Is Susie Wiles the Most Incompetent WH Chief of Staff in modern history? [View all]

There's a bizarre consensus among the establishment press that goes something like this: Susie Wiles, Trump's second term Chief of Staff, is a serious and competent person who runs a tight ship; she's the traditional conservative face of the MAGA movement, well respected across Washington, etc. etc. The plaudits go on. The New York Times features glowing nonsense about her every few months. It's like an article of faith among the press that she's doing a bang up job.

Trump's latest insanity - reposting an amateur-hour MAGA video that depicts President Obama and First Lady Michele Obama as apes - points to the obvious counternarrative: in all aspects of a Chief of Staff's job, Susie Wiles has been singularly incompetent.

She has zero control over Trump, obviously, and no seeming ability to keep him on track or prevent him from his weekly rake-stepping activities.

She has zero control over Stephen Miller or Steven Cheung, both of whom should be walking around in terror of her. Some might say, no, they're doing what they do at her instruction, but that's unlikely and would spell even more incompetence if true.

She managed to shepherd through one piece of signature legislation with majorities in both chambers, but there's nothing on the horizon, and she has the longest shutdown in history on her resume as well. If polls are to be believed, her party may even have to spend to defend a Texas Senate seat. The Congressional operation out of 1600 seems nonexistent.

So, what does Susie Wiles actually DO?
