Donald Trump and Susie Wiles, his White House chief of staff, whom Trump has privately been asking Republican allies whether to fire — even as he publicly insists she has his "complete confidence.Donald Trump with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and chief of staff Susie Wiles, with potential successors including Stephen Miller and Kevin McCarthy among names Trump has reportedly floated to allies.
President Trump has been quietly polling allies about White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, including floating the idea of removing her from her post, according to four people with direct knowledge of those conversations. He subsequently denied the report publicly, calling it "TOTAL FAKE NEWS" and saying Wiles has his "COMPLETE confidence." The contradiction lands fewer than three weeks before November's midterm elections, with Republicans fighting to hold Congress as Trump's approval ratings fall.
A GOP operative reportedly told Trump that Wiles has 'burned a lot of people' inside the administration.
Names reportedly circulating as possible replacements include Stephen Miller, the deputy chief of staff, along with New York Yankees president Randy Levine, Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, housing chief Bill Pulte, and former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Separately, major Trump donor Eric Deters has threatened to release a 16-minute recording he claims could 'bring down the entire Trump administration' — though the recording has not yet been made public.
