Once again, women working for Trump do not have any of the protection or extra chances that men do. (This is in no way meant to defend Noem/Wiles/etc...) But if your answer to "Why is the Trump admin doing X?" does not start with misogyny, racism, or both, you're usually missing the story.

Wiles has run the Office of the President better than Trump could ever have hoped for. Her skillset is known, understood, and essential. What her rumored replacements have in common is that they are men who are willing to betray their country for Trump. I don't think it more complicated than that.

My take on the supposedly sudden internal battle over the future of Susie Wiles in the White House: none of this is organic or tied to what reports are saying. Trump knows he needs a chief of staff who will help him launch a civil war sometime post-midterms, and he believes Wiles isn't that person.

Trump is mentally unfit, & it's possible that someone else at the WH is giving orders, BUT it is also true that Trump is also a sadistic monster and he has always denied personal responsibility for anything negative whenever it's convenient for him to do so.
