President Trump’s chief of staff said she tried to get him to end his “score settling” against political enemies after 90 days in office, but acknowledged that the administration’s still ongoing push for prosecutions has been fueled in part by the president’s desire for retribution.
Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, told an interviewer that she forged a “loose agreement” with Mr. Trump to stop focusing after three months on punishing antagonists, an effort that evidently did not succeed. While she insisted that Mr. Trump is not constantly thinking about retribution, she said that “when there’s an opportunity, he will go for it.”
Ms. Wiles made the comments in a series of extraordinarily unguarded interviews over the first year of Mr. Trump’s second term with the author Chris Whipple that are being published on Tuesday by Vanity Fair. Not only did she confirm that Mr. Trump is using criminal prosecution to retaliate against adversaries, she also acknowledged that he was not telling the truth when he accused former President Bill Clinton of visiting the private island of the sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.
Over the course of 11 interviews, Ms. Wiles offered pungent assessments of the president and his team: Mr. Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality.” Vice President JD Vance has “been a conspiracy theorist for a decade” and his conversion from Trump critic to ally was based not on principle but was “sort of political” because he was running for Senate. Elon Musk is “an avowed ketamine” user and “an odd, odd duck,” whose actions were not always “rational” and left her “aghast.” Russell T. Vought, the budget director, is “a right-wing absolute zealot.” And Attorney General Pam Bondi “completely whiffed” in handling the Epstein files.
She’s no dummy so she must be drawing fire?

At any rate, she’s being incredibly indiscreet.
I’m not sure if she is giving her own skewed opinion or just outright lying. What has President Trump said about this interview? Anything?
She is WRONG! ❗ I messaged Trump near the start of his second term and warned him that his decision to go easy in Hildy in 2017 resulted in her working to destroy him, two assassination attempts and a Mar-a-Lago raid with a 'Shoot to Kill' order. He told Israel not to target the Ayatollah leader of Iran and immediately following the end of hostilities the Ayatollah had a fatwah issued for the murder of Trump.
In a vicious world better to withdraw if you can't deal with the realities of power.
Plots against Prez Trump are still on the burner and before the end of his first year back I expect another Deep State effort to oust him from office - long before the midterms. Don't forget the shooter's platform with line of sight to AF-1 at Palm Beach recently.
I don't advocate that PDJT do any more than what the legal process allows. Punish sedition, treason, dereliction of duty, murder, etc. Military tribunals would be a fine choice. The Deep State obviously controls the courts.
