Trump says Susie Wiles made him do the primetime address where he spent 18 minutes yelling about his 'accomplishments'

7. Summary from The Nation: 'The Shocking Confessions of Susie Wiles'

"Taken as a whole, Wiles’s litany of complaints and disavowals amounts to a damning picture of Trump’s presidency. Her comments about Musk using ketamine are so damaging that Wiles tried to deny them, telling The New York Times, 'That’s ridiculous. I wouldn’t have said it and I wouldn’t know.' The newspaper went on to report, 'Whipple played a tape for The Times in which she could be heard saying it.' As Whipple notes, despite White House complaints that he quoted out of context, none of his facts have been challenged."

"How did a seasoned political professional fall into the trap of giving so many on-the-record comments that could hurt both her employer and her job? To be sure, it’s a time-honored practice for White House officials to leak objections they have to government policy to friendly book writers as a way of creating plausible deniability for the historical record. Colin Powell, secretary of state under George W. Bush, was a seasoned practitioner of this art, ensuring that he was portrayed in a positive light by chroniclers such as Bob Woodward. Perhaps Wiles’s miscalculation was in not guessing how quickly Whipple would turn his scoops into an article."

"But there’s another reason Wiles might have felt free to be candid. The types of comments she made would shame most administrations, but Donald Trump and the people around him have no shame. It’s a striking fact that, so far, the White House (including Trump) are rallying behind Wiles. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted, 'Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has helped President Trump achieve the most successful first 11 months in office of any President in American history. President Trump has no greater or more loyal advisor than Susie.' "

"But they can’t hide from the reality: Susie Wiles has verified many disreputable facts about the Trump administration, including the truth that it operates with reckless impunity."

Why is this woman still Chief of Staff? I suspect Trump hasn't been made aware of Wiles' recent revelations; his handlers and enablers are probably keeping the demented president in the dark.
