President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Susie Wiles as his White House chief of staff, marking her as the first woman to hold the position. His transition team is reportedly behind schedule in filling about 4,000 political roles. Trump plans to implement significant changes in his first days, including a large deportation program and dismantling President Biden's climate policies. He aims to revise the Affordable Care Act and impose new tariffs on imports. Additionally, Trump has promised to pardon individuals charged in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot. This includes over 1,000 people, with around 200 already convicted, as he labels them as political prisoners.
