The second Trump administration has long appeared to be an even weaker house of cards than the first.
By surrounding himself only with loyalists, Trump abandoned any semblance of potential governing competence for the first presidential administration in American history to serve as a royal court.
Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, has done a good job of keeping a low profile, a necessary skill for anyone serving as Trump’s chief of staff. The chief of staff cannot get too much attention or seem to exert control over Trump.
Little did we know, Wiles gave eleven interviews to Vanity Fair for a piece about the people in the second Trump administration.

The two parts of the profile contain a lot of information and it has sent the White House into a frenzy of damage control.
The profile is so bad that the White House has had every Cabinet member release a statement in support of Susie Wiles.
Here’s what Trump’s chief of staff had to say about members of the administration:
We often spoke on Sundays after church. Wiles, an Episcopalian, calls herself “Catholic lite.” One time we spoke while she was doing her laundry in her rental home in Washington, DC. Trump, she told me, “has the personality of an alcoholic.” Vance’s conversion from Never Trumper to MAGA acolyte was, she said, “a kind of politics.” The vice president, she added, has been “a conspiracy theorist for a decade.” Russell Vought, architect of the infamous Project 2025 and head of the Office of Management and Budget, is “a right-wing absolute fanatic.” When I asked her what she thought about Musk reposting a tweet about public sector workers who murdered millions under Hitler, Stalin and Mao, she replied: “I think he’s microdosing.”
The frank assessments from Trump and others weren’t the worst of it.
Wiles blew apart the cover story of Trump’s Epstein files in the most damaging way possible.
