Trump and Wiles Are like a New Madden and Summerall
Susie Wiles seems to have taken a page from her father, Pat Summerall, in approaching her role.
Like President Trump or not, his second term is going much better for him than his first was. This time eight years ago, his presidency was in disarray, reeling from the Russiagate probe and the Senate’s rejection of ObamaCare repeal.
That’s night and day from the current administration’s early victories from the tax-and-spending megabill, immigration and universal injunctions.
Even European leaders and Ivy League universities are now heeding Trump’s demands. The president’s approval ratings are 5 percentage points higher now than at the same time in his first term, according to the RealClearPolitics aggregate poll.
Pundits have credited White House chief of staff Susie Wiles for the new administration’s winning streak. But less has been written on how Wiles, who ran Trump’s successful 2024 election campaign, has prevailed where others have failed in instilling discipline in the notoriously free-wheeling Trump operation.
A clue to understanding why the president and his chief of staff have synched so far comes from an unexpected place — the legendary NFL broadcasting duo of John Madden and Pat Summerall, who is also Wiles’s late father.

“Democratic” Socialism Is Undemocratic
By promoting class hatred, suppressing private initiative, and seeking enhanced control of our lives, today’s democratic socialists undermine patriotism and individual initiative—two qualities that have long distinguished the United States from other major nations.
