It's Different This Time Around‐Trump's Wily Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is Bringing the Heat

2025-03-30

[Red State] If you feel there’s something different about the second Trump administration, you’re not alone: many have noted that he and his team have brought a more focused, more effective, and frankly more seasoned effort than the first time the incredibly successful real estate mogul and reality television star was able to bring during his first go at the job.

He had four long years to study, and boy, did he learn. Not only did he come in with guns blazing—and a multitude of ready-to-go executive orders undoing the disastrous policies and anti-American vision of the Biden administration—but he had an all-star lineup of Cabinet members ready to be confirmed.

It’s been one of the most stunning political spectacles we've ever seen—or even read about.

Many of the people behind the scenes don’t get a ton of press, though, yet they've been crucial to his recent successes, and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is one of them. She gave a rare interview to the president’s daughter-in-law and Fox News Contributor Lara Trump on "My View" on Saturday and described how she approached her role:

"I see my job as just sort of keeping the trains on the tracks and running on time here, so that the subject-matter experts — and particularly the president and the vice president — can do what they need to do to fix the country," she said Saturday on "My View with Lara Trump."

She added Trump was "ready to hit the ground running" after having four years to consider his agenda between his first and second terms.

And she’s not obsessing over her gender or her sexual identity the way it seems almost every Democrat candidate does: she’s here on her merits. She’s a human being doing her job, not a check on a form:

#5 As I recall, DDM, you predicted Republican Tim Sheehy would be a disaster as well. How's that working out for your hysteria?

#4 Then who cares about Wile E. Wiles? Trump is a big lover of Big Pharma, thinks his DoD-run OWS saved "millions of lives". LOL, talk about no proof!

The Pfizer-Trump Administration have a lot of fish to fry, but bring the Fauci Flu killer ghouls who made/pushed the "vaccine" isn't one of them.

#3 junk food companies

Tut, tut, my good man! Junk food is so pejorative. They prefer to think of themselves as the fabricated snack industry.

Trump's big mistake first time around was thinking he was in charge. It is a common mistake with business people who go into politics. (see Ross Perot) When you are the boss, you tell people what to do and they do it. The size and recalcitrance of what we now call the Deep State was a surprise. This time around, Trump seems better prepared.

#2 Lol, get this guy.

Mercury Public Affairs, where Wiles was co-chair, does have a history of lobbying for pharmaceutical clients, including Pfizer and Gilead Sciences, as well as other industries like junk food companies (e.g., Kellogg’s, Kraft-Heinz, and Nestlé). However, lobbying disclosure records do not list Wiles as the individual lobbyist for these specific clients.

Based on the concrete data available, no direct link ties Wiles to pharmaceutical companies as a lobbyist. The narrative appears driven more by her firm’s clientele than her personal actions.

#1 Yeah, well, too bad she still has the stench of Big Pharma, a perfect fit for the Pfizer-Trump administration.
