Trump Aide Reportedly Played Trump His Favorite Show Tunes to Calm Him Down—and Now He's Running for Congress

Trump Aide Reportedly Played Trump His Favorite Show Tunes to Calm Him Down—and Now He's Running for Congress

Former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham's new book, I'll Take Your Questions Now, is revealing all sorts of secrets about the Trump administration. These secrets include one tidbit about a former Trump aide apparently dubbed the "Music Man."

That aide, one Max Miller—who happens to be Grisham's ex, was apparently called upon to play the former President's favorite show tunes to help him de-stress and calm down when upset or angry. These favorites evidently included the song "Memory" from "Cats."


The appellation, as well as Trump's apparent favorite show tune, caused quite a stir on Twitter.



It's not all fun and games—or music—when it comes to Miller, though. Many of the people who know him, both from his time in the White House and his youth in the affluent suburb of Cleveland called Shaker Heights, have said that Miller is a bully who is quick to anger himself.

Miller, who recently announced that he is running for Congress in Ohio's 16th district -- with Trump's endorsement, has also been accused of laying hands on Stephanie Grisham. This incident, in which he allegedly pushed her up against a wall and slapped her in the face, was apparently the cause of the end of their relationship.

Despite the allegations, some of which came from people who were granted anonymity by the courts because they feared retaliation by Miller, he has Trump's full support in his campaign to be the Representative for Ohio's 16th congressional district.

He sang Miller's praises at a recent rally in Ohio.

"A really great guy, Max Miller. A passion—he's got a passion for this country like you wouldn't believe. Max, come on up and say hello."

He has also referred to Miller as "an incredible patriot" and "a wonderful person."

It remains to be seen whether Trump's support of "Music Man" helps or hurts Miller's chances at election.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
