GET ME REWRITE: It's very clear now that White House chief of staff Susie Wiles has NO influence on First Felon Donald Trump

 

And if she has, she deserves to share a prison cell with him.

19th News, 11/6/2024

Brett Samuels writes:

It’s not clear what role Wiles’ influence will have on Trump in the White House. In an interview with Politico, Wiles said she “didn’t love” the events of January 6, 2021, when a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol following a rally during which Trump said the election had been stolen from him. But, Wiles also said, “I didn’t think he caused it.”
