Trump chief of staff Susie Wiles is scrambling to contain the fallout from her bombshell tell-all interviews with Vanity Fair

This accomplished-more-than-any-other-president thing is a psychosis for Trump and his minions. It's such a big lie it's a wonder they don't burst into flames or burst out laughing when they say it.

The piece, which is a story Vanity Fair published in two parts on Tuesday, didn't just include candid comments from Wiles; other Trump administration officials spoke to Wipple, and several high-level members of Trump's team posed for a series of portraits to accompany the story.
"Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the President was left out of the story," Wiles said in her post. "I assume, after reading it, that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team."

I think she had an ass kissing session with her boss before the presser.
Sorry for being gross.

Ps - not gross. Likely factual.

To the fine detail, but I reckon it's something to do with cosmetic enhancements - inserted, removed or solidifying.

Wiles is correct- the bombshell quotes are being taken largely out of context, and the interview shows her to be, for the most part, a loyal and fawning Trump servant.

(8,982 posts)There is not a single good thing that has been accomplished, but he has accomplished an unbelievably incredible amount of bad. Trump has arguably done as many bad things in 11 months as any 10 Presidents have done in their entire terms combined.

(695 posts)damaging president was. I'm guessing it's a long, long way back to second place.

(22,045 posts)I just read the whole Vanity Fair piece, and the bombshell quotes are largely taken out of context of what was, for the most part, an interview that portrayed Wiles as loyal and fawning over Trump.
Its the reporting by The Hill and other secondary outlets that are spinning this into clickbait sensationalism, perhaps spurred on my some in Millers camp who would like to see Wiles fired so Pee Wee German can get promoted to her COS job.

I thought she was supposed to be so brainy

(1,558 posts)Vanity Fair and their journalist, to make it appear both Vanity Fair and the journalist were extreme leftists who write articles that are all lies and propaganda about Trump........
She is obviously a very intelligent woman. Check out her accomplishments for the past few decades....
My thinking is that it was a giant sting operation, just like they did on Acorn? years ago....
Just one of the countless many, working in the shadows, behind smoke and mirrors, in this CABAL of NEW Republicans......
I guess we will just have to wait and see.........If I am correct, she keeps her job as Chief of Staff, if not, she gets thrown under the bus which is classical Trump......
