The Chief of the White House Office, Meadows, was diagnosed with breast cancer but decided to continue her position during the weeks of treatment, highlighting her crucial role in the Trump administration. A source said that Trump had urged her to start treatment immediately and take a temporary leave from the White House after learning about her condition last week, but the 68-year-old chief aide clearly stated she would not leave her post. This Monday, after informing senior advisors, she jointly drafted a statement with Trump to publicly disclose her illness on Truth Social. Meadows' condition has also caused new anxiety within the White House. Several aides and allies believe that she is almost "irreplaceable" in Trump's inner circle, and one of the few people who can maintain order in the West Wing, control internal conflicts, defections, and leaks, without significantly restricting the president's style. Over the past year, she has promoted Trump's agenda while maintaining the operation of the White House, becoming one of the president's most trusted confidants. Now, in addition to sympathy and praise, there is an unspoken question within the White House: How would Trump's White House function without Meadows?
