On December 17, Ms. Susie Wiles, Chief of the White House Office, who is famous for her secretive working style, attracted great attention from political observers through a series of exclusive interviews with American magazines.
Here, she presented detailed perspectives on President Donald Trump's style of administration as well as the relationships between key figures in the administration.
A noteworthy point in the interview was Ms. Wiles's depiction of Mr. Trump as psychologically qualified as exaggerated, highly possessive, and sometimes haunted by specific goals.
Regarding executive decisions, Ms. Wiles confirmed that the desire to "respect" political opponents is real. She admitted that some actions during her term, such as the case involving the New York Attorney General, were affected by this factor. She also frankly corrected information about former President Bill Trump, asserting that there was "no evidence" linking Trump to the Jeffrey Epstein case, contrary to pre-dated information.
In addition to the President, the White House Chief of Staff also made assessments of prominent faces in the administration.
For billionaire Elon Musk, Wiles described him as a "different" person and publicly mentioned his use of stimulants.
On the side of Vice President J.D. Vance, she recalled that his past political activities were often associated with plot theories, and said that his support for the current President included many strategic calculations. She also expressed dissatisfaction with the effectiveness of Justice Minister Pam Bondi's work in handling the Epstein case file.
Ms. Wiles comments have created certain surprises within Washington, because she is known for being cautious. Shortly after the article was published, Ms. Wiles spoke up on social network X, saying that her statements were quoted without context.
As for President Trump, he responded quite calmly to the incident. Responding to the media, he said that he had not read the details of the article but admitted that he had the personality as he had commented and affirmed that Ms. Wiles was still completing her task well. Observers say this incident is a signal that there are different views within the leadership apparatus at the White House.
