When it comes to President-elect Donald Trump’s winning team, every key player has a unique role, bringing something vital to the table. Among them is Susie Wiles, the incoming White House Chief of Staff, whose no-nonsense approach is sure to shape the upcoming administration.
Wiles, who co-managed Trump’s successful 2024 campaign, isn’t one to shy away from hard work or strict expectations. In a recent interview, she made it clear that she won’t tolerate solo players or anyone looking for the spotlight. “I don’t welcome people who want to work solo or be a star,” she said, outlining the kind of teamwork and discipline she expects from the White House staff.
At 67 years old, Wiles has proven herself as a powerhouse in campaign management. Under her watch, Trump’s campaign not only thrived but succeeded in ways that balanced Trump’s freewheeling style with Wiles’ laser-focus on order. It’s no surprise that Trump has turned to her to maintain that same level of organization in the White House.
And just in case anyone had doubts about Wiles’ intimidating presence, Trump himself gave her a nickname that sends a clear message: “The Ice Maiden.” During his victory speech, Trump described her as someone who “likes to stay sort of in the back,” adding, “let me tell you!”
Wiles believes that success in the White House will come down to one thing: teamwork. “Anyone who cannot be counted on to be collaborative, and focused on our shared goals, isn’t working in the West Wing,” she said. The staffers she’s bringing in will need to be ready for long hours, with Wiles promising a fast-paced, high-expectations environment.
But she’s not all about the grind. Wiles is also focused on loyalty and competence. “I cannot stress teamwork and mutual support enough,” she explained, outlining a simple but effective strategy: set clear goals, work hard, and exceed expectations. This was the blueprint that worked for her on the campaign trail, and she intends to carry it forward into the White House.
Wiles is also clear on what the Trump administration will prioritize once in office. From cutting government waste and reforming taxes to tackling border security and deportations, Wiles is committed to making Trump’s agenda a reality.
In short, the new administration’s staff will be a mix of fresh faces and seasoned veterans, all dedicated to a singular purpose: achieving Trump’s vision. For Wiles, it’s not just about getting things done; it’s about doing them right, with discipline, teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
So, while Trump will continue to lead with his signature improvisation and boldness, it’s clear that Wiles will bring the structure and dedication needed to make his White House run like a well-oiled machine. Staffers, beware: it’s time to put in the work!
