Après les révélations explosives de Vanity Fair, Donald Trump et son administration volent au secours de Susie Wiles

LE FIGARO : Le président des États-Unis a une «personnalité d’alcoolique», JD Vance est «complotiste depuis une décennie»... Des déclarations de la directrice de cabinet du républicain ont déclenché une onde de choc à Washington.

Pour l’instant, les démocrates gardent le silence. L’occasion est-elle trop grande, trop téléphonée ? Trop facile ? Mardi 16 décembre, le magazine américain Vanity Fair a publié une enquête en deux parties sur le fonctionnement de l’administration de Donald Trump basée notamment sur une série d’une dizaine d’entretiens avec, selon le président des États-Unis, la femme la plus puissante du monde : Susie Wiles, surnommée la «Dame de glace», sa directrice de cabinet. Les révélations, également fondées sur les témoignages du vice-président JD Vance et du secrétaire d’État Marco Rubio - entre autres - sont explosives et dépeignent une administration très resserrée, entièrement dévouée au président.

Les révélations ne manqueront pas de faire du bruit dans le «Beltway», le Landerneau politique américain. À peine l’entretien publié, l’habituelle très discrète Susie Wiles a dénoncé un article «malhonnête». «Des éléments contextuels importants ont été ignorés et une grande partie de ce que moi-même et d’autres avons dit… a été omis de l’article», a-t-elle écrit sur X. Je suppose que cela a été fait dans le but de brosser un tableau extrêmement chaotique et négatif du président et de notre équipe.» » | Par Victor Mérat | mercredi 17 décembre 2025

Susie Wiles, JD Vance, and the “Junkyard Dogs”: The White House Chief of Staff on Trump’s Second Term (Part 1 of 2)

VANITY FAIR: Throughout the first year of Donald Trump’s second administration, Vanity Fair writer Chris Whipple has interviewed Wiles amid each moment of crisis. This insider’s account joins a portfolio of portraits for an unflinching, up-close look at power—and peril.

On the morning of November 4, 2025, an off-year Election Day, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles was meeting in the Oval Office with the president and his top advisers, men she calls her “core team”: Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff. The agenda was twofold: ending the congressional filibuster and forcing Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro from power. As she related it later, President Donald Trump was holding forth on the filibuster when Wiles stood up and started for the door. Trump eyed her. “Is this an emergency, that you have to leave?” he demanded. It was nothing of the sort—but Wiles left Trump guessing. She replied: “It’s an emergency. It doesn’t involve you.” With that, according to Wiles, she departed the Oval.

Wiles, wearing dark pants and a plain black leather top, met me in her office with a smile and a handshake. Over sandwiches from the White House Mess, we talked about the challenges Trump faces. Throughout the past year, Wiles and I have spoken regularly about almost everything: the contents, and consequences, of the Epstein files; ICE’s brutal mass deportations; Elon Musk’s evisceration of USAID; the controversial deployment of the National Guard to US cities; the demolition of the East Wing; the lethal strikes on boats allegedly being piloted by drug smugglers—acts many have called war crimes; Trump’s physical and mental health; and whether he will defy the 22nd Amendment and try to stay on for a third term.

Most senior White House officials parse their words and speak only on background. But over many on-the-record conversations, Wiles answered almost every question I put to her.

We often spoke on Sundays after church. Wiles, an Episcopalian, calls herself “Catholic lite.” One time we spoke while she was doing her laundry in her Washington, DC, rental. Trump, she told me, “has an alcoholic’s personality.” Vance’s conversion from Never Trumper to MAGA acolyte, she said, has been “sort of political.” The vice president, she added, has been “a conspiracy theorist for a decade.” Russell Vought, architect of the notorious Project 2025 and head of the Office of Management and Budget, is “a right-wing absolute zealot.” When I asked her what she thought of Musk reposting a tweet about public sector workers killing millions under Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, she replied: “I think that’s when he’s microdosing.” (She says she doesn't have first-hand knowledge.)

Wiles is the most powerful person in Trump’s White House other than the president himself; unlike any chief of staff before her, she is a woman. » | Chris Whipple | Photographer: Christopher Anderson | Tuesday, December 16, 2025

Republican Condemns Vance for ‘Despicable’ Comments on Venezuelan Boat Strike

THE GUARDIAN: Rand Paul decries ‘thoughtless’ comment after vice-president defends strike against alleged drug traffickers

The Republican senator who heads the homeland security committee has criticized JD Vance for “despicable” comments apparently in support of extrajudicial military killings.

“Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military,” the vice-president said in an X post on Saturday, in defense of Tuesday’s US military strike against a Venezuelan boat in the Caribbean Sea, which killed 11 people the administration alleged were drug traffickers.

Vance added: “Democrats: let’s send your kids to die in Russia. Republicans: actually let’s protect our people from the scum of the earth.” » | Victoria Bekiempis | Sunday, September 7, 2025
