Everyone got the gag here. I don't think she's long for this White House." [View all]

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/25/trump-chief-of-staff-susie-wiles

“It was Susie Wiles saying out loud what she thinks and what she says in private to her colleagues. I don’t think she was taking a shot at JD Vance in order to elevate Marco Rubio or prepare the next step of her career. I just don’t think it’s that complicated.”

But some political commentators regard Wiles’s seemingly indiscreet remarks as the rumblings of a conscience and an attempt to rescue her legacy before a departure from the White House that may come to seem inevitable.

Rick Wilson, a political strategist and cofounder of the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group, said: “I’ve known Susie all my political life. There is 0.000 chance that this incredibly sophisticated and experienced political operative did 11 interviews on tape and did not know exactly what she was doing.

No rescuing your legacy if you were in Trump's close orbit. You just go on to your next grift or you fade to black. dutch777 7 hrs ago #18
