MODERATORS
Susie Willies is the Chief of Staff of the President.
She controls his agenda. She sometimes takes decisions on his behalf.
She is one of the very few people that Donald Trump actually trusts.
In 2010, she helped healthcare businessman Rick Scott become Governor of Florida.
She went to create a corporate lobbying firm named Ballard Partners. She recruited Pam Bondi as a lobbyist for Ballard Partners.
In 2018, she helped Ron De Santis become Governor Governor of Florida.
In 2024, Susie Willies was the top campaign manager of Donald Trump.
Am I the only one that thinks 90% of the people in the clowns orbit should be put in homes for the elderly and insane?
We've got bro getting ready to fingerpaint with pudding and queen karen-de-ville realizing the voices are in the room with her.

I really hate to make a remark about appearance, but she's got mad crazy person eyes. Most of the worst people I've ever met have that same look in their eyes.
Here I was thinking I was going to get nuked, but it looks like all of you have seen this shit and have been willing to run some yellow tape.
There's always a look to it. As long as you keep in mind that it can be wrong and adjust your view of people accordingly if corrected, it's not super wrong to judge by appearances

Why should I know this
Just in case you catch her crossing the street.
Just in case you see her on a trolley track and mom said it's your turn to control the switch
For reasons. Idk if she gets SS protections but they might not be as much.
To know which boot to lick. Wait, the other thing...
I haven't seen the show, but the premise of "The Thick of It" is that the real powerful figures are staffers, not the politicians themselves.
You must! It's easily my favourite comedy show of the 00s, but if you're not a Brit you'll probably need subs, lol.
She doesn't look very strong
Are her pupils oddly dilated?
Looks like this evil preacher
I think one of those is homelander.....
Yeah, I see it. The bottom-right is just before he activates his eye lasers.
no, bottom left is after he drinks milk and realizes there's more milk.

Just a manipulative caretaker of the elderly
She works for a pedo. Yuck
Looking at this crowd of people it’s hilarious to see people actually wearing that ridiculous hat. Do people actually do this in the US? 😂
The hats are just the tip of the iceberg. Political apparel isn't anything new, but it's usually just reserved for election years. For a lot in MAGA, it's everyday. And it's not just clothing.
Driving through rural areas or small towns, the amount of Trump flags flying in front of homes today, well after the election, is staggering. Flags are what get me because I can't think of any other candidate who had their name on a flag that people actually flew alongside of or in place of the American flag. I do not remember ever seeing Bush flags, or Obama flags, or Biden flags. This is different. This idolatry is not normal.
Yes. Not even at rallies. People wear trump hats really in public. It's embarrassing

Another name for the Death Note.
Well at least Ozzie Osbourne's make up artist has still got a job
Wow! She's the real life version of Kathy Bates in Primary Colors!
Talk about an underrated movie.

Fucking hell, you'd think being the most powerful woman in the US would afford you the ability to change your name from Willies
It gives me the Trumpies.
Pretty sure I can beat her in a fight. Not so powerful now, are we??
“She controls his agenda.”
Define agenda. Are we talking meetings calendar? Because people like Putin and Peter Thiel influence what Trump actually says and does.
Controlling the meeting calendar for the president is more than just the clerical work of a personal assistant. The president works and makes decisions by meeting with people. She decides who gets access to him today. She deflects people she doesn’t think are worth his time. Over the long run she can have extraordinary influence over him and what choices he has in front of him to make. She can effectively block people she doesn’t want to have any access. Thats a lot of power for someone most people don’t know by name.
Especially since he listens to whatever someone said to him most recently.
Besides what the other commenter replied, with Trump there's a special value in controlling his agenda because often the last person he talks to will have the most sway. There have been stories about his appointees taking advantage of a rival appointee being away or in a meeting, and getting Trump to issue an order or even just tweet a position on something so it's harder to walk back when someone else gets his ear.

Friendly reminder the guy who organised lenins calendar was bloody stalin. That's a level of discretionary control over a highly powerful individual that could basically let you choose the next president.
