India appoints Trump’s adviser as…, his name is… his monthly salary will shock you, Pakistan appoints Trump’s ex bodyguard as…
India has appointed US President Donald Trump‘s senior advisor Jason Miller as its lobbyist in Washington and Pakistan has appointed Trump’s former bodyguard Keith Schiller as its representative in the US.
Following a war-like situation between India and Pakistan, both nations have intensified diplomatic efforts to strongly present their side across the world.
India since the 1950s has been using lobbying firms to promote its interests in the US. India has so far engaged the services of lobbying firms such as BGR Government Affairs, Squire Sanders & Dempsey and Rosen & Fried.
In 2019, when India removed Article 370 from Kashmir, it also took the services of American lobbying firm Cornerstone Government Affairs to create its positive image.
How a lobbyist works?
A lobbyist is a person who influences government policies, laws and decisions. He advocates on behalf of a group, business or individual. He uses data, communications and personal relationships to influence government decisions.
Understand the work of a lobbyist in this way that a drug manufacturing company wants the government to approve its new drug quickly. Now the company itself cannot meet the minister directly, so it hires a lobbyist.
This lobbyist meets politicians and officials and presents the company’s case, convinces them that this drug is necessary, it will benefit people, etc. In return, the company gives him money.
In simple words, a lobbyist is a bridge between the government and private companies, who seeks the benefit of their clients.
Who is Jason Miller?
Jason Miller has been appointed by India for a period of one year at a monthly fee of $1.50 lakh (Rs 12 crore). Jason Miller’s political journey began in 2011 when he advised Trump on his 2012 early election campaign.
Miller was a senior communications advisor in Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016. He played an important role in creating a media strategy to convey Trump’s message to the general public.
In 2019, Jason Miller teamed up with Steve Bannon to launch the ‘War Room: Impeachment’ podcast to mobilise people in support of Trump during his impeachment trial. The podcast was removed from YouTube in January 2021 following the Capitol riots.
Miller, who is believed to understand Trump’s mind better, was also a part of Trump’s team in the 2020 presidential election. Miller also played a role in launching Trump’s social media platform ‘Truth Social’ and was an active speaker in pro-Trump media.
He graduated from George Washington University with a degree in journalism. Miller worked for several Republican politicians and candidates, including in campaign strategy and media management.
Miller’s job is to effectively present India’s interests to the US government and the private sector. He is considered an expert in political strategy and disaster management.
Keith Schiller is Trump’s most loyal ally
Keith Schiller, who has been appointed by Pakistan, has been Donald Trump’s bodyguard and close associate for a long time. Schiller has been an officer in the New York Police but later played an important role in the Trump government.
Schiller began his career at the New York Police Department (NYPD), where he was a police officer. Schiller was appointed bodyguard to Trump’s then-wife Marla Maples in 1999 on the recommendation of an assistant district attorney.
After retiring from the NYPD in 2002, Schiller began working full-time for the Trump Organization. Trump appointed him the Trump Organization’s security director in 2004. Schiller was Trump’s personal bodyguard and remained with him for nearly two decades.
