Author Michael Wolff
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump is reportedly considering replacing White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, according to biographer Michael Wolff, who interprets Trump's inquiries about potential replacements as a sign she is on the way out.
- Trump has allegedly polled allies for opinions on Wiles and floated names like Stephen Miller, Randy Levine, Steve Witkoff, and Kevin McCarthy as possible successors, though Trump has denied these reports, calling them "TOTAL FAKE NEWS."
- Wolff explained that Trump’s practice of asking around about staff members usually signals impending dismissal, which can undermine the individuals involved and create a toxic work environment.
- The White House dismissed Wolff's claims, labeling him a "professional scumbag and serial liar" affected by "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
- Wolff had previously predicted Wiles would not last beyond the midterm elections, and his analysis suggests her departure is likely after November.
