Axios interview: Susie Wiles vows to block West Wing troublemakers
Axios ^ | 1/6/2025 | Marc Capito

Incoming White House chief of staff Susie Wiles tells Axios in an interview that she aims for the West Wing to be a no-drama zone for staff. If that works, it won't be the chaotic den of self-sabotaging that stymied the early days of President-elect Trump's first term.

"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."

The blueprint, Wiles said, includes "getting off to a quick start and staying on that pace, together with an expectation of excellence every day."

The plans, she said, are all about "engendering public support" to deliver on Trump's promises and policies, including promoting energy production, "rolling back redundant and burdensome regulations, keeping taxes low, cutting government waste through DOGE [the new Department of Government Efficiency], and most importantly, sealing the border and deporting criminals who are in this country illegally."

Agreed—a couple of quick firings to the first troublemakers is the best way to send a message that is understood.

The WH staff has zero expectation of privacy—if they leak for their own reasons/benefit they should expect to be monitored and quickly removed.

“engendering public support”

huh? you’ve got conservative American support. all you need to do is take resignations or if necessary fire everyone who is left after j20. 2 secret service agents to escort them all out with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

then hire all MAGA and only MAGA. then you’ll have a ‘team with no drama.’

Closing the border and deporting illegals is not soft news.

Exactly. Depending on swamp creatures to carry out your agenda is what led to some of the issues in Trump's first term. If Trump plans on moving forward with the same WH staff that were a problem the last time around, it will be a sign that Trump learned nothing from his first term.
