Trump Fires Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Replaces Her with Stephen Miller
President Trump has fired his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, blaming her for the midterm election defeat and replacing her with hardline aide Stephen Miller. Wiles, who managed Trump's 2024 victory, is the latest in a series of women dismissed from his administration. The pattern began in January 2025 with Coast Guard commandant Linda Fagan, followed by Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, all replaced by men. Trump attributed various failures to these women, from immigration policy to the Epstein archives release. No male cabinet members have been fired despite similar controversies, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's impeachment articles and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's Epstein file connections. The White House press secretary role also remains vacant after Katie Zacharia's dismissal.
