Vanity Fair just released an interview with Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, and it is a doozy!
Over the course of the first year of Trump’s presidency, VF’s Chris Whipple met with Wiles a bunch of times, and the interview got quite candid!
In particular, her descriptions of Donald Trump and other people in his inner circle are going super viral.
First off, she says Donald Trump has an “alcoholic’s personality.”
She says JD Vance has been “a conspiracy theorist for a decade.”
Elon Musk? Well, Wiles says, “He is a complete solo actor,” an “avowed ketamine [user,]” and an “odd, odd duck.”
Wiles thinks Pam Bondi completely “whiffed” the Epstein files: “I think she completely whiffed on appreciating that that was the very targeted group that cared about this,” she said about the influencers who received Epstein files binders. “First she gave them binders full of nothingness. And then she said that the witness list, or the client list, was on her desk. There is no client list, and it sure as hell wasn’t on her desk.”
And lastly, she called Management and Budget Director Russell Vought a “right wing absolute zealot.”
Needless to say, people are kind of shocked over this whole thing.
“Can’t believe Trump’s chief of staff has Trump Derangement Syndrome too.”
For her part, Wiles responded, “The article published early this morning is a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history.”
As NBC’s Senior White House correspondent Garrett Haake said, “Pretty unusual start to the day over here at the White House.”
