Donald Trump has announced his first significant personnel appointment following his victory in the presidential election — Suzy Wiles, a well-known strategist with extensive experience in managing political campaigns, will be appointed as the head of the White House staff.
As noted by the AP, Wiles is capable of "managing" Trump's moods while maintaining his loyalty and respect. It is known that she has successfully restrained his impulses, not by trying to persuade or coerce him into specific decisions, but by demonstrating how following her advice could benefit him.
"Suzy is strong, smart, and innovative; she is admired and respected. Suzy will continue to work tirelessly to make America great again," Trump stated.
Despite her considerable experience in managing political campaigns, Wiles has not held a position in the federal government and lacks deep connections in Washington. Her experience is primarily linked to Florida, where she supported the successful campaigns of politicians such as Ron DeSantis and Rick Scott. She also worked on Trump's previous campaigns in 2016 and 2020. This gives her a unique position within Trump's team, allowing her to maintain close relationships with both the president's family and key external partners.
Given the tumultuous nature of Trump's previous administration, where conflicts among his aides were quite common, Wiles' appointment signals Trump's desire for a more cohesive team.
Wiles' appointment is also seen as an attempt by Trump to avoid the mistakes made in 2016, when he hired individuals with insufficient experience or conflicting positions. According to Trump himself, he is now more aware of the political landscape and is ready to avoid past errors.
