Trump Names Susie Wiles Chief of Staff; 1st woman to ever hold the role

article

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Susie Wiles as his White House Chief of Staff. Wiles would become the first woman ever to hold the influential role.

Widely recognized inside and outside Trump’s inner circle for leading what was by far his most disciplined and well-executed campaign, Wiles was seen as the leading candidate for the position. She largely avoided the spotlight and even refused to take the microphone to speak as Trump celebrated his victory early Wednesday morning.

She was able to do what few others have been able to: help control Trump’s worst impulses — not by berating him or lecturing him, but by earning his respect and showing him he was better off , when he followed her advice, than mocking it.

“Susie is tough, smart, innovative and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again,” Trump said in a statement. “It is a well-deserved honor to have Susie as the first-ever female Chief of Staff in US history. I have no doubt she will make our country proud.”
