特朗普总统推走的大多数高级官员都有一个共同点。发布时间：2026-11-10T21:06:49Z七名离开特朗普政府的高级女性官员拼贴图，背景为黑色。
The Scapegals Most of the top officials President Trump has pushed out have one thing in common. Published: 2026-11-10T21:06:49Z A collage of seven senior female officials who have left the Trump administration in front of a black background.
苏西·怀尔斯本应不可触动。她自特朗普首次竞选白宫起就与他同行。在1月6日美国国会山遭袭击后，她是为数不多留在身边的人之一，当时几乎所有人都认为特朗普的政治生涯已成过去。而过去两年担任他的幕僚长，她一直是特朗普政府急需的稳定力量。但怀尔斯——在共和党中期选举惨败后，特朗普上周将其解职——很可能至少有一个不利因素：她的第二条X染色体。
Susie Wiles should have been untouchable. She’d been with President Trump since his first bid for the White House. She was one of the few people who’d stuck around after the January 6 attacks on the U.S. Capitol, when just about everyone else thought his political career was over. And as his chief of staff for the past two years, she was a stabilizing force in an administration that sorely needed one. But Wiles—whom Trump jettisoned last week after Republicans’ devastating midterm losses—likely had at least one thing working against her: that second X chromosome.
自回到白宫以来，特朗普克制了第一任期内的频繁解职，但他对不令其满意的女性高级政府官员表现出了非凡的抛弃意愿。上周五斯蒂芬·米勒被突然提拔为幕僚长，怀尔斯加入了这个最不令人羡慕的队伍——替罪女郎。
Since returning to the White House, Trump has refrained from the firing sprees of his first term, but he has shown a remarkable willingness to discard his female senior administration officials when they displease him. With the abrupt elevation of Stephen Miller to chief of staff last Friday, Wiles joined that most unenviable troop—The Scapegals.
包括怀尔斯在内，特朗普本届任期内已解雇或推走至少半打女性高级官员，包括司法部长帕姆·邦迪、劳工部长洛丽·查韦斯-德雷默、国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德、国土安全部长克里斯蒂·诺姆和白宫新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚。（扎卡里亚在白宫讲台上宣布希腊大使金伯利·吉尔福伊尔离任——这成了她分享的唯一消息，结果仅三天后，她本人也被立即解职。）
Including Wiles, Trump has fired or pushed out at least half a dozen top women this term, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia. (Zacharia announced the departure of Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle from the White House podium—the only news she would share, it turned out—a mere three days before she, too, was summarily dismissed.)
其他高级女性官员也已离开——包括此前担任新闻秘书的卡罗琳·利维特，以及曾在司法部负责民权司的哈米特·迪隆等人——不过她们是自行离开。大多数被迫离开的高级女性官员此后已被男性取代。
Other senior women have also left—Karoline Leavitt, who preceded Zacharia as press secretary, and Harmeet Dhillon, who ran the Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department, among others—albeit on their own terms. Most of the senior women who were forced out have since been replaced by men.
当针对特朗普的厌女指控出现时——就像在他两个任期中经常发生的那样——他的辩护者们总是迅速声称，他是个机会均等的冒犯者，攻击一位白人男性记者的可能性，与攻击一位有色人种女性记者一样大。但这一次，反例很难找到。被抛弃的少数高级男性之一是迈克·沃尔茨，特朗普的第一任国家安全顾问，他在“信号门”事件后，不足四个月就被解雇了。
When charges of misogyny pop up against Trump, as they have with regularity in both of his terms, his defenders are quick to claim that he is an equal-opportunity offender who is just as likely to attack, say, a white male journalist as he is a female reporter of color. But this time, counterexamples are hard to find. One of the few senior men to have been jettisoned is Mike Waltz, Trump’s first national security adviser, who was binned after less than four months, following his Signalgate mishap . (He ended up with a cushy consolation prize: ambassador to the United Nations.)
（他最终得到了一个舒服的安慰奖：联合国大使。）被抛弃的几位女性，可以说，履历并不光彩。扎卡里亚——未能通过加州律师资格考试，却反复自称是律师——在讲台上首次亮相灾难性之后，仅上任五天就被解雇。（这不到“全斯卡拉穆奇”的一半——这是安东尼·斯卡拉穆奇11天任期的绰号，他在特朗普第一任期内是一位昙花一现的传播总监。）
A number of the discarded women had, shall we say, less than illustrious records. Zacharia—who failed the California bar yet repeatedly referred to herself as a lawyer—was fired after five days on the job following a disastrous debut at the podium. (That’s less than half of a Full Scaramucci—the nickname for the 11-day tenure of Anthony Scaramucci, a fleeting supernova of a communications director during Trump’s first term.)
与此同时，诺姆在明尼阿波利斯主持了移民执法人员杀害两名美国人的事件，并花纳税人的钱做花哨的广告，同时据称听从她传闻中的男友科里·莱万多夫斯基（两人都一再否认有染）的意见，让他处理国土安全部的大部分日常运作。邦迪方面，似乎将最高司法职位视为特朗普的私人解囊者。（具有讽刺意味的是，特朗普最终的沮丧并非在于她执行他的指令走得太远，而是在于她没有走得足够远。）
Noem, meanwhile, presided over the killing of two Americans by immigration-enforcement officers in Minneapolis and spent taxpayer dollars on glitzy commercials, all while allegedly deferring to her rumored boyfriend, Corey Lewandowski (both have repeatedly denied an affair), to handle much of the Department of Homeland Security’s day-to-day operations. Bondi, for her part, seemed to view the top Justice post as that of Trump’s personal fixer. (Ironically, Trump’s ultimate frustration was not that she went too far in doing his bidding, but that she didn’t go far enough.)
查韦斯-德雷默今年早些时候离职，当时她面临着在工作中饮酒以及与安保人员一名成员有染的指控，还有至少两名女性员工指控她的丈夫性侵了她们。（查韦斯-德雷默的丈夫已通过律师否认这些指控，警方对这些报告的调查此后已结案。）正如我所说：这些记录很难辩护。但在诺姆-邦迪双双离职之时——诺姆三月离开，邦迪四月离开——一位特朗普政府官员告诉我，政府冒着只解雇“有吸引力”的女性，却让特朗普的顶级男性官员留任的风险。
And Chavez-DeRemer, who left earlier this year, did so amid allegations of drinking on the job and an affair with a member of her security detail, as well as accusations from at least two female staff members that her husband had sexually assaulted them. (Chavez-DeRemer’s husband has denied the accusations through an attorney, and the police investigation of the reports has since been closed.) Like I said: These records are hard to defend. But even at the time of the Noem-Bondi double exit—Noem left in March, Bondi in April—a Trump official told me the administration risked the appearance of firing only “attractive” women , while allowing Trump’s top men to remain.
现在，说说那些男性。列举特朗普许多顶级男性官员的各种过错和失误并不特别困难，在大多数其他政府中，这些行为本应引发严肃反思，甚至直接解雇。国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯——在成为五角大楼负责人之前，从未管理过规模超过约100人的组织——是政府不受欢迎的对伊朗战争的面孔和头号啦啦队长，这场战争帮助毁掉了共和党中期选举的前景。
Now, about those men. It is not particularly difficult to list various sins and missteps involving many of Trump’s top male officials that, in most other administrations, would be grounds for serious reflection, if not outright dismissal. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth—who had not managed an organization larger than about 100 before becoming the Pentagon chief—is the face and top cheerleader for the administration’s unpopular war in Iran, which helped doom Republicans’ midterm chances.
联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔因涉嫌滥用联邦调查局飞机、在米兰奥运会上与美国男子冰球队畅饮啤酒的病毒式视频，以及利用联邦调查局资源将女朋友带到全国各地而登上不良头条。政府中似乎很少有人对商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克有好话说，他们私下抱怨他是特朗普最令人讨厌的伙伴，并且他在贸易谈判中搞砸了，削弱了政府关于杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的信息传递。
FBI Director Kash Patel generated bad headlines for alleged misuse of an FBI jet, for a viral video of him chugging beers with the U.S. men’s hockey team at the Olympics in Milan, and for using FBI resources to ferry his girlfriend around the country. And few people in the administration seem to have anything good to say about Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, whom they privately gripe about as Trump’s most annoying buddy and who has bungled trade negotiations and undercut the administration’s messaging on Jeffrey Epstein.
特朗普一直支持他们所有人。阅读：女王之王“特朗普在第二任期内对掌权女性的耐心要短得多，”特朗普第一任期的副新闻秘书莎拉·马修斯告诉我。“我不是说克里斯蒂·诺姆和一些这些女性不值得被解雇，但我认为有些男性没有受到同样的标准约束。他愿意解雇谁、不愿意解雇谁，这差异相当明显。”
Trump has stood by them all. Read: The king of queens “Donald Trump has demonstrated a much shorter fuse with women in power during the second administration,” Sarah Matthews, a deputy press secretary in Trump’s first administration, told me. “I’m not saying Kristi Noem and some of these women don’t deserve to be fired, but I think some of the men are not being held to the same standard. And it’s a pretty glaring disparity of who he’s willing to fire and who he’s not.”
马修斯在1月6日袭击事件后辞职，现为《布尔瓦克》撰稿人，她说她归咎于厌女症，但也认为特朗普常常与受到攻击的男性产生共鸣。（缅因州原本的民主党参议院候选人面临包括强奸在内的性侵指控，马修斯指出，带着一丝夸张地说，“特朗普是美国唯一为格雷厄姆·普拉特纳辩护的人”，直到他退选。）斯蒂芬妮·格里沙姆——曾任白宫传播主任，也曾担任梅拉尼娅·特朗普的幕僚长——在2021年《华盛顿邮报》的一篇评论文章中讲述，在她告诉特朗普，她的前男友、一名白宫同事曾对她实施身体虐待后，总统表示惊讶。
Matthews, who resigned after the January 6 attacks and now is a contributor at The Bulwark , said she blames misogyny, but also thinks that Trump often identifies with men under fire. (When Maine’s original Democratic Senate candidate faced allegations of sexual assault, including rape, Matthews noted, with a touch of exaggeration, that “Trump was the only person in America defending Graham Platner” before he dropped out.) Stephanie Grisham—a former White House communications director who also served as chief of staff to Melania Trump—recounted in a 2021 Washington Post op-ed that after she told Trump that her ex-boyfriend, a fellow White House staffer, had been physically abusive, the president expressed surprise.
他和第一夫人都没有跟进，而她说自己也告诉了第一夫人。尽管格里沙姆在文章中没有点名她指控的施暴者，但她指的是俄亥俄州众议员马克斯·米勒，他当时已成为总统的副竞选经理，并在格里沙姆向总统夫妇透露此事后保留了职位。米勒此后被其前妻埃米莉·莫雷诺指控实施家庭暴力，并且上周输掉了连任竞选。
Neither he nor the first lady, whom she said she’d also told, ever followed up. Though Grisham did not name her alleged abuser in her essay, she was referring to Representative Max Miller of Ohio, who had become the president’s deputy campaign manager and kept his role despite Grisham’s disclosure to the first couple. Miller has since been accused of domestic violence by his now-ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and he lost his reelection bid last week.
当我就此报道联系白宫时，新闻办公室回复了一份特朗普提升到高级职位的九名女性名单，包括威尔斯（首位女性幕僚长）和利维特（有史以来最年轻的新闻秘书，也是首位在任内生育的新闻秘书）。一名官员还指出，加巴德既没有被解雇，也没有被迫辞职，而是因为她丈夫被诊断出患有罕见的骨癌而离职。白宫发言人泰勒·罗杰斯在一份声明中表示，该政府是一个精英统治体制，由致力于为美国人民服务的人组成。
When I reached out to the White House for this story, the press office sent back a list of nine women whom Trump had elevated to senior positions, including Wiles (the first female chief of staff) and Leavitt (the youngest press secretary ever, as well as the first one to give birth while serving in the role). An official also noted that Gabbard was neither fired nor forced to resign, but left because her husband was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer. In a statement, the White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers argued that the administration was a meritocracy, filled by people focused on delivering for the American people.
“与痴迷于身份政治的民主党不同，总统根据个人的才能和资历来评判，而不是根据不可改变的特征，”罗杰斯写道。
“Unlike the identity-politics-obsessed Democrats, the President judges individuals on merit and qualifications, not immutable characteristics,” Rogers wrote.
我也给特朗普内阁中仍在任的三位女性——小企业管理局局长凯利·勒夫勒、教育部长琳达·麦克马洪、农业部长布鲁克·罗林斯——发了电子邮件，询问她们对这些高调离职的女性官员有何看法，并想了解她们为何能一直待到现在。三个机构的新闻办公室都回复了。罗林斯方面提供的一份声明中，她批评“将每一次人事变动都变成性别故事的不断努力”，并指出特朗普“将女性提升到了政府最高层级之一”。
I also emailed the trio of women—Small Business Administration chief Kelly Loeffler, Education Secretary Linda McMahon, and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins—who remain in Trump’s Cabinet , to ask what they made of the high-profile-female departures, and see if they had any insights into why they had managed to survive for so long. The press offices of all three agencies wrote back. In a statement provided on her behalf, Rollins criticized “the constant effort to turn every personnel change into a gender story,” noting that Trump “has elevated women to some of the highest levels of government.”
她补充说，“作为一名女性，没有比与特朗普总统并肩为美国优先而战更让我愿意的了。”小企业管理局新闻秘书安德鲁·尼克松也表示，勒夫勒很荣幸能担任特朗普的高级官员之一。“特朗普总统根据才能和业绩任用人员，而非基于性别、种族或任何其他社会身份，”尼克松写道。教育部发言人埃伦·基斯特则简单写道：“《大西洋月刊》连‘女性’是什么都定义不了，却毫无顾忌地为了标题炒作性别歧视。”
She added that, “as a woman, there is no one I would rather fight with to put Americans first than President Trump.”Andrew Nixon, the press secretary for the SBA, similarly said that Loeffler was proud to serve as one of Trump’s top officials. “President Trump hires based on talent and merit, not on gender, race, or any other social identity,” Nixon wrote. And the Department of Education spokesperson Ellen Keast wrote, simply, “ The Atlantic cannot even define what a woman is but has no issue extorting sexism for a headline.”
特朗普政府的机构并不总是对记者的询问反应迅速，但在这个话题上，三个机构都异常及时。毕竟，作为特朗普内阁中仅剩的三位女性之一，她们理应做一名快乐的战士，始终紧扣口径。
Trump agencies are not always particularly responsive to reporter inquiries, but on this topic, all three were unusually prompt. After all, when you are one of a trio of women remaining in Trump’s Cabinet, it makes sense to be a happy warrior, relentlessly on message.
