President Donald Trump has come out swinging in defense of chief of staff Susie Wiles, shrugging off a Vanity Fair interview that quoted her calling him akin to an alcoholic in personality -- a bold claim for a man who’s famously never touched a drink, as the New York Post reports.

In essence, Trump stood firm behind Wiles after her controversial remarks about his character and other administration figures surfaced, though he slammed the magazine for what he sees as a deliberate distortion of the facts.

The drama unfolded when Wiles spoke to Vanity Fair, painting Trump with a peculiar brush by suggesting he has traits reminiscent of addiction, despite his lifelong abstinence shaped by the tragic loss of his brother Fred to alcohol in 1981.

Trump’s Steadfast Defense of Wiles

During an interview with the Post on Tuesday, Trump didn’t hesitate to back Wiles, dismissing the article as a hit piece from a publication he doesn’t even bother to read.

“I didn’t read it, but I don’t read Vanity Fair -- but she’s done a fantastic job,” Trump declared, emphasizing his trust in her performance over media noise.

Frankly, when a magazine with a track record of pushing progressive narratives takes aim, it’s no shock Trump calls foul -- many on the right would argue Vanity Fair’s credibility took a nosedive long ago.

Wiles’ Remarks Stir Internal Waves

Wiles didn’t limit her candidness to Trump; she also tossed pointed comments at Vice President JD Vance and Attorney General Pam Bondi, raising eyebrows within the administration.

Yet, Vance handled it with humor, owning the “conspiracy theorist” label Wiles pinned on him while suggesting there’s often truth behind such barbs before the media catches up.

“Sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist,” Vance admitted with a smirk, showing he can take a jab and still stand tall alongside Wiles in private jest and public solidarity.

Administration Closes Ranks Around Wiles

In a display of unity, Bondi and other key figures rallied behind Wiles, with Bondi praising her as a loyal ally who tirelessly advances Trump’s goals with grace and impact.

This kind of cohesion sends a clear message: no glossy magazine piece will fracture a team focused on delivering results, especially when the left-leaning press often seems eager to spotlight discord.

Russ Vought echoed this sentiment, lauding Wiles as an exceptional leader who keeps the administration aligned with Trump’s vision, countering narratives of dysfunction with hard evidence of teamwork.

Foreign Policy and Future Focus

Beyond personal critiques, Wiles weighed in on global matters, expressing skepticism about Putin’s ambitions in Ukraine and suggesting he might aim to dominate the entire nation.

Trump, meanwhile, keeps his eyes on the horizon, planning a Wednesday Oval Office address to discuss peace talks with Russia and outline the nation’s path forward, proving policy trumps tabloid drama.

At the end of the day, while Vanity Fair may have hoped to ignite chaos with this so-called exposé, Trump’s unwavering support for Wiles and the administration’s united front show that sensationalism won’t derail a group committed to action over woke media games.
