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.

White House chief of staff Susie Wiles posted on X for the first time in more than a year to slam Vanity Fair for what she called a "disingenuously framed hit piece" that was based on a series of regular interviews and conversations she had with reporter Chris Wipple over the course of a year.

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."
