Trump Insider Spills on ‘Terrifying’ Ice Maiden Replacement Rumor
MANDEL NGAN / AFP via Getty Images A former Trump aide is sounding the alarm about who could replace the president’s White House chief of staff.
Sarah Matthews was a deputy press secretary during Donald Trump’s first term.
On Sunday, she told MeidasTouch that the president seems to be turning on his Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles.
“It seems like Trump is unhappy with the way things are right now and the headlines and the way his administration is going, so he is seeming to blame Susie Wiles.” Matthews, 31, told host Jack Cocchiarella.
“She’s kind of on the outs, and he’s been doing his favorite thing, which is calling around, seeing what people think of different names that he floats,” she said.
“He said that he’s sticking with Susie, but we know that he’s making these calls.
And one of those names is Stephen Miller.” Politico Playbook reported Thursday that Trump has been sounding out confidants about Wiles, 69, and asking who could replace her.
Besides Miller, the president reportedly floated special envoy Steve Witkoff, housing chief Bill Pulte, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and Yankees president Randy Levine as possible successors .
The report set off a catfight as Wiles and her allies scrambled to shore up her position.
Matthews didn’t mince her words about what a Miller promotion would mean for America.
“That is a terrifying prospect, because I think that Susie Wiles, while she is complicit in the horrors of this administration, I don’t think she’s crazy,” Matthews said.
“Stephen Miller is bats--t crazy.” “In the last two years of Trump’s administration, when he’s going to be spiraling because he’s a lame duck president, I think he’s going to pardon everyone at the end.
So he thinks he can get away with murder,” she added.
“The idea of someone like a Stephen Miller in charge is a very scary thing.” But Trump insists he isn’t looking for a replacement.
