"In a meticulously reported, two-part Vanity Fair investigation based on 11 interviews with Trump’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, the façade of unity inside the Trump operation cracked wide open. What emerged was not a flattering portrait of a disciplined administration, but a candid, deeply troubling assessment of a presidency defined by chaos, grievance, and recklessness."

"According to Vanity Fair, Wiles offered blunt characterizations of Trump and several of the most powerful figures in his orbit. She described Trump as having “an alcoholic’s personality,” a term long used in psychology to describe impulsivity, denial, and erratic behavior even in the absence of drinking. ...

All of this unfolded against a grim economic backdrop. New data show the United States has effectively entered a hiring recession."

"An explosive article in Vanity Fair profiling WH Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has the WH in full circle-the-wagons mode since her quotes about things behind the scenes didn’t exactly paint a pretty picture of some of the people she works with. Despite submitting to 11 interviews and being quoted extensively throughout the article, Wiles lashed out - labeling the whole thing 'fake news.' She didn’t deny her quotes were accurate…."

Robert Reich comments on the report today from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

"The bigger news is that almost no jobs have been added to the American economy since April.

In fact, 710,000 more people are unemployed now versus November 2024.

It would be one thing if wage gains were growing, but they aren’t. They’re slowing."

Why? Trump's tariffs and efforts of employers to cut costs as a result.

"Wiles described Trump as having 'an alcoholic’s personality.' She added that he 'operates [with] a view that there’s nothing he can’t do. Nothing, zero, nothing.'

Oddly, she might not have meant for this to sound like a bad thing, as she said that 'high-functioning alcoholics or alcoholics in general, their personalities are exaggerated when they drink. And so I’m a little bit of an expert in big personalities.'”

"Aides are describing a West Wing in panic mode, unsure whether the president views the article as a betrayal, a liability, or both.

The revelations attributed to Wiles are remarkable not only for their substance, but for their source: the sitting White House chief of staff."

Many of these want to oust Trump & replace him with a younger, smarter fascist despot, like JD Vance.

Thiel is in a rush to start his shadow regency.
