Combative senior White House adviser Stephen Miller is mocked online for his surprising hair growth after his appearance on Face The Nation
- Stephen Miller, senior White House adviser on policy, went on ‘Face the Nation’ on CBS Sunday morning to defend Trump’s border wall
- Miller appeared to have a new widow’s peak which was not present during public appearances in the past
- Twitter was quick to poke fun at the development of the slightly off-color hairdo
Stephen Miller, senior adviser to the Trump administration, went on a Sunday morning news show to give to give a forceful defense of the President’s immigration policy, but his words were overshadowed by a shadow of new hair growth on his previously balding head.
On ‘Face the Nation’ hosted by Margaret Brennan, a widow’s peak appeared on Miller’s head where there had been none before. Social media picked up on the discrepancy almost immediately.
While Miller expounded on the necessity of the border wall to stop the ‘ongoing crisis of illegal immigration’ and threatened a government shutdown over funding for the wall, Twitter users instead focused on his hairline.

‘Dude is so desperate to build a wall he started building one on his head,’ wrote Jess Dweck, a Tonight Show writer noted.
‘Stephen Miller sporting the worst case of spray-on hair I have ever seen,’ tweeted user @Futuropolist. ‘The glory and horror of HDTV.’
‘Fake hair on Stephen Miller? I did nazi that coming!’ national security commentator Naveed Jamali posted, taking two jabs at the White House employee at the same time.
Comic Patton Oswalt went with an allusion to spray painted street art with the comment, ‘Banksy strikes again!’

Trump did not make any comments himself regarding his spokesperson’s new look earlier.
‘I do not wear a “wig,”‘ President Trump, a target familiar with wisecracks about his own hair, once famously tweeted. ‘My hair may not be perfect but it’s mine.’
He instead stuck to his defense of his child separation policy at the border on Twitter on Sunday.
‘The Democrats policy of Child Seperation on the Border during the Obama Administration was far worse than the way we handle it now. Remember the 2014 picture of children in cages – the Obama years. However, if you don’t separate, FAR more people will come. Smugglers use the kids!’ he tweeted.
