Pushback and Verifying Quotes

What revelations from Susie Wiles' unprecedented on-the-record interviews are sending shockwaves through Trump's inner circle? On this explosive episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, acclaimed White House chronicler Chris Whipple joins to unpack his bombshell Vanity Fair profile on chief of staff Susie Wiles, drawn from 11 months of extraordinary access and candid conversations.Whipple reveals how he gained Wiles' trust from the start, leading to unguarded insights into Trump 2.0's power dynamics—including her description of the president's "alcoholic personality," her labeling of JD Vance as a conspiracy theorist, criticism of Pam Bondi "whiffing" on the Epstein files, admissions of retribution in prosecutions, and frank assessments of Elon Musk, foreign policy fractures, and whether Wiles truly serves as a gatekeeper or enabler in a smoother yet still chaotic administration. How will Susie Wiles' candid quotes reshape alliances and discipline inside the Trump White House?
