Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, has observed a transformation in President Donald Trump over the past year, a change she believes is advantageous for the nation.
Wiles, who holds the distinction of being the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff, has been closely associated with President Trump for years, having previously chaired his presidential campaign. Her insights into the President's evolution were shared during an interview with Lara Trump on Fox News's "My View with Lara Trump."
According to The Washington Examiner, Lara Trump remarked on the noticeable shift in President Trump's demeanor, attributing some of the credit to Wiles. "I think people noted the change. There was a slight change in the president, and the way he operated and the way he would kind of take a second and think through things. People gave you a lot of credit for that, Susie," she stated. Wiles, however, attributes the President's transformation to his life experiences, including the challenges of lawfare, leading the free world, and surviving an assassination attempt. "Hes a different person than he was. So, I really dont think any one person changed him. I think life experience and who he is changed him," Wiles explained. She added, "I think hes a better leader now. So, I dont know that I had anything to do with that, but I think the country benefits from it."
Lara Trump also highlighted Wiles's past success in helping her father, Pat Summerall, overcome alcoholism, suggesting that Wiles's "tough love approach" might have similarly influenced President Trump. Wiles acknowledged the unique dynamic she shares with the President, saying, "He probably would tell you that. I am so lucky to have a really good sort of dynamic with him. Im older, Im a female, Ive been doing this a long time. Ive been with him long enough that we have a pretty good easy thing going."
Wiles's career in politics began under the Reagan administration, where she worked in scheduling. She later took a hiatus from the political scene to focus on her family in Jacksonville, Florida. Her return to the political arena and subsequent rise to her current role underscores her enduring commitment to public service and her ability to navigate the complexities of high-stakes political environments.
As she continues to support President Trump, Wiles remains vigilant in her efforts to maintain the trust and rapport she has built, recognizing the importance of her role in serving both the President and the nation.
