Trump’s Ex-Chief of Staff Reveals Shocking ‘Alcoholic’s Personality’ Insight
In a revealing profile, Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, described Donald Trump as possessing what she termed an “alcoholic’s personality.” Wiles shared her insights in a piece featured in Vanity Fair. She drew parallels between Trump’s personality and her experiences with her late father, Pat Summerall, an iconic NFL player and broadcaster, who struggled with alcoholism.
Susie Wiles’ Perspective on Trump’s Personality
Wiles, known as the “Ice Maiden” and a significant ally of Trump, stated that high-functioning alcoholics often have exaggerated personalities. She indicated that Trump embodies this trait, asserting that he believes there is nothing he cannot achieve. Notably, Trump abstains from alcohol, influenced by his older brother Fred’s battle with alcoholism, which ultimately led to his premature death.
Trump’s Unconventional Vice
Instead of alcohol, Trump’s preference is Diet Coke, which he can conveniently summon with a button on his Resolute Desk. Known for her loyalty, Wiles has also been instrumental as Trump’s campaign manager for the upcoming 2024 elections. Her role in his administration is typically less conspicuous compared to other prominent figures, yet her influence is profound.
The Dynamics of Power in the Trump Administration
A former Republican official noted that Trump’s decisions often stem from whim, with Wiles being one of the few who can steer him effectively. This relationship positions her uniquely as the chief of staff, where traditionally, this role involves collaboration among equals. Wiles reminisced about her introduction to Trump during the filming of The Apprentice, where he remarked on her famous lineage.
Handling Challenges
Wiles maintains that she engages in daily challenging conversations with Trump, focusing on minor issues rather than major constitutional dilemmas. She reflects on her approach, stating she prefers to choose her confrontations wisely. Wiles’ candid discussions with Vanity Fair brought forth a series of bold assertions about Trump and his associates.
- Described Vice President JD Vance as a longtime conspiracy theorist.
- Characterized Elon Musk as an “avowed ketamine user.”
- Referred to the prosecution of Trump’s adversaries as “retribution.”
This unprecedented level of frankness from a current chief of staff raises questions about its implications for both Wiles and the Trump administration.
