President Donald Trump<\/a> praised White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles as “winning it decisively” in her battle with cancer after she revealed she was diagnosed nine weeks ago while accepting a major award Thursday night.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s been especially inspiring to see her courage and toughness in recent weeks, and she\u2019s been winning a battle with cancer and winning it decisively,” Trump said in a pre-recorded video message. “It was an early diagnosis, so she\u2019s going to be in great shape.”<\/p>\n

Wiles said during an onstage conversation that she would continue to work following the diagnosis.<\/p>\n

“I come to work every day. I do my job, I don\u2019t complain, and I think that sets an example, too, for the people I work with,” Wiles said.<\/p>\n

Trump surprised Wiles with the<\/a> video as she accepted the Independent Women\u2019s Forum Barbara K. Olson Woman of Valor Award at a gala in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

He praised her as “the first female chief of staff<\/a> in American history” and “one of the best White House chiefs of staff ever in history.”<\/p>\n

“I say the best, actually,” Trump said, adding that he was “tremendously grateful” for her “friendship, loyalty and support every single day.”<\/p>\n

Wiles said she did not know the video was intended for the gala, despite briefly walking in while Trump was recording it.<\/p>\n

“I walked in when he was filming it, but I didn\u2019t know what it was for, and I kind of ducked out the back door,” she said.<\/p>\n

Trump credited Wiles with playing a key role in each of his presidential campaigns, “especially in 2024,” and said his administration\u2019s accomplishments have come with “her help and her leadership<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

“Susie, we have a problem. I say go to Susie,” Trump said. “We owe her a tremendous debt and what she\u2019s done is just incredible for our country.”<\/p>\n

Wiles, who described herself as a lifelong Republican, said her decision to back Trump in 2016<\/a> was one of the biggest risks of her career.<\/p>\n

“I wanted a disrupter,” Wiles said. “I looked around at the disrupters in the field and said, I think Donald Trump\u2019s the one.”<\/p>\n

Asked about her role now, Wiles said, “This is the path God chose for me. And I\u2019m here, and I\u2019m doing the best I can every day.”<\/p>\n

The gala was held Thursday at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n
