Trump Announces Former Big Pharma Lobbyist to Run White House Staff
The filling back up of the Washington D.C. Swamp has begun. Two days after his victory from "winning" back the Office of the President of the United States, Donald Trump made his first appointment for his new administration today, announcing that the co-chair of his campaign, Susie Wiles, will become his Chief of Staff. The President Chief of Staff is a position that does NOT have to be approved by the Senate, and is typically one of the first appointments made of a newly elected President, as this person will guide the President in choosing the rest of his staff and cabinet. This speaks volumes about who Trump is going to surround himself with in his new administration, and remaining true to his original loyalties during his first term, he went with former Big Pharma lobbyist Susie Wiles, who has previously worked as a lobbyist for some of the largest manufacturers of vaccines, including Pfizer. So who is Susie Wiles? She is someone who mostly stays behind the scenes, until today, and is called by some people the "most powerful and feared woman" in America. Liam Sturgess, writing for The Kennedy Beacon, profiled her earlier this year: "Susie Wiles Is a Lobbyist for Big Pharma. She’s Also a Key Advisor to President Trump. That’s a Problem. On April 26, former president Donald Trump revisited one of his most controversial pet projects: Operation Warp Speed. This time, he dragged his political opponent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. into the fray. 'His Views on Vaccines are FAKE, as is everything else about his Candidacy,' wrote the former president about Kennedy in a post on Truth Social. This ignited significant backlash from Trump’s base, highlighting the extent to which they disagree with him on COVID-19 vaccines. Given the increasingly vocal opposition to the COVID-19 vaccination program, including among his base, why does Trump continue to demand acclaim for his role in pushing the shots through? We find the answer in Susie Wiles, who appears to be the connective tissue between Trump and Big Pharma."
