Everyone got the gag here. I don't think she's long for this White House."

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/25/trump-chief-of-staff-susie-wiles

“It was Susie Wiles saying out loud what she thinks and what she says in private to her colleagues. I don’t think she was taking a shot at JD Vance in order to elevate Marco Rubio or prepare the next step of her career. I just don’t think it’s that complicated.”

But some political commentators regard Wiles’s seemingly indiscreet remarks as the rumblings of a conscience and an attempt to rescue her legacy before a departure from the White House that may come to seem inevitable.

Rick Wilson, a political strategist and cofounder of the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group, said: “I’ve known Susie all my political life. There is 0.000 chance that this incredibly sophisticated and experienced political operative did 11 interviews on tape and did not know exactly what she was doing.

No rescuing your legacy if you were in Trump's close orbit. You just go on to your next grift or you fade to black. dutch777 15 min ago #18

"The US president was referring to his chief of staff, who he said had persuaded him to return to the campaign trail ahead of the 2026 congressional midterm elections."

That sounds like she's secretly trying to kill him. Good morning!

She is anticipating the political bloodbath when the fucking pedophile goes horizontal and wants no part of it.

Just you watch as that fucking cuck Stephen Miller tries a coup to take the top job from the Couch Fucker.

Also, the first casualty in this circular firing squad will be MAGAt Mike Masterbater Johnson, the knives are out for that motherfucker.

Has the personality of a demented porcupine. He has no friends, no following, and no chance. And should he somehow get even close, the line to piss on his impending grave would be hundreds of miles long.

Miller will make a play for Vance’s power and he’ll only get one chance to do it. JD is already getting slowly pushed aside. Rubio is brown and has no chance at the Big Chair. The wild card is Thiel. Will he toss aside Vance for Miller and Vought if they play ball with him?

He and Harry Litman had a discussion about her, and Whipple pretty much said she, like the rest of the White House, is in a media bubble, and they're pretty much detached from reality. He doesn't think Susie is going anywhere.

This interview is definitely worth your time:

I suppose dying from embarrassment and shame is also a possibility but that would assume some level of self respect and I think they all had to have that removed before they could work with Trump.
