Trump Denies Reports That He Was Considering Firing Susie Wiles

President Donald Trump on Friday rejected suggestions that he might remove Susie Wiles from her post as White House Chief of Staff, telling reporters there was "zero chance" of it happening. He dismissed the coverage as invented and said she would remain in the job for a long time, according to Daily Caller.

The coverage came from Politico's Playbook newsletter, which asserted that the president had been sounding out allies about how they viewed Wiles and talking informally about who might succeed her. Trump said his staff had gone back to the outlet and told it the account was entirely mistaken, and he accused the press of publishing it while aware it was false.

Trump spoke warmly of Wiles, describing her as smart and tough and crediting her with helping run what he called possibly the most successful stretch of any presidency, even though it has not yet reached two years. He also noted she had recently come through cancer surgery and was fully recovered. Trump disclosed her breast cancer diagnosis on Truth Social in March 2026, and Wiles said in September 2026 that she had recovered, thanking the president for his steady support.
