The White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, has shared candid and unconventional ideas about President Donald Trump, his second term agenda, and close associates in over 10 interviews. While working with Trump, Wiles has observed characteristics of an individual with a predisposition to alcoholism, despite the President himself being a non-drinker. She explains that individuals with an affinity for alcohol often exhibit pronounced personality traits while under the influence and, as someone with firsthand experience, she attributes this to her father, a well-known sports announcer who struggled with alcohol addiction.
Wiles has acknowledged that Trump’s desire for revenge played a significant role in several key decisions, with many actions taken during his second term being fueled by a sense of retribution. She also notes that Trump believes nothing is impossible and that zero is not an option. During a speech addressed to the nation, Trump stated, “What we’ve accomplished in one year is something that no one else could have done.” Wiles has conceded that the element of revenge may be involved in lawsuits against the President’s political adversaries, stating, “I’m not saying you should do it, but when the opportunity arises, they will surely take advantage of it.”
In the interviews, Wiles has also criticized several of Trump’s associates, including Vice President Mike Pence, Elon Musk, and Attorney General Pam Bondi. She has expressed concern about Pence’s long-held conspiracy theories and has expressed astonishment at Musk’s use of ketamine. When questioned about Wiles’ statements, Trump, in an interview with the New York Post, chose to acknowledge them rather than deny them, stating, “She did a tremendous job.” Following the interviews, Wiles wrote on X that her words were taken out of context and that the article was a hit piece, with White House Press Secretary, Karen Levie, stating that Trump has no more loyal and capable advisor than Wiles.
