President Donald Trump’s chief of staff did not put a lid on her honest reactions to the president’s second term so far as she sat for an interview with Vanity Fair. She admitted that she tried to tell Trump not to make retribution hois top agenga but it did not work out. Wiles also commented on Vice President JD Vance and how his conversion from a staunch opposer to a fan boy was not very original, but political. Wiles said though Trump does not drink and is a teetotaler, he has an alcoholic’s personality who believes he can do everything. “High-functioning alcoholics or alcoholics in general, their personalities are exaggerated when they drink,” she said. “And so I’m a little bit of an expert in big personalities,” she said confidently as she grew up with an alcoholic father.

Wiles agreed that people may think that Trump is witch-hunting as there may be an element of political retribution in the prosecutions against his opponents.
“I mean, people could think it does look vindictive,” she said in response to a question about the prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey. “I can’t tell you why you shouldn’t think that.”“I don’t think he wakes up thinking about retribution. But when there’s an opportunity, he will go for it,” she added. Wiles said Vice President JD Vance has “been a conspiracy theorist for a decade” and became a Trump loyalist for political reasons.On tech billionaire and former Trump ally Elon Musk, Wiles said he is “an avowed ketamine” user and “an odd, odd duck, as I think geniuses are.”On Attorney General Pam Bondi, Wiles said she “completely whiffed” in her handling of the Epstein files.“I think she completely whiffed on appreciating that that was the very targeted group that cared about this,” Wiles said of Bondi giving binders of materials on the case to a group of conservative influencers. “First, she gave them binders full of nothingness. And then she said that the witness list, or the client list, was on her desk. There is no client list, and it sure as hell wasn’t on her desk.”
