I understand exactly why Susie has this opinion, because it’s true. He does have behavioral similarities with long term alcoholics. Broad, unpredictable and intense mood swings, picking targets of the moment, are just two common characteristics. I’m not complaining, b/c he’s getting a lot of good work done. I am only making observations.
The big mistake is her saying all that in enemy territory. Usually, a Chief of Staff would be disciplined enough to at very least, WAIT until the end of your Boss’ term, then, perhaps 3 or 4 years later, then you come out with your tattletale, blabbermouth books to feather your retirement nests. She just could not wait to start running her mouth. Susie must be deeply unhappy or dissatisfied at her job to be chopping down her own tree, so to speak.
She’s saying it in public because she is establishing herself as a reasonable alternative to the clearly unstable Vance once Trump fully gives out.
