In a move that should send shockwaves through the liberal echo chamber, President-elect Donald Trump has selected Susie Summerall Wiles to serve as his chief of staff. This makes Ms. Wiles the first woman ever to take on this pivotal role in the U.S. administration. The selection comes hot on the heels of Trump’s historic second term victory, which has liberals squirming about their narrative that the former president is somehow anti-woman.
Wiles, at the robust age of 67, isn’t just a political rookie—she is a political heavyweight credited with steering Mr. Trump through the tumultuous waters of his third presidential campaign. Her selection marks a significant moment in history, as it counters the left’s incessant harping on women’s roles in politics. Apparently, Susie’s resume—which includes not one but two successful presidential campaigns for Trump—speaks volumes louder than the complaints from those on the left who’d prefer to keep women in the “victim” box.
While Trump’s opponents scuffle for relevance, Wiles’ ascent to chief of staff showcases a stark contrast. Despite the claims from Democrats that another term for Trump would be detrimental to women, the results tell a different story. Trump wiped the floor with Biden’s running mate, Kamala Harris, among female voters aged 18-44, showcasing a refreshing shift that the political elites refuse to acknowledge. This just goes to show that women are more than capable of making their own choices at the ballot box, much to the horror of the left.

Trump’s appreciation for Wiles was on full display during his victory speech, where he referred to her as “the ice baby” while extolling her talents. While many in the Democratic camp would prefer to paint Trump as a misogynist, the reality is that he has surrounded himself with capable women throughout his political journey. The only “dumb guy” in this scenario appears to be Mark Cuban, a failed basketball team owner and outspoken critic of Trump, who couldn’t manage to keep his foot out of his mouth when claiming there are no strong women in Trump’s inner circle.
Trump’s team is already hard at work filling a myriad of both high-profile and lower-level positions in preparation for his new term. As the transition team continues to assemble the future administration, Wiles will likely play an integral role in paving the way for a government that continues to prioritize America First policies. In a political landscape where women are often portrayed as victims needing saving, the rise of Susie Wiles only reinforces the idea that women can—and do—thrive when they’re empowered to lead.
