前白宫副新闻秘书莎拉·马修斯周日表示，随着对苏西·怀尔斯可能在中期选举后离职的猜测，特朗普总统用副幕僚长斯蒂芬·米勒取代她的前景“令人恐惧”。
Former White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews said Sunday that the prospect of President Trump replacing chief of staff Susie Wiles with deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller was “terrifying” amid speculation Wiles will depart after the midterms.
特朗普驳斥了怀尔斯可能很快离职的报道，但马修斯告诉MeidasTouch的杰克·科恰雷拉，特朗普“对目前的情况感到不满”，看来正在把责任归咎于怀尔斯。
Trump has dismissed reporting that Wiles could soon leave her post, but Matthews told MeidasTouch‘s Jack Cocchiarella that Trump “is unhappy with the way things are right now” and appears to be blaming Wiles.
“他一直在做他最喜欢的事情，那就是到处打电话，了解人们对不同人选的看法，如果他决定要取代她的话，”马修斯说。“公开场合，他说他会继续支持苏西，但我们知道他一直在打这些电话，其中一个名字就是斯蒂芬·米勒。”“而这正是一个令人恐惧的前景，”她补充道。
“He’s been doing his favorite thing, which is calling around, seeing what people think of different names that he floats if he chooses to replace her,” Matthews said. “Publicly, he said that he’s sticking with Susie, but we know that he’s making these calls, and one of those names is Stephen Miller.”“And that is a terrifying prospect,” she added.
马修斯说，怀尔斯不是“疯子”，但指责她“纵容了本届政府的可怕行径”。“斯蒂芬·米勒是疯得离谱，”她继续说。“特朗普政府最后两年，当他因是跛脚总统而开始失控……像斯蒂芬·米勒这样的人掌权的想法是件非常可怕的事。”马修斯对科恰雷拉说，她和米勒“时有互动”，包括她在特朗普第一个任期期间，在简报会前会与前白宫新闻秘书凯莱赫·麦克纳尼一起工作。
Matthews said that Wiles is not “crazy” but accused her of being “complicit in the horrors of this administration.”“Stephen Miller is bats–t crazy,” she continued. “And the idea that in the last two years of Trump’s administration, when he’s going to be spiraling because he’s a lame-duck president … The idea of someone like a Stephen Miller in charge is a very scary thing.”Matthews told Cocchiarella that she and Miller “interacted here and there,” including when Matthews would work with former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany before briefings during Trump’s first term.
她说米勒会去麦克纳尼的办公室，“如果我们觉得需要他的指导、建议或其他什么，他就会来帮忙咨询。”前白宫幕僚长米克·穆尔瓦尼告诉NewsNation的《国会山报》周日节目，他预计怀尔斯将在中期选举后离开白宫，“不一定是因为她失去了特朗普的青睐。只是到了自然该做这种改变的时候。”特朗普说，Politico周四关于怀尔斯不久将离职的报道是“彻头彻尾的假新闻”，指责该媒体不关心“事实、诚信或诚实的新闻——这就是我把他们赶出白宫的原因！”
She said Miller would go to McEnany’s office and “help consult if we felt like we needed his guidance on something or advice or whatever it was.”Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney told NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday” that he expects Wiles to depart the White House after the midterms, “not necessarily because she’s fallen out of favor with Trump. It’s just a natural sort of time to make that change.”Trump said Politico’s reporting on Thursday about Wiles departing in the near future was “TOTAL FAKE NEWS,” accusing the outlet of not caring about “facts, integrity, or honest journalism –– it’s why I kicked them out of the White House!”
“苏西·怀尔斯是我忠诚且任职时间最长的幕僚长——这有原因，”他对Politico说。“她自一开始就一直在我身边，是我的可信顾问，并且对我有完全的信任。”特朗普周五对CNN说，怀尔斯“表现非凡”，并且将继续在白宫工作“一段时间”。怀尔斯被视为特朗普最值得信赖的顾问和知己之一，在担任他2024年竞选的共同竞选经理后，正在塑造他的第二届政府。
“Susie Wiles is my loyal and longest serving Chief of Staff — there is a reason for that,” he told Politico. “She has been with me since the beginning, is my trusted advisor, and has my COMPLETE confidence.”Trump told CNN on Friday that Wiles has “been incredible” and will be with the White House “for a long time.”Wiles is seen as one of Trump’s most trusted advisers and confidants, shaping his second administration after serving as his 2024 co-campaign manager.
今年早些时候，怀尔斯被诊断出患有乳腺癌后，特朗普称赞她是一个“了不起的人”和一个“了不起的斗士”。她在九月表示自己已经愈愈。
Following her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this year, Trump praised Wiles as an “amazing person” and an “amazing fighter.”She said in September that she was cancer free.
