Trump's Chief of Staff Susie Wiles will soon quit her high-level White House post, insiders told the Daily Mail.Wiles is preparing to quit because she was "vehemently" opposed to the promotion of Bill Pulte from the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to the role of acting Director of National Intelligence, three White House insiders told the Daily Mail.She perceived it as an "insult" when Trump followed through on the Pulte promotion, and Trump had already been starting to "resent" her opposition, the Mail reported."She is loyal to Trump, but he is now basically saying, 'Look, Ma, you are not the boss of me,'" an insider told the Mail.She's plotting an exit strategy as she's also dealing with health problems, according to the Mail. "She is getting cancer treatment and is completely drained," a White House insider told the Mail. "Now Trump is taking more and more control of the White House."According to the Mail, Wiles is expected to use the midterms as an off-ramp and could leave the White House soon after the November elections. Wiles has been working with Trump since his first campaign in 2016 and has held the chief of staff role since his reelection, the Mail noted.

A CNN reporter pointed out that President Donald Trump seemed displeased ahead of his event Friday night in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.Jeff Zeleny, CNN's chief national affairs correspondent, was traveling with the president and other reporters and commented that Trump was not too thrilled as he headed to the Midwest battleground state to discuss his economic agenda among struggling farmers and the agriculture community.Trump was slated to speak at a roundtable at 4 p.m. ET, but was late to take the stage, Zeleny explained."There is no doubt the president is a bit delayed here," Zeleny said. "He's been doing an interview, we're told, with NBC News on "Meet the Press." He came out and delivered some familiar criticism of the press. We will see what else he says during this. He does not seem to be in a very good mood, but at this point, we should point out so much criticism is coming from Republicans about the qualifications of Bill Pulte."Both Republicans and Democrats had expressed concern over Trump's naming of Pulte as the new acting head of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Pulte, who does not have any known national security experience, was reportedly planning to execute sweeping personnel cuts across the nation's 18 federal intelligence agencies and units before a permanent successor is confirmed.
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles put out a statement on X on Friday in reaction to reporting from the Daily Mail that she was expected to leave the Trump administration soon."After an accomplishment filled week by President Trump, I have the pleasure of reading a piece of Friday fiction, courtesy of the Daily Mail," wrote Wiles. "To be crystal clear, I am not going anywhere. I am honored and proud to serve President Trump, proud of our team and remain fully committed to advancing his agenda on behalf of the American people."Wiles took an additional swipe at the press in her statement, saying, "Some in the media have spent a decade trying to manufacture drama around President Trump and people who work for him. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now.""See you Monday," she added.According to the original reporting, Wiles, who prior to serving in the White House was a notorious campaign strategist for various Republican figures in Florida, was enraged at Trump's decision to give the Director of National Intelligence office to Federal Housing Finance Agency chief Bill Pulte, a scandal-plagued, hardcore partisan with no qualifications for the intelligence community.A number of Republicans in the Senate have expressed criticism of the decision to hand the role to Pulte, with Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) telling NOTUS Senate reporter Igor Bobic he has "serious concerns."
