Overview
- In a Guardian op-ed published Tuesday, Sidney Blumenthal portrays the chief of staff as an enabler who is also trying to distance herself from the president.
- He suggests her months of on-the-record conversations with Vanity Fair could be seen as retribution and recounts her allegedly leaving a Trump meeting to see the reporter.
- The Vanity Fair profile quotes Wiles describing Trump as having an alcoholic’s personality and believing there is nothing he cannot do.
- Wiles also criticizes Vice President J.D. Vance as a long-time conspiracy theorist and describes Elon Musk as an avowed ketamine user and an odd, odd duck.
- Wiles denies being an enabler, and reporting notes Trump has said he trusts her with no resulting change in her position.
