Susie Wiles could 'destroy' five nations, Trump alleges
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles (pictured right) could become the destroyer of nations without even leaving her desk, President Donald Trump told a crowd of supporters Thursday. Trump, who regularly talks up the smarts and influence of his to aide, lauded her with a new twist at the White House while signing resolutions to end California's mandate to phase out gasoline-powered cars and trucks. 'And Susie Wiles is here today – stand up Susie,' Trump said in the East Room, where Wiles was seated in the front row. 'The most incredible woman. Most powerful woman in the world, they say,' Trump gushed. 'She's the most – she was rated the most powerful woman in the world. Susie Wiles. One phone call and a nation is destroyed. She destroys, she could destroy five nations with five calls,' Trump quipped, earning laughs from the crowd. 'And she's doing a great job, more importantly, right? Doing a great job. Nobody like her,' Trump said. Wiles, a Florida political operative who likes to keep a low public profile, stood up and placed her hands together when Trump first praised her. Trump didn't provide any more specifics on destroying nations. But his remarks come days after he met with 'generals and admirals' at Camp David, and has spoken openly about how Iran could face a military response from Israel if it refuses to end its nuclear program. 'It looks like it's something that could very well happen,' Trump said. He ordered a bombing campaign against the Houthis in Yemen but them declared it over in May. Wiles took on another knotty conflict when she reportedly urged Elon Musk to phone Trump, helping to settle the astonishing feud between the president and the world's richest man. Wiles earned Trump's respect in part by imposing discipline during his 2024 election campaign, helping put a lid on some of the infighting that characterized his previous efforts. Trump ended up winning all seven battleground states even while facing four criminal indictments. It is Trump, not Wiles, 68, who can order up missile strikes under the chain of command – during a week when Trump saw a military demonstration at the renamed Fort Bragg, dispatched Marines and Guard troops to LA, and planned a massive military parade in DC. But she does have wide influence in Washington. A May report by Public Citizen found that several of Wiles' former lobbying clients met with White House staff at the start of the administration.
