Trump's chief of staff vows to avoid "drama" and "second-guessing" in the White House.

Susie Wiles, the incoming White House chief of staff, stated in a Monday interview that there would be zero tolerance for "drama" or self-centered squabbling under her leadership.

Wiles, the first woman to hold the powerful role, told Axios she won't welcome showboaters into the White House, which has been plagued by leaks during President-elect Donald Trump's first term.

"Wiles stated in an email to Axios that he does not welcome individuals who desire to work alone or seek the spotlight. He and his team will not tolerate backstabbing, inappropriate second-guessing, or drama, as these behaviors are detrimental to the mission."

""Collaboration is crucial for success in the West Wing," she emphasized."

While the first Trump term had significant accomplishments, she hoped his second term would not be hindered by "impeachment attempts and other witch hunts," as she put it.

"Our congressional work is off to a fast start, with the hiring of top talent, preliminary discussions with heads of state, the refinement of his policy agenda, and the planning for the first 100 days," she informed Axios.

She states that her agenda includes "reducing regulations, lowering taxes, reducing government waste through DOGE, securing the border, and deporting illegal criminals."

Zients was commended by Wiles for his transition work, with Wiles describing him as "very professional."

Wiles' boss was critical of President Biden in an interview with Hugh Hewitt on Monday.

"They constantly discuss a smooth transition from party to party and government, but they are making it challenging by obstructing the process and spending trillions of dollars on ineffective Green New Deal initiatives."

Trump appointed Wiles as his chief of staff after her successful management of his 2024 campaign, which was praised for its discipline.

On election night, Trump and his campaign manager Chris LaCavita praised Wiles for her contributions to their successful campaign, which resulted in Trump becoming the second president in history to win non-consecutive terms.

She turned down Trump's invitation to address his supporters during his victory speech, in line with her preference to avoid the limelight.
