Main Points from Susie Wiles' Vanity Fair Interview (Published December 16, 2025)

In a two-part profile based on 11 interviews conducted throughout the first year of Trump's second term, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles offered candid, often critical assessments of President Trump, his administration, and key figures. (Note: Wiles later described the articles as a "disingenuously framed hit piece" lacking context.)

  • On President Trump: Wiles compared Trump's personality to that of an alcoholic (despite him not drinking), saying he has "an alcoholic’s personality" with "a view that there’s nothing he can’t do." She linked this to her experience with her father, Pat Summerall, a recovering alcoholic. She denied being an "enabler" of Trump and said he "doesn’t depend on anybody."
  • On Retribution: Early in the term, she described a "loose agreement" that score-settling would end after 90 days, and she tried to curb Trump's impulses. However, she acknowledged that actions against New York AG Letitia James (accused of mortgage fraud after fining Trump heavily) "might be the one retribution," adding that when there's an opportunity for retribution, "he will go for it."
  • On Jeffrey Epstein Files and AG Pam Bondi: Wiles sharply criticized Bondi's handling, saying she "completely whiffed" on understanding how much Trump's base cared about the files—first releasing "binders full of nothingness," then claiming the client list was on her desk. Wiles said Trump was "wrong" to tie Bill Clinton to Epstein's criminal activity and saw no evidence implicating Trump himself.
  • On Vice President JD Vance: She called Vance a "conspiracy theorist for a decade" and described his shift from Never Trumper to MAGA supporter as "sort of political."
  • On Elon Musk and DOGE: Wiles referred to Musk's time leading the Department of Government Efficiency as a "disaster." She speculated he was "microdosing" when reposting controversial tweets, noted his avowed ketamine use, and described the challenge of "keeping up with him."
  • On Other Figures: She called OMB Director Russell Vought a "right-wing absolute zealot." On Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, she discussed his aggressive tactics, including boat strikes off Venezuela aimed at making Nicolás Maduro "cry uncle."
  • On Administration Dynamics and Policies: Wiles praised aspects like the FBI's January 6 investigation as an "incredible job" but expressed concerns over issues like immigration deportations (admitting process flaws) and foreign policy impulses. She positioned herself as a facilitator rather than a controller of Trump, contrasting with first-term staff.

The interviews painted a picture of an impulsive presidency channeled primarily by Wiles, with internal tensions and policy controversies, though she also defended the administration's overall direction in parts.
