We know her name well, but we’re not often treated to glimpses of what Susie Wiles, President Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff, is up to behind the scenes or her perspective on his presidency thus far.
Wiles recently sat down for an interview with the New York Post’s Miranda Devine and shared some of her insights on Trump 2.0, including the makeup of his Cabinet and the breakup with Elon Musk.
The full interview is available here, but the Rapid Response 47 account on X has posted some notable highlights from the sit-down with Susie:
First, she shared her reflections on the pre-presidency assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Devine noted that it’s almost been a year since then and asked if Wiles ever looks back at it and thinks that it was divine intervention.

“One hundred percent. And I think, in a candid moment, he would say so. The way the rally itself unfolded, the chart he had them put up on the screens — on the big LED boards — it was always the last chart in the rotation, and it was always on the other side. So, to have him ask for that chart eight minutes in, and to have it come on the side that is opposite, caused him to look in a different direction and lift his head just a little because it was higher. And that just doesn’t happen because it happened. It happened because, I believe, God wanted him to live.”
