Well, ain’t that something.
In what I can’t help seeing as a trolling of Mark Cuban, President-Elect Donald J. Trump appointed Susie Wiles to be his chief of staff, the first woman to hold that post for any president. It was his first appointment, and it came fast.
Billionaire Cuban, you may recall, told the TDS-majority of The View what they wanted to hear: “Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever. It’s just that simple. They’re intimidating to him.” A stupid misfire, for which he later apologized.
I am no fan of Trump’s but he has appointed many strong, intelligent women, both as a developer, and as a president. I particularly remember the strong intelligent women around him who testified against him in the Jan. 6 hearings.
Cuban also said Trump doesn’t like to be challenged, and I think that is true. Many powerful people, not just men, don’t like to be challenged.
It seems Wiles has the green light to challenge him, or maybe she is smart enough, reportedly, to maneuver Trump away from his demons without a direct confrontation.
So who is Susie Wiles? Reuters offered a bio that describes her as a no-nonsense “ice maiden,” empowered by the president, a source told CNN, to keep the “clown car’ out of the White House.
Her reputation is for competence and discipline. She was the co-chair of his successful presidential campaign.
She got her start working on Ronald Reagan’s successful 1980 presidential campaign, shuns the spotlight, and can be ruthless. She is the daughter of NFL player and broadcaster Pat Sumerall.
I see her as a sort-of Snow White, surrounded by some dwarves with black hearts, the ones who stoke Trump’s demons and will lead him into quicksand.
As an American, I want him to succeed, to stick to policy, and to fulfill the promises a majority of us like.

The beneficial difference for the USA between Trump and someone else who will not be named, is that the other person selected his very important positions, Supreme Court, too, by the weaknesses of the DEI method of ones identity over ability or merit.
It seems Trump picks people for ability and merit.
Yeah, three fucking liars. You are a disgrace. You supported a person who literally encouraged Americans to overthrow a legal election, a rapist, and a felon. You lack morals.
Sadly, he’s not the only deluded bumpkin who voted freeze, my friend. So now I never want to hear the words “America is better than this” again. I want honesty. I want an admission of exactly who we are as a country, and let’s be damn clear about that definition: We are a country that just elected – that just willfully chose – one of the most cruel, unscrupulous and transparently self-serving political figures in modern history to be president again.
We just elected a convicted felon who has normalized bullying, spread hate like an industrial sprinkler and has shown us over and over again that he sees laws as irrelevant. A majority of Americans cast their vote for the man who is a poster child for the worst in all of us. America just chose chaos and hate.
A year from now, I don’t want to hear a damn word about anyone not realizing just how bad things could get. I also don’t want to hear about anyone who didn’t vote because they were still “doing their research.”
When I think of chaos and hate, I think of having to call people over in order to buy socks at Walmart and the unifying language contained in those peaceful Ivy League "sit ins" on campuses around the Northeast. January 6th was one day and CCTV clearly demonstrates that it wasn't nearly as bad as the baby Huey liberals contend.
Oh, don't worry. We'll be watching him every fucking step of the way.
Don’t know much about her, but on the surface seems like a good hire. The part of what you wrote about her being Snow White who will likely be the last person in the room with him after the Blackhearts try to get through to his demons is my hope.
Just curious - what are some known examples of her “ruthlessness” as you mentioned?
