President Donald Trump on Tuesday admitted he has an “alcoholic’s personality” and that he still stands by his chief of staff Susie Wiles after an explosive interview with Vanity Fair about the reality inside Trump’s orbit.
Trump said he has full faith in Wiles and told the New York Post in an exclusive interview that he is loyal to her. He also clarified that he does not drink alcohol and wasn’t offended by Wiles’ comments over his personality, adding that he has a “possessive and addictive type personality.”
“No, she meant that I’m — you see, I don’t drink alcohol. So everybody knows that — but I’ve often said that if I did, I’d have a very good chance of being an alcoholic. I have said that many times about myself, I do. It’s a very possessive personality,” Trump told the outlet.
Wiles has claimed the article did not represent her comments. She conducted 11 interviews with the writer, Christopher Whipple. Whipple has written a book on other White House chiefs of staff, and the magazine published the first of two parts of an article based on those conversations that shocked many readers with claims about the president and other high-ranking administration officials.
“The article published early this morning is a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history,” Wiles posted on X after the article went live online.
“Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the president was left out of the story,” she added. “I assume, after reading it, that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the president and our team.”
Wiles described the president as having “an alcoholic’s personality” and harshly criticized Vice President JD Vance several times in the published piece. She was also sharply critical of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Epstein matter.
“The truth is the Trump White House has already accomplished more in eleven months than any other president has accomplished in eight years and that is due to the unmatched leadership and vision of President Trump, for whom I have been honored to work for the better part of a decade,” Wiles added. “None of this will stop our relentless pursuit of Making America Great Again!”
