Overview
- Online MAGA and MAHA influencers have intensified calls to fire Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, accusing her of undermining HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and pushing a corporate-friendly tilt.
- Kennedy posted a statement on X defending Wiles as a key ally to the MAHA agenda, while White House spokesman Kush Desai praised her as indispensable to President Trump’s program.
- Trump insiders quoted in reporting say Wiles is unlikely to be removed, framing the backlash as a familiar effort to pin presidential frustrations on a chief of staff.
- Critics such as Raheem Kassam link Wiles to a CNN poll showing Trump’s disapproval at 63% and fault her for a drug-pricing agreement with Pfizer plus disputed HHS personnel moves.
- New commentary from ex-GOP strategist Rick Wilson warns that Wiles is becoming MAGA’s next target and urges her to step away.
