Playbook: “It’s been barely three months since he left office, but former President Donald Trump is already reorganizing his nascent post-White House political operation, bringing in veteran political consultant Susie Wiles to instill order.”
“Wiles has been tasked with overseeing Trump’s fundraising operation and creating a system for issuing endorsements. Notably, she will layer over Trump’s former campaign manager Bill Stepien and deputy Justin Clark, as well as the committee of people who currently help decide endorsements. While Trump has expressed frustration with Stepien and Clark — as he has with many of his previous chiefs of staff and campaign managers — he is not firing them.”
Said one adviser of the previous arrangement: “They were just flying by the seat of their pants.”
