Trump's Ice Maiden describes the president's 'alcoholic personality'

Donald Trump's White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has divulged stunning details about the inner workings of the administration in an explosive new report. 

Wiles, 68, speaking with Vanity Fair over the course of the last year, likened Trump to her own late alcoholic father and legendary sportscaster Pat Summerall, noting the president has 'an alcoholic's personality.'

The president 'operates [with] a view that there's nothing he can't do. Nothing, zero, nothing,' Wiles added. 

Notably, Trump does not drink and has spoken about losing his older brother, Fred, to addiction and alcoholism.  

The chief of staff also dished on Vice President JD Vance, noting his late MAGA conversion and early critiques of Trump. 

The VP, she added, has also been 'a conspiracy theorist for a decade.'

A longtime political operator who has worked with Trump for a decade since his 2015 campaign, Wiles is one of the most powerful figures in the administration - and the first female chief of staff in history. 

Though shortly after the article went to print on Tuesday, Wiles pushed back, calling it a hit piece. 

'The article published early this morning is a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history,' the chief of staff said. 

'Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the President was left out of the story. I assume, after reading it, that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team.'

Her wide-ranging interview offers a buffet of insights into those she works closest with, including her 'junkyard dogs,' a cadre of powerful Trump lieutenants ready to execute the president's orders and fight those who stand in opposition.

'She doesn't raise her voice. But she likes being around junkyard dogs,' White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair, 36, told the outlet. 

'She is a 'go to church every Sunday, uses a swear word very, very rarely,' he added. 

Blair is one of the bulldogs dispatched by Wiles to enact the president's will. 

The others are longtime Trump advisor and architect of the president's domestic policy agenda, Stephen Miller, and the president's golf caddie-turned-advisor, Dan Scavino - both also deputy White House chiefs of staff.

One of them is clearly top dog, however, and that's Miller.

The White House chief of staff's 'core team' consists of Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the 40-year-old homeland security advisor. 

Others in Trump's orbit got less favorable superlatives from Wiles. 

Office of Management and Budget chief Russell Vought, a chief planner for Project 2025, she likened to 'a right-wing absolute zealot.'

Pressed on former DOGE leader Elon Musk's late-night social media ranting about Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong, the 68-year-old candidly shot back: 'I think that's when he's micro-dosing.' 

She admitted she had no proof, but the mercurial entrepreneur and father of over a dozen children has admitted to Ketamine use.

'He is a complete solo actor,' she said of Musk. 

'He's an avowed ketamine [user]. And he sleeps in a sleeping bag in the EOB [Executive Office Building] in the daytime. And he's an odd, odd duck, as I think geniuses are. You know, it's not helpful, but he is his own person,' she told Vanity Fair.
