Donald Trump Names Susan Wiles as First Female White House Chief of Staff
After his election victory, US President-elect Donald Trump wasted no time in announcing his first cabinet appointment. He chose his campaign manager, Susan Wiles, to serve as the White House Chief of Staff, making her the first woman to hold this prestigious office.
Wiles, a 67-year-old from Florida, has been a key figure in Trump’s team and was even invited to join him on stage during his victory speech. Trump praised her resilience, intelligence, and innovation, stating that she is held in high regard by everyone and will continue to work hard to “Make America Great Again.”
The appointment of Wiles is just the beginning of what promises to be an unconventional administration under Trump 2.0. Potential candidates for other positions in the administration reflect the unique direction it is likely to take.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a well-known advocate in the anti-vaccine movement, has been promised a significant role in healthcare by Trump. Kennedy clarified that he does not intend to take away anyone’s vaccines but did express his support for removing fluoride from public water systems.
Another potential candidate for a government position is Elon Musk, the wealthiest individual in the world. Musk, known for his leadership at SpaceX, Tesla, and X, has shown support for Trump and may be considered for a role focused on auditing government expenditures.
As Trump prepares to return to the White House, he is expected to challenge many of President Biden’s policies. A climate change sceptic, Trump has vowed to prioritize oil drilling over environmental initiatives. However, undoing some of Biden’s investment measures may prove challenging, especially in districts where representatives rely on these resources.
