Final straw: Insiders say 'drained' Susie Wiles finally jumping Trump’s ship

Sources told Daily Mail on Friday that ‘Ice Maien’ Susie Wiles — President Donald Trump’s most loyal staff member — is finally melting, reports Daily Mail.

“Donald Trump's White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is preparing to leave, five insiders have told the Daily Mail. Wiles, 69, has worked for the president since his first campaign in 2015 and, following his November 2024 second election victory, has held the top chief of staff role in his White House.”

But now, reports the Daily Mail, Trump's “right-hand woman – who he has nicknamed his 'Ice Maiden' – is quietly planning her exit after November's midterm elections, notably frustrated by the President's recent Cabinet appointments,” according to sources.

When asked by the Daily Mail, Wiles did not deny that she plans to quit, but she rejected claims that it was tension with the President and his recent appointments driving her toward the exits.

However, allegedly grinding Wiles’ gears is Trump’s appointment of Florida real estate executive, and unofficial dirt digger Bill Pulte to acting Director of National Intelligence.

“Pulte was seen as a direct insult to Wiles, three White House insiders confirmed, after she is said to have 'vehemently' opposed the extraordinary step of allowing the former leader of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to now oversee all of the CIA and 16 other national agencies.

Insiders also say Trump has told confidants that he has increasingly come to resent Wiles telling him what to do, which “apparently led to his decision to promote Pulte.”

“She is loyal to Trump, but he is now basically saying, 'Look, Ma, you are not the boss of me,’” a source familiar with the strained relationship told Daily Mail.

Some of her reasons may also have to do with potentially failing health, the Mail adds.

“Visitors to Trump's inner sanctum are warned not to approach or even touch Wiles – who revealed an early-stage breast cancer diagnosis in March – because of the risk of infecting her with other illness during ongoing treatment,” said the Mail, which added that “her poor health coincides with Trump, 79, testing her iron grip on White House personnel with the appointment of ultra-MAGA loyalists whom she opposes, sources say.”

“She is getting cancer treatment and is completely drained, and now Trump is taking more and more control of the White House, which he wanted,” one White House insider said.
