Trump Defends Susie Wiles for Disparaging Vanity Fair Comments, Admits He’s ‘Possessive and Addictive’

President Donald Trump came to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’ defense Tuesday after her comments to Vanity Fair, saying he had an “alcoholic’s personality.”

In a series of 11 interviews she gave to Vanity Fair chronicling Trump’s second term, Wiles described him as someone with “an alcoholic’s personality” and Vice President JD Vance as a “conspiracy theorist.”

“No, she meant that I’m — you see, I don’t drink alcohol. So everybody knows that — but I’ve often said that if I did, I’d have a very good chance of being an alcoholic. I have said that many times about myself, I do. It’s a very possessive personality,” Trump told the New York Post.

“I’ve said that many times about myself. I’m fortunate I’m not a drinker. If I did, I could very well, because I’ve said that — what’s the word? Not possessive — possessive and addictive type personality. Oh, I’ve said it many times, many times before.”

Vice President J.D. Vance also came to the chief of staff’s defense Tuesday, writing in an X post that the entire team loves her “because she is loyal and good at her job. An extremely rare combo in the halls of power.”

“If any of us have learned a lesson from that Vanity Fair article, I hope that the lesson is we should be giving fewer interviews to mainstream media outlets,” he said.
