Susie Wiles, Trump’s incoming Chief of Staff, is implementing strategic measures to enhance the effectiveness of his anticipated second term, drawing from lessons learned during his first administration.

Moving away from the previous term’s challenges of internal discord and resistance to the America First agenda, Wiles shared her comprehensive strategy with Axios, outlining specific approaches to strengthen the next administration.

The veteran Republican strategist from Florida emphasized key priorities, including careful personnel selection that prioritizes team players over individual ambitions. She stressed the importance of maintaining a unified front, eliminating internal conflicts, and leveraging Trump’s deepened understanding of Washington’s political machinery.

“President Trump knows much more about the way the Washington institutions work, especially the need to have people who are serving be both competent and loyal. He has taken a keen interest in personnel and has personally interviewed and hired all the Cabinet and many sub-Cabinet hires,” Wiles told Axios.

She continued, “President Trump 47 will have the finest public servants available with great work ethic, a demonstrated ability to break down bureaucratic walls to help hold the bloated federal workforce accountable, have fealty to the conservative and common-sense principles that President Trump ran — and won — on, and be determined to make a difference during their time serving. We are cognizant of a turning clock — much to do.”

Expressing optimism about reduced opposition, Wiles noted, “I have every hope that the 47 administration will not have the same number of attempts to put sand in the gears. We are off to a fast start with congressional work, hiring the best people, preliminary discussion with heads of state, fine-tuning his policy agenda, and planning for the first 100 days.”

The administration’s immediate priorities include strengthening American energy independence, reducing bureaucratic regulations, implementing tax reductions, eliminating government inefficiencies, and reinforcing border security measures.
