump ally known for anti-immigration rhetoric who is credited with shaping Trump’s hardline policies.
Miller, who is Jewish, has rejected labels like “white nationalist” and “white supremacist,” describing anyone who calls him racist as “an ignorant fool, a liar and a reprobate who has no place in civilized society.”
