Showing Original Post only (View all)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-wilesIt was Susie Wiles saying out loud what she thinks and what she says in private to her colleagues. I dont 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 dont think its that complicated.
But some political commentators regard Wiless 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: Ive 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.

I think what we are seeing is an awakening of those within the republican party who want Trump out.
