The White House launched immediate crisis management and senior officials rallied to defend Susie Wiles after a widely read Vanity Fair profile quoted her calling Donald Trump "an alcoholic's personality" and saying he governs as if there are no limits to his power.Wiles said her remarks were "taken out of context" and called the piece "a dishonestly written smear," while Trump defended her, told the New York Post he does not drink and said he could become an alcoholic if he did, and aides including JD Vance, Scott Bessent, Pete Hegseth, Sean Duffy, Doug Burgum, Kash Patel, Karoline Leavitt and Russ Vought publicly backed her.The profile by Chris Whipple, based on 11 interviews and described by Le Figaro as behind a paywall, included disclosures about mistaken ICE deportations of two mothers and their American children to Honduras, Wiles's criticisms of Pam Bondi's handling of Epstein materials, her blunt judgments of aides and private figures, and comments defending roughly 25 strikes the administration calls drug interdiction that it says killed about 100 people.
