Trump appoints Susie Wiles as first female chief of staff
President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Susie Wiles as his White House chief of staff, making her the first woman to hold this position. Wiles managed Trump's successful campaign and is credited for its disciplined execution. Wiles is known for her ability to manage Trump's impulses and maintain his respect. She has limited federal experience but has a strong relationship with Trump, which may influence her effectiveness in the role. This appointment marks Trump's first major decision as president-elect. Wiles' leadership style contrasts with the high turnover of chiefs of staff during Trump's first term, where many aides struggled with internal conflicts.
