    SHE has been billed as the “Ice Maiden”, the woman who would crack heads in President Donald Trump’s orbit, keep the clown car moving forward, and make the second coming of Trump run much more smoothly than the first.

    Yet, for Susie Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff, the chaos just keeps coming.

    The president’s only nominee to fail so far, Matt Gaetz, was reportedly nominated for Attorney-General after Boris Epshteyn lobbied Trump while Wiles was elsewhere.
