Staff Reports
Donald Trump, the man who’s been both the bane and blessing of the political establishment, has made a power move by naming Susie Wiles as his Chief of Staff for the upcoming administration. This announcement comes on the heels of another historic election victory for Trump, one that some are already dubbing the “greatest political comeback in American history.” Wiles, who orchestrated Trump’s successful 2024 campaign, is set to become the first female Chief of Staff in U.S. history. For those keeping score, that’s a glass ceiling shattered amidst the rubble of a thoroughly chaotic political landscape.
Wiles brings an impressive resume to this new role. Daughter of the legendary sportscaster Pat Summerall, she has roots in the conservative movement that stretch back to Ronald Reagan’s 1980 campaign. Her track record includes pivotal roles in victorious campaigns for both Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis, proving she is no stranger to navigating the treacherous waters of Florida politics. This commitment to winning has made her a staunch ally of Trump, unlike past Chiefs of Staff who left many scratching their heads over their loyalty or lack thereof.
The nod from Vice President-Elect JD Vance only underscores the confidence in this appointment. While another name, Kevin McCarthy, floated around for the position, he graciously declined, leaving the field clear for Wiles, a figure who has consistently shown the grit needed to confront the D.C. establishment without losing her footing. Unlike the revolving door of past advisers who were more interested in their own visibility than making a meaningful impact, Wiles embodies a refreshingly steady presence.

The controversy stirred up by billionaire Mark Cuban is just icing on the cake, showcasing how the left continues to underestimate the women surrounding Trump. Cuban’s misguided jab insinuating that Trump doesn’t associate with “strong, intelligent women” highlighted a classic blunder. Wiles, along with other prominent women in the Trump orbit, stepped forward to not just defend their leader, but to remind critics of their own biases. The irony of Cuban, who often flouts his business savvy, being schooled by Trump’s female allies is a delicious twist to this political saga.
In an age where social media often steals the spotlight, Wiles’ decision to remain mostly behind the scenes only amplifies her prowess as a strategist. Her rare forays into social media have shown that she knows when to engage—and when to let her impressive track record do the talking. With Wiles at the helm as Chief of Staff, there is a sense of optimism about the direction of the Trump administration. The nation can expect a steady hand guiding policy and a fierce defender of principles that align with conservative values.
