Trump was the first president to appoint a woman to the position of White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, but three days after a severe defeat in the midterm elections, Trump announced that Wiles would move to work within his political team, to be replaced by her deputy, Stephen Miller.
During Trump's second term, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez Derimer, White House Press Secretary Katie Zakaria, who served for 5 days, and US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle also left their positions during Trump's second term.
As in the case of Wiles, Bondi, Noem and Chavez-Dermer have all been replaced by men, while Trump has not yet named replacements for Zakaria and Guilfoyle.
On the other hand, two other women left the administration in circumstances that seemed more friendly to Trump: former White House spokeswoman Carolyn Levitt and former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard was also replaced by a man.
It is also worth noting that in the wake of the famous “SignalGate” scandal, in which senior officials in a chat group on the app shared sensitive information related to raids on the Houthis in Yemen, Mike Waltz was removed from his position as National Security Advisor, although he was later appointed US Ambassador to the United Nations.
