Trump Says He Is Not Considering Replacing White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles
President Donald Trump has stated there is "zero chance" he is considering replacing White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, dismissing recent reports suggesting otherwise and reaffirming his complete confidence in her.
Monterey Salinas, CA, October 16, 2026 —
President Donald Trump said there is “zero chance” he is considering replacing White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, rejecting recent reports that suggested he might do so. He also reaffirmed his confidence in her, according to the information provided.
The reports Trump dismissed were not identified, and no details were provided about when or where he made the statement. The account also did not specify what prompted the reports or provide further information about their claims. Trump’s statement, as described, directly rejects the possibility that he is considering replacing Wiles.
No additional comments from Wiles or other officials were included. The information provided does not say whether the reports were based on named sources, whether the White House issued a separate statement, or whether any staffing change has been discussed beyond Trump’s denial.
Trump’s remarks reaffirm his stated confidence in Wiles while addressing speculation about her position. Beyond that denial and expression of confidence, no further details were provided about the chief of staff’s role, the circumstances surrounding the reports, or any subsequent developments. The available account therefore establishes Trump’s stated position but does not offer additional evidence about the origin or substance of the reports he rejected.
