But by 2 p.m., she has typically parked herself a few feet from Trump for a daily five-hour marathon in his office, the former Mar-a-Lago bridal suite.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president is a night owl, and I\u2019m an early bird, so the sweet spot is 2 to 7,\u201d she said in a recent interview.<\/p>\n<p>As Elon Musk and staff members file in and out, Wiles and the president-elect go over plans for Trump II: executive orders for Day 1. Deportations. A massive border, energy and tax cut bill. Upcoming congressional hearings for Cabinet nominees. And more stacks of appointments. \u201cIt\u2019s everything from who wants to be the ambassador to Portugal to what kind of deputy does Marco need?\u201d  Wiles said, referring to Sen. Marco Rubio, Trump\u2019s choice to be secretary of state.<\/p>\n<p>Her goal is to have 2,000 out of 11,000 appointments done by the Jan. 20 inaugural. There were only 25 completed by the first Trump inaugural in 2017, when Wiles was not in the administration. Chaos reigned over four years in the West Wing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I\u2019ve heard,\u201d said Wiles, whom the president-elect calls the \u201cIce Maiden\u201d for her coolheaded nature. This time, she said, \u201cI feel pretty comfortable that I can instill order at the staff level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president-elect is another matter. Wiles, 67, the first woman to hold one of the most important and precarious jobs in Washington, will move in less than two weeks into the large West Wing office once inhabited by the powerful James A. Baker III during the Reagan administration \u2014 and also the four men defeated in the position in Trump\u2019s first term.<\/p>\n<p>The question is whether Wiles will be able to handle the combustible Trump in the White House and survive.<\/p>\n<p>She last worked in the federal government in Washington more than four decades ago as a 23-year-old White House scheduler and then at the Labor Department when Baker \u2014 she still calls him \u201cMr. Baker\u201d \u2014 was chief of staff. She is a new student of foreign and national security policy in a job of cascading international crises. \u201cHeck, yeah,\u201d she said when asked if she was nervous about the job.<\/p>\n<p>She has told Trump that it is her intention, at least, to stay all four years as chief of staff. \u201cThis job is not guaranteed,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I\u2019m going to try my best and give it everything I have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The widespread view in Trump World is that Wiles has a better chance than anyone of making it work. A veteran political strategist and lobbyist who ran Trump\u2019s 2024 campaign with a disciplined hand, she has lasted a remarkable eight years in the president-elect\u2019s circle. Today, she is by far his closest aide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first person he talked to in the beginning of the day was Susie, and the last person he talked to at night was Susie,\u201d said Chris LaCivita, who ran the campaign with Wiles. \u201cIt\u2019s a level of trust and a degree of comfort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wiles has already tried to control the mayhem. In a memo late last month, she warned all members of the new administration that none of them speak for the United States or Trump and ordered them to get approval from the incoming national security adviser and White House counsel before any preinaugural contacts with foreign officials.<\/p>\n<p>Her words would seem to include Musk, the tech billionaire and leader of a new Department of Government Efficiency, who since 2022 has been in regular contact with President Vladimir Putin of Russia, according to The Wall Street Journal. In November, Musk caused a commotion when he met with Iran\u2019s ambassador to the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other Trump aides, Wiles abhors attention and notably begged off speaking on election night when Trump summoned her to the microphone.<\/p>\n<p>But behind the self-effacing demeanor, allies of Wiles said, is a woman who can wield a scalpel. Political operatives still talk about her stealth role in helping to torpedo Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, a man she helped elect and then fell out with, in last year\u2019s presidential primaries.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-susie-what-do-you-think\"><b>\u2018Susie, What Do You Think?\u2019 <\/b><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1745\" src=\"https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/susie-wiles-working-67802ce58c2ee-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Ms. Wiles at Mar-a-Lago last year. \" class=\"wp-image-32609151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/susie-wiles-working-67802ce58c2ee-scaled.jpg?width=200 200w, https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/susie-wiles-working-67802ce58c2ee-scaled.jpg?width=300 300w, https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/susie-wiles-working-67802ce58c2ee-scaled.jpg?width=400 400w, https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/susie-wiles-working-67802ce58c2ee-scaled.jpg?width=500 500w, https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/susie-wiles-working-67802ce58c2ee-scaled.jpg?width=600 600w, https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/susie-wiles-working-67802ce58c2ee-scaled.jpg?width=700 700w, https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/susie-wiles-working-67802ce58c2ee-scaled.jpg?width=800 800w, https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/susie-wiles-working-67802ce58c2ee-scaled.jpg?width=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ms. Wiles at Mar-a-Lago last year. Friends say that she compartmentalizes the good and the bad about Mr. Trump, and picks her battles.<i> \u2013 Doug Mills \/ The New York Times<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In person, dressed in black pants and a black leather blazer that gave her a vaguely edgy air, Wiles projected nothing more than a friendly, crisp competence. She was decorous and modest as she spoke for nearly two hours in her office in the transition headquarters, hidden away in a dreary building off Interstate 95, a world away from the gilt of Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never heard her raise her voice, ever,\u201d said Roger Stone, a longtime Trump adviser who has known Wiles for 30 years. \u201cWhen you do something that displeases her, and you\u2019ve made a mistake, you\u2019ll get a one-sentence message from her: \u2018Do you think you were helping when you did this?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Friends say that Wiles, who in 2016 described herself as a \u201ccard-carrying member of the GOP establishment,\u201d compartmentalizes the good and the bad about Trump and picks her battles. She does not blame him for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t believe that he went to the Ellipse that day and said, \u2018I\u2019m going to cause riots in the Capitol, and people are going to do destruction, and somebody is going to get hurt and die,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cNever, never did he think that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also thinks Trump has changed since 2017.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the stories I hear about the first term, I can\u2019t even conceive of that Donald Trump,\u201d Wiles said. \u201cNow, that doesn\u2019t mean he doesn\u2019t get mad, and that doesn\u2019t mean he isn\u2019t tough. And it\u2019s hard to get him to \u2018yes\u2019 sometimes. But I think he\u2019s different, and the organization will have different sensibilities than it had in the first term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether Trump is a new man is a matter of some dispute, and Wiles might appear to be engaged in wishful thinking, or varnishing. At a news conference Tuesday, an aggrieved Trump did not rule out using military force to reclaim the Panama Canal or acquire Greenland. His Christmas message to 37 death row inmates after Biden commuted their sentences was \u201cGO TO HELL!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wiles, the daughter of Pat Summerall, an NFL kicker and celebrated sports broadcaster who was by his own account an alcoholic, has long had a reputation for tolerating and navigating famous, swashbuckling men.<\/p>\n<p>Summerall, who died in 2013, wrote in his autobiography that it was a letter from Wiles read at a 1992 intervention, a gathering of family and friends to persuade him to seek help, that made him agree to treatment at the Betty Ford Center. \u201cDad, the few times we\u2019ve been out in public together recently,\u201d Wiles wrote, \u201cI\u2019ve been ashamed we shared the same last name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Allies of Wiles said she has no illusions that she can manage Trump. But she does have an effect on the man who regularly asks, \u201cSusie, what do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She pushed Trump to embrace mail-in voting in 2024 after he denounced it in 2020. She had a major hand in bringing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. into the campaign. She encouraged Trump to make peace with Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia after years of conflict, which she told Trump would help him win the state. She hired many of Trump\u2019s lawyers, and made sure they were paid, for the four indictments and 91 felony counts he faced last year.<\/p>\n<p>At campaign rallies, she told the candidate to talk about the economy. \u201cHe\u2019d be like, \u2018This economic stuff, people don\u2019t really care about it,\u2019\u201d said Tony Fabrizio, Trump\u2019s chief pollster. \u201cAnd she\u2019s like, \u2018They care about it. This is what will win us the election.\u2019 She\u2019d go right back at him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More recently, she has wired herself to Congress. Last week, she was on the phone with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene just before Speaker Mike Johnson was reelected to the top post in the House, as Trump wanted. \u201cShe called me and provided her view of what was going on on the House floor,\u201d Wiles said.<\/p>\n<p>After Trump\u2019s blowup of a congressional budget deal threatened a government shutdown the week before Christmas, Wiles was an advocate for the stopgap spending bill that eventually passed to keep the money flowing until March.<\/p>\n<p>Wiles insists she is not concerned about Trump\u2019s most provocative Cabinet picks, including Pete Hegseth, his choice to run the Defense Department. Hegseth, a military veteran who is facing sexual assault allegations, which he has denied, has no experience leading an agency of nearly 3 million people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what staff is for,\u201d Wiles said briskly. \u201cIt\u2019s our obligation to give him people that understand the business of national defense.\u201d To Wiles, Hegseth is one of Trump\u2019s desired \u201cdisrupters\u201d of the status quo, just like his choice of Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence and Kennedy as the secretary of health and human services.<\/p>\n<p>The president-elect, she said, \u201cwould rather have a disrupter at the top and buttress the disrupter with people who know the business or the agency. That\u2019s the idea. And so if you think of it that way, it explains all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-football-and-a-job-with-jack-kemp\"><b>Football and a Job With Jack Kemp <\/b><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wiles-67802d57b00cd-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Susie Wiles\" class=\"wp-image-32609184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wiles-67802d57b00cd-scaled.jpg?width=200 200w, https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wiles-67802d57b00cd-scaled.jpg?width=300 300w, https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wiles-67802d57b00cd-scaled.jpg?width=400 400w, https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wiles-67802d57b00cd-scaled.jpg?width=500 500w, https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wiles-67802d57b00cd-scaled.jpg?width=600 600w, https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wiles-67802d57b00cd-scaled.jpg?width=700 700w, https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wiles-67802d57b00cd-scaled.jpg?width=800 800w, https:\/\/bdc2020.o0bc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/wiles-67802d57b00cd-scaled.jpg?width=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ms. Wiles first met Mr. Trump in 2015, when she was recommended to him as someone who could help him win Florida.<i> \u2013 Christopher Lee for The New York Times<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Wiles first got into politics through her father\u2019s world of football.<\/p>\n<p>She was born during the offseason in May 1957 in Lake City, Florida, where her father farmed acres of watermelon when he wasn\u2019t playing for the Chicago Cardinals. By 1958, when he had been traded to the New York Giants, Wiles lived from September through December, like other Giants families, in the fading Concourse Plaza Hotel in the Bronx, three blocks from Yankee Stadium, where the Giants played at the time. \u201cFootball players didn\u2019t get paid well then,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>It was not until her father retired from the Giants and began a 40-year career as a sports broadcaster that the money flowed in. By 1964, he was already making $75,000 a year, a big salary at the time, as the sports director of WCBS radio. The family \u2014 Wiles and two younger brothers \u2014 moved to a big house in Stamford, Connecticut, and later to Saddle River, New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>But by Summerall\u2019s own account, his drinking raged as he spent his life on the road, leaving Wiles\u2019 mother to raise a family largely on her own. \u201cMy mother was a saint,\u201d Wiles said.<\/p>\n<p>The drinking took its toll. \u201cI watched it really, really hurt my mom,\u201d Wiles said. \u201cThat\u2019s the way it affected me the most.\u201d Overall, she said, it was \u201ckind of a gray cloud all the time. But then, unlike a lot of people, he had periods of sobriety. And so you kind of get used to that reality, and then you go back to the other reality. Not easy. But in some ways, it\u2019s kind of character-building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wiles went on to the University of Maryland, where she worked while still in school as a low-level staff member for Rep. Jack Kemp of New York, one of her father\u2019s closest friends from the Giants. From there, she went to the Reagan campaign and the White House.<\/p>\n<p>She met Trump years later. In 2015, shortly after Trump announced his bid for president, he asked Brian Ballard, a powerful Florida lobbyist and Republican fundraiser, for the names of political operatives to help him win the state.<\/p>\n<p>Ballard recommended Wiles, who had settled in Jacksonville, Florida, after her 1984 marriage to Lanny Wiles, a former head of the Reagan White House advance team. Over three decades, Susie Wiles had raised two daughters, worked for a succession of Jacksonville mayors, run Rick Scott\u2019s successful campaign for governor and opened the Jacksonville office of the Ballard Partners lobbying firm.<\/p>\n<p>Wiles met with Trump in September 2015 in New York, where they talked about the campaign and, briefly, her father, whom Trump had known slightly. \u201cWe had a nice chat,\u201d she said. \u201cIt ended with him saying, \u2018I don\u2019t think I need to do anything in Florida yet,\u2019 and me saying, \u2018Well, if not now, soon.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, Wiles told stunned friends that Trump, viewed at the time as a joke, had political talents and a private charm different from his public bombast. She thought he could be president.<\/p>\n<p>John Delaney, one of the Jacksonville mayors Wiles had helped elect and served as chief of staff, warned her about signing on. \u201cI thought it would follow her for the rest of her life,\u201d he said. \u201cI didn\u2019t think he had a prayer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Trump won the 2016 election and Florida, Wiles helped Ballard set up a Washington office rather than join the new administration. She kept an apartment in the city\u2019s West End and lobbied for a tobacco company, Swisher International, based in Jacksonville. She also did strategy work for General Motors, among others.<\/p>\n<p>She and Lanny Wiles divorced in 2017, and the next year, she took over DeSantis\u2019 then-foundering campaign for governor. After he won, DeSantis and his wife, Casey, abruptly banished her in an episode that shocked political Florida.<\/p>\n<p>In the telling of DeSantis\u2019 allies, Wiles was leaking and empire-building, something she has adamantly denied, after the new governor gave her the job of setting up his Tallahassee office and political operation. In the telling of Wiles\u2019 allies, she was doing what was necessary to promote DeSantis\u2019 national profile. Either way, it was catastrophic for her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t just banished,\u201d she said in the interview. \u201cHe did his level best to make me unemployed. I mean, it was a vicious, all-out, frontal attack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019 team went so far, multiple allies of Wiles said, as to tell Wiles\u2019 Ballard clients that if they continued to employ her, they would not be welcome in his office at the Capitol. A spokesperson for DeSantis declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p>Wiles managed to keep some clients, but by September 2019, she announced she was leaving Ballard because of a \u201cnagging health issue.\u201d She did not reemerge in politics until the summer of 2020, when Trump, against the advice of DeSantis, brought her into his reelection campaign to help him win Florida.<\/p>\n<p>The embrace helped seal her loyalty to Trump. \u201cTrump gave her back her Good Housekeeping seal of approval,\u201d Fabrizio said.<\/p>\n<p>After Trump lost the election and was in exile after the Jan. 6 attacks, he asked Wiles if she could come to Mar-a-Lago and untangle his campaign finances. Wiles \u2014 who despite all available evidence believes that \u201cthere was sufficient fraud in a number of states, and that fraud likely cost the president the election in 2020\u201d \u2014 said yes. She was still working for Ballard at the time and in 2022 switched to lobbying for Mercury Public Affairs.<\/p>\n<p>But effectively, she never left Trump. By 2023, when DeSantis was Trump\u2019s main rival for the Republican nomination, Wiles and her team were pursuing him with vigor.
