Donald Trump Praises ‘Ice Maiden’ Susie Wiles After Historic Election Win
In a stunning political comeback, President-elect Donald Trump has officially begun preparations for his return to the Oval Office, announcing Susie Wiles as his new White House chief of staff. Wiles, who played a pivotal role in Trump’s successful 2024 campaign, has been dubbed the “ice maiden” for her cool demeanor and strategic prowess, earning high praise from the former president.
With the Republicans poised to maintain control of the House and potentially reclaim the Senate, Trump is on track to secure a trifecta of power in Washington, reminiscent of his first two years in office. This consolidation of power could significantly impact his agenda, which includes ambitious plans for mass deportation of illegal immigrants, increased trade tariffs, and extended tax cuts.
As Trump celebrated his victory, he took to Truth Social, sharing a flurry of posts that included an Electoral College map and newspaper headlines heralding his triumph over Democrat Kamala Harris. One post featured a photo of Trump in a MAGA cap, accompanied by the bold declaration: “Get ready for the Golden Age.”
Wiles, who has been instrumental in shaping Trump’s campaign strategy, is expected to be the first of many key appointments that will help push his agenda forward. Her leadership is seen as crucial as Trump aims to solidify his influence in the upcoming administration.
In addition to Wiles’ appointment, Trump appears to be on the verge of a clean sweep of swing states, with Nevada leaning in his favor and only Arizona yet to declare. This electoral success underscores the effectiveness of his campaign strategy and the loyalty of his voter base.
However, the election aftermath has not been without controversy. Reports have surfaced of racist text messages sent to individuals across several states, targeting them with threats of forced labor. New York Attorney General Letitia James condemned these messages, calling them “disgusting and unacceptable.”
As Trump prepares to take office, he faces ongoing legal challenges, including a criminal case related to the Capitol riot. Special Counsel Jack Smith has indicated that a decision on how to proceed with this case may come by December 2, as the political landscape shifts with Trump’s return to power.
In a separate development, the Justice Department recently unsealed charges related to a thwarted Iranian plot to assassinate Trump, highlighting the ongoing threats faced by high-profile political figures.
As the dust settles from the election, Trump’s supporters are rallying around him, while critics continue to voice their concerns about the implications of his policies and the potential for further division in the country. With Wiles at the helm of his administration, Trump is poised to embark on a new chapter, one that promises to be as contentious and transformative as his first term.
As the nation watches closely, the question remains: what will this new era under Trump look like, and how will it shape the future of American politics?
