Who is Susie Wiles, Trump's future White House chief of staff?



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmStACY4eig

US President-elect Donald Trump has announced his campaign manager, Susan Summerall Wiles, will serve as his White House chief of staff when he takes over the presidency next year.

In a statement, Trump said that Wiles "just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history" and "is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected".

"It is a well deserved honour to have Susie as the first-ever female chief of staff in United States history," he continued. "I have no doubt that she will make our country proud.”

Wiles, 67, is the first woman to be appointed White House chief of staff.

The Trump transition team is currently working to choose top members of the incoming Republican administration, including the heads of all 15 executive departments, such as the secretaries of state and defence, from 20 January.

In his victory speech this week, Trump referred to Wiles as "the ice maiden" as she stood behind him on stage.

She operates mostly “in the back”, the president-elect said, but she is known as one of the most feared political operatives in the US.

"Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again," he added in his statement on Thursday, referring to his oft-repeated campaign slogan.

Who is Susie Wiles?

A profile by Politico earlier this year described Susie Wiles as feared but little known.

Less than a year after Wiles started working in politics, she joined Ronald Reagan’s campaign ahead of his 1980 election.

She went on to play a key role in transforming politics in Florida, where she lives.

In 2010, she turned Rick Scott, a then-businessman with little political experience, into Florida’s governor in just seven months. Scott is now a US senator.

Wiles met Trump during the 2015 Republican presidential primary and became the co-chair of his Florida campaign. He went on to win the state over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Florida Gov Ron DeSantis, who put her in charge of his successful gubernatorial race two years later, described Wiles as “the best in the business”.

Wiles worked on the Trump campaign alongside Chris LaCivita, a veteran of Republican politics with decades of experience.

The two worked with Trump to formulate a winning presidential primary strategy.

In her Politico profile, the 67-year-old grandmother - who is the daughter of late American football player and broadcaster Pat Summerall - said that she comes from a "traditional" political background.

“In my early career things like manners mattered and there was an expected level of decorum," she said, describing the Republican party as significantly different than the one of several decades ago.

"And so I get it that the GOP of today is different," she said, referring to the Republican party, who are also called the Grand Old Party (GOP).

"There are changes we must live with in order to get done the things we’re trying to do."

The chief of staff is considered to be the president's top aide, and plays a crucial role in every president's administration.

They essentially serve as the manager of the White House and are responsible for putting together a president's staff. A chief leads the staff through the Executive Office of the President and oversees all daily operations and staff activities.

They also advise presidents on policy issues and are responsible for directing and overseeing policy development.

Foreign AffairsTrump Announces Susie Wiles As White House Chief Of Staff by FARA4GA(op): 9:30am On Nov 08, 2024

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txtYQ8LSW9Y

Donald Trump announced on Thursday that his campaign manager, Susie Wiles, will be named his White House chief of staff.

Susie Wiles just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history, and was an integral part of both my 2016 and 2020 successful campaigns,” the president-elect said in a statement.

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

CNN reported earlier Thursday that Wiles was considered the front-runner for the job but had some reservations about the role and had expressed to Trump certain conditions before she accepted, a source said. At the top of the list was more control over who can reach the president in the Oval Office.

“The clown car can’t come into the White House at will,” the source said. “And he agrees with her.”

During Trump’s first term, his chiefs of staff struggled to prevent a roving cast of informal advisers, family members, friends and other interlopers from getting inside the White House to meet with him. Trump is often influenced on an issue by whoever he speaks to last, a fact that is well known within his circle and one that made life difficult on his top aides.

Wiles was widely credited for running what was seen as Trump’s most sophisticated and disciplined campaign, which included keeping many of the fringe voices in his orbit at bay.

For most of the campaign, she was in charge of the flight manifest for Trump’s private plane – a thankless job that required her to shut down access to the former president when he wouldn’t tell someone “no” himself. At times, she also had to confront Trump about keeping certain people at arm’s length – though, her inability to prevent far-right provocateur Laura Loomer from joining the former president at a debate and a 9/11 memorial service created significant blowback for her boss.

Brooke Rollins, who was also under consideration for chief of staff and had some big names aligning with her, stood down from vying from the role Wednesday after it became clear that seeking it would amount to a serious power struggle with Wiles and that the role was Wiles’ for the taking, according to a person familiar.

Rollins, who served in Trump’s first term, now runs the America First Policy Institute and is still expected to have a role in the second Trump administration.

The chief of staff post — the second-most-important office in the West Wing — is one of the few remaining jobs in the federal government to have never been held by a woman. Kamala Harris was the first woman to be vice president. And many other senior positions in the government have been helmed by women, including almost all of the Cabinet posts, top judicial seats and House leadership roles. But no woman has ever assumed the top Pentagon position, nor has one served on the joint chiefs of staff or as the chief justice of the Supreme Court.

The daughter of the late NFL broadcaster Pat Summerall and a seasoned political operative from Florida, Wiles is one of the longest-serving advisers in Trump’s orbit. After helping him win Florida in 2020, she served as his de facto chief of staff during his post-presidency and then led his campaign for the entirety of the race – a rare feat in Trump world.

On election night, Trump credited Wiles during his victory speech, though she declined to address the crowd gathered at the Palm Beach Convention Center, instead turning the microphone over to co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita.

Her willingness to stay in the background has endeared her to Trump and to his allies, several of whom have already endorsed her publicly for the job.

“Susie Wiles ran Trump’s best campaign of the three, and it wasn’t particularly close,” Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk wrote online. “She’s disciplined, she’s smart, and she doesn’t seek the limelight. She would make an incredible Chief of Staff. The president, and America, would be well served with Susie in that key role.”

Foreign AffairsOprah Winfrey Warns This Will Be The Final Election If Trump Wins [video] by FARA4GA(op): 10:25pm On Nov 05, 2024

If we don’t show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to cast a ballot again,’ Oprah Winfrey warns

Oprah Winfrey delivered a damning final warning about the dangers of a second Donald Trump term at Kamala Harris’s last rally of her presidential election campaign.

The veteran talk show host joined the vice president at her star-studded Philadelphia rally on Monday night, marking the last of her five campaign stops in the must-win swing state Pennsylvania on Election Day eve.

After pop star Lady Gaga sang a rendition of Irving Berlin’s God Save America, Oprah arrived on stage and delivered her final pitch to Americans to vote, warning that democracy may hang in the balance if Trump is re-elected.

“You have got to vote. And listen, I know some of you are feeling burnt out and bruised and maybe inconsequential. Nothing could be further from the truth. Every single vote, every one is going to matter,” the media mogul said.

“If we don’t show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to cast a ballot again.”

Oprah warned that America stands on the “precipice of danger” and claimed that those reluctant to vote for a presidential candidate risk relinquishing their control to an authoritarian regime.

“We are voting to save ourselves from this precipice of danger where we now stand.

“All the anxiety and fear you are feeling, you’re feeling that because you sense the danger. And you change that with your vote.”

Oprah’s warning comes as Trump has ramped up his authoritarian rhetoric during his campaign and hinted that, if he wins the 2024 race, he would make it so that Americans never need to vote again.

CelebritiesCardi B Endorses Kamala Harris As 'women Have To Work 10 Times Harder' [video] by FARA4GA(op): 11:04am On Nov 02, 2024

Rapper Cardi B says she 'wasn't going to vote' until Kamala Harris entered the race against 'bully' Trump - as Democrats and Republican rivals enter their election fight endgames

Cardi B has endorsed Kamala Harris for President claiming in her speech in Wisconsin that she 'wasn't going to vote' until the Vice-President entered the race against 'bully' Trump.

Both candidates held rallies within 7 miles of each other last night in the Milwaukee area as part of a fevered final push for votes in swing-state Wisconsin's largest county.

Milwaukee is home to the most Democratic votes in Wisconsin, but its conservative suburbs are where most Republicans live and are a critical area for Trump as he tries to reclaim the state he narrowly won in 2016 and lost in 2020.

One reason for his defeat was a drop in support in those Milwaukee suburbs and an increase in Democratic votes in the city.

The outspoken A-list rapper did find herself in an awkward moment at a rally for the Vice President, due to teleprompter issues.

However she continued: 'I wasn't gonna vote this year,' before adding that Ms Harris taking over as the Democratic nominee changed her mind.

'She's passionate, compassionate... and most of all she is not delusional,' she said.

She referred to Donald Trump as a 'bully'.
'He said he's gonna protect women whether they like it or not,' she says.

'If his definition of protection is not the freedom of choice... then I don't want it. I'm not giving Donald Trump a second chance.'

Democrats know they must turn out voters in Milwaukee, also home to the state's largest Black population, to counter Trump's support in the suburbs and rural areas. Harris is hoping to replicate, and exceed, turnout from 2020 in the city, which voted 79 percent for Biden that year.

The famous female rapper dressed in white took the stage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and immediately paused as the crowd cheered wildly.

'One second guys. One second!' she began as the crowd cheered her on.

She removed her white gloves and tried to begin speaking, but ultimately paused again after the teleprompter screen went blank.

'OK. So I don't take lightly the call,' she began, before pausing. 'I'm sorry guys, I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous guys, I've been waiting for this moment this whole life, my whole life.'

'I need patience over here, patience where are you girl?' she shouted. 'I need patience over here!'

'Are we ready to make history?' she asked repeatedly.

Four of the past six presidential elections in Wisconsin have been decided by less than a point, or fewer than 23,000 votes.

It was absentee votes from Milwaukee, which typically are reported early in the morning after Election Day, that tipped Wisconsin for President Joe Biden in 2020.

After about 90 seconds of stalling, finally an aide rushed on stage to give her a phone with what looked like her prepared remarks on the screen.

'Now I took my time writing my speech, so I wanted to make sure I delivered it right,' she said.

Cardi B quickly regained confidence and read off her speech from the phone.

CelebritiesYoung Thug's Guilty Plea Stuns The Music World | YSL Trial Takes A Shocking Turn by FARA4GA(op): 11:28pm On Oct 31, 2024

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1eenS7qp7I

Atlanta rapper Young Thug has pleaded guilty to participating in criminal street gang activity, a surprise twist that could end the musician's long-running trial, US media report.

The 33-year-old rapper, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams, was arrested in May 2022 on racketeering and other charges stemming from his alleged leadership role within the Young Slime Life, or YSL, street gang.

Prosecutors had originally asked for up to 120 years in prison for Mr Williams before an agreement was reportedly reached, which still needs approval from a judge.

The case is believed to be the longest-running criminal trial in Georgia state history.

As part of the deal, Mr Williams also pleaded no contest to two additional criminal counts: leading a criminal street gang and conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (Rico) Act.

Three of Mr Williams's co-defendants in the case took plea deals earlier this week.

The star rapper's deal - known as a non-negotiated plea - means that prosecutors and Mr William's defence attorneys could not come to an agreement.

Ultimately, his punishment will be decided by Superior Court judge Paige Whitaker.

In 2022, Georgia prosecutors used the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (Rico) Act - famously used in mafia trials - against Mr Williams and 27 associates believed to have been involved in YSL.

While jury selection in the trial began in January 2023, it was not until November of that year that opening statements began.

By then, only six co-defendants remained, including Mr Williams.

In July this year, the trial was put on hold indefinitely after Mr Williams's lawyers asked a previous judge to recuse himself over misconduct allegations.

The lawyers said Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville held an "improper" meeting on 10 June when he met privately with prosecutors and a key witness.

They claimed Judge Glanville sought to pressure the witness into testifying and the lawyers pressed him to recuse himself, motions which the judge had denied.

Mr Williams' lead attorney, Brian Steel, was also found in criminal contempt in June this year after refusing to reveal how he got to know about the meeting.

The trial also saw a number of unusual incidents, including the arrest of a Fulton County deputy for allegedly attempting to smuggle contraband to a defendant.

In another instance, the court's Zoom account was hacked into by someone who yelled "free Thug!".

The remaining two defendants in the case, Shannon Stillwell and Deamonte Kendrick, reportedly plan to move ahead with trials.
