White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles used a new episode of the “Pod Force One” podcast, released Wednesday, to deliver an emphatic defense of President Donald Trump’s cabinet, calling it “an amazing group of people” working at what she described as a “superhuman pace.” Specifically, she singled out Secretary of State and interim national security adviser Marco Rubio, saying he was “born for this” and had “quickly assimilated” into his expanded national-security role. Wiles also reflected on last December’s assassination attempt against Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, saying the president’s survival was the result of “divine intervention.” She recalled that Trump looked away from the gunman to examine a presentation slide only moments before shots were fired, a turn of events she believes saved his life. The chief of staff’s rare on-the-record remarks underscore the White House effort to project unity and vigor six months into Trump’s second term, as several cabinet members—including Rubio—juggle multiple portfolios amid escalating foreign-policy crises and a demanding domestic agenda.
