He once praised her as the “ice maiden” who shepherded him to a second term in the White House, but now their relationship is getting frosty.

According to Politico, President Donald Trump has been calling up friends and allies to inquire whether it’s time for him to sack his longest-serving chief of staff, Susie Wiles, and replace her with a fresh face atop the White House totem pole.

Citing four sources with direct knowledge of the president’s conversations, the outlet reported that Trump has been floating several names for a successor to Wiles, the veteran Florida political operative who is the first woman to serve in the chief of staff position.

He reportedly has found no shortage of people willing to encourage him to dump his loyal aide overboard, with one GOP operative noting that Wiles has “burned a lot of people” in her time leading Trump’s administration.

A Republican elected official whose views have been solicited by the president said he has mused about elevating Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller or bringing in New York Yankees executive Randy Levine to run things as his top aide.

He’s also considering tapping his longtime friend turned roving peace negotiator, Steve Witkoff, as well as federal housing boss Bill Pulte. And with the possibility of a hostile Democratic-led Congress on the horizon, Trump is also raising the possibility of bringing in former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, with allies of the California Republican suggesting that McCarthy, who had a good working relationship with Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, could smooth over the inevitable tensions between Trump and a Democratic majority.,
