President Donald Trump’s revenge tour is soon to make a stop inside the White House after the president was “humiliated” by one of his top aides, according to one analyst.
Trump’s second term has been marked by one retributive act after another. For now, those acts have largely been undertaken outside of the White House. The president directed his Department of Justice to investigate his political foes, such as former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA). Still, the courts swiftly slapped those investigations away.
But that could soon change as Trump’s aides appear to be revolting against him, according to political analysts Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz. They pointed to a recent series of interviews, in which Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, gave to Vanity Fair, where she described the president as having an “alcoholic personality” and admitted that the investigations into Trump’s foes were done for revenge.
Blumenthal and Wilentz argued on a new episode of their podcast, “The Court of History,” that Wiles’ interviews might make her a top target for Trump’s revenge tour.
“It’s an aggressive act in which she’s taken a kind of half step back here,” Blumenthal said. “There’s an element of revenge, of getting even, for how she has been diminished by everybody around her in the Trump administration and White House, including and especially Donald Trump.”
Experts have speculated that Trump’s cabinet could see a high-profile departure in early 2026. Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino has already announced his resignation, and other cabinet members, like DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, have come under fire for various miscues.
Blumenthal added Wiles’ name to the list of candidates.
“I believe that Trump, having been humiliated by her, never lets a humiliation go to waste, and he will find a way to engage in a drip of humiliation that may force her out,” Blumenthal said of Wiles. “I’d be surprised if he doesn’t do that. He has betrayed everybody around him and would betray her. He owes her no particular loyalty, even though she was his campaign manager in 2024 and helped bring him back to the presidency.”
