Politico’s Playbook has reported that it’s Susie Wiles‘ turn to be fired from her post as Chief of staff, White House, as President Donald Trump is now exploring options to replace her. Wiles is Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff and also the first woman to serve in this position. Wiles recently went through a difficult medical phase as earlier this year she announced her cancer diagnosis. In September, she called herself cancer-free after six months of treatment. The report said that Trump is not being discouraged at all to find Susie Wiles’ replacement. Susie’s critics want Trump to dump the ‘ice maiden’ because she “burned a lot f people”, they said.A Republican elected official whom Trump consulted said Trump mused about the option of elevating Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller or bringing in New York Yankees executive Randy Levine to the post. Trump’s long-time friend and US peace negotiator Steve Witkoff’s name is also on the table. So is the name of federal housing boss Bill Pulte.Trump is also raising the possibility of bringing in former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, with allies of the California Republican suggesting that McCarthy, who had a good working relationship with Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, could smooth over the inevitable tensions between Trump and a Democratic majority, the report said.But Trump did not accept any of these speculations and told Politico that Wiles “has my COMPLETE confidence” and bashed the outlet as not caring about “facts, integrity, or honest journalism.”
Katie Zacharia was not Susie Wiles’ choice as spokesperson
Wiles is the 5th person to serve as White House Chief of Staff across Trump’s two terms, and had an iron grip over affairs with very few leaks and less infighting news than what happened in Trump’s first term. Insiders said Wiles was not kept in the loop in many decisions and one of them was to hire Katie Zacharia as the spokesperson — in place of Karoline Leavitt. Zacharia has already become news owing to her claim that she is a lawyer because there is no record of her passing the bar exam in any state. After her first press conference, which was called a flop by commentators, Trump was asked about Zacharia’s law practice and Zacharia said she practised law when she was in China.While this is a new embarrassing episode for Trump, reports claimed that Susie Wiles was trying to rope in CNN commentator Scott Jennings as the spokesperson. But the president sidestepped her and hired Zacharia despite her lack of experience.
