Recently, Susie Wiles found herself under intense backlash after a Vanity Fair article revealed her private and unusually candid comments about President Donald Trump and his inner circle.
Based on a series of interviews conducted over Trump’s first year back in office, the piece offered a rare look inside the White House, exposing internal tensions, blunt assessments of top allies, and an administration already showing signs of strain behind the scenes.
Wiles described Trump as having “an alcoholic’s personality,” even though he does not drink. She said his intense behavior reminded her of her father.
She also took shots at some of Trump’s closest allies.
Wiles called Vice President JD Vance a longtime conspiracy theorist. She said Elon Musk acted alone and went too far when he shut down USAID. She even said she was “aghast” by his actions.

Then came the Epstein case.
Wiles said Attorney General Pam Bondi “whiffed” by promising disclosures that never came. She also said Trump was wrong to suggest Bill Clinton visited Epstein’s island.
“There is no evidence,” Wiles said.
The fallout was immediate.
Wiles fired back, calling the Vanity Fair story a “hit piece.” Several cabinet members defended her. But she did not deny the quotes.
That silence only made things worse.
So when Trump was spotted walking across the White House lawn alongside former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to board Marine One, critics immediately took notice.

The ONLY “recycling”Trump believes in is replacing one corrupt chief of staff with another.

This administration thinks the American people live in a social media bubble; they do not. The majority of the American people find this administration abhorrent. Good luck in the midterms, MAGA.
