On December 16, 2025, President Trump doubled down on his chief of staff Susie Wiles after her Vanity Fair bombshell interviews painted him with the sobriety-challenged brush of an 'alcoholic's personality.' Refusing to read the article, Trump told The New York Post he doesnât drink but has a 'very possessive personality' thatâd make him 'a very good alcoholic' if he caved. The White House rushed to defend Susie with a Cabinet cheer squadâScott Bessent, Pete Hegseth, Sean Duffy, Doug Burgum, and FBIâs Kash Patelâall claiming it was a fake news hit job. Meanwhile, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blamed a 'misguided interviewer' and selective quote-snipping. Who needs facts when you have feelings?
