Wasn’t Wiles supposed to be a reasonable gatekeeper?
"I don't welcome people who want to work solo or be a star," Wiles, whose boss calls her the Ice Maiden, said by email. "My team and I will not tolerate backbiting, second-guessing inappropriately, or drama. These are counterproductive to the mission." https://www.axios.com/2025/01/06/axios-interview-susie-wiles-trump And good at managing Trump? https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/11/08/trumps-chief-of-staff-susie-wiles-00188467 You now have illegal firings, Trump threatening to annex Greenland, sketchy Starlink deals and “First Buddy” Elon tweeting that Hitler didn’t murder millions of people!?!? https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2025/03/13/musk-retweets-hitler-didnt-murder-millions-message-amid-ongoing-nazi-controversy/ What the heck happened? Is Wiles just MIA? Or, worse yet, does she agree with Trump and DOGE’s tactics? Good grief. The irony is that all these conservatives are supposedly “originalists,” but they can’t be bothered following the plain language of the law. |

| Of course she agrees with it all, she part of the administration. She might as well be giving the Nazi salute next to Musk. |

| I have wondered about this too. Maybe absolutely no one can manage Trump. He went through several chiefs of staff in his first administration. |

What r u doing here? that is all consistent language. Consistent with the loyalties and the non disclosure agreements - ethics . Nothing new here. Let me guess Did you just arrive in Washington DC like five years ago? |

| That was the lie we were told when she was named. |

| It's been really laser focused totally different than the first term. She is there to make sure there is no bickering between the staff. |

| Come on? If you are working for trump then he is in charge and you obey his every whim. |

| It is now abundantly clear that there are NO adults rendering sound counsel or advice in the White House |

This! I was thinking about Susie Wiles today too. She is totally MIA. |

| I assume she is doing what she can to keep things on the rails and who knows how much worse it could be if she was not. |

Since when is an assistant supposed to guide the Executive branch?
I get how it’s been done, I get how people her in position can have influence. But in the end, she can’t decide things. I 100% agree with you in lamenting the situation. But what are we expecting?? ‘We think Trump will make bad decisions, do damage, do illegal things. But she will stop him!’ |

The chief of staff has always guided the executive branch. |
