The author suggests Wiles previously avoided speaking out to prevent embarrassing herself, Trump, and his supporters. The Vanity Fair feature included interviews not only with Wiles but also with other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fed-found-economy-is-recovering-much-faster-than-officials-expected\/\" title=\"Fed Found Economy Is Recovering Much Faster Than Officials Expected\">top officials<\/a> like Vice President J.D. vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, despite the publication&#8217;s antagonistic stance toward the administration. Wiles&#8217; post-publication statement claimed selective editing, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/time-magazine-takes-chinese-cash-to-promote-controversial-drone-business\/\" title=\"Time Magazine Takes Chinese Cash To Promote Controversial Drone Business\">article highlights<\/a> that the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >included content revealed contradictions<\/a>, gossip, and doubts about White House associates. This behavior reportedly undermined the administration&#8217;s credibility and made defending the White house more difficult. the piece concludes that Wiles was better off staying silent and implies her public engagement was damaging politically and personally.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/whitehouse\/54640956079\" target=\"_blank\">Daniel Torok\/White House\/Flickr<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/16\/susie-wiles-should-go-back-to-not-talking-in-public\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Susie%20Wiles%20Should%20Go%20Back%20To%20Not%20Talking%20In%20Public&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/16\/susie-wiles-should-go-back-to-not-talking-in-public\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Susie%20Wiles%20Should%20Go%20Back%20To%20Not%20Talking%20In%20Public&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/16\/susie-wiles-should-go-back-to-not-talking-in-public\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/16\/susie-wiles-should-go-back-to-not-talking-in-public\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Susie%20Wiles%20Should%20Go%20Back%20To%20Not%20Talking%20In%20Public&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/16\/susie-wiles-should-go-back-to-not-talking-in-public\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>For years, President Trump&rsquo;s 2024 campaign manager and now White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles had said next to nothing in public, and now we know why. There was apparently always a high risk she would make a complete fool out of herself, her boss, and, most offensively, all of his supporters.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday Vanity Fair of all places published <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/PCOFM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a feature<\/a> centered on Wiles, with her willful participation in the piece: She agreed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/12\/16\/us\/politics\/trump-susie-wiles.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more than 10 interviews<\/a> with author Chris Whipple over the course of this year. What&rsquo;s more, Vice President J.D. Vance and State Secretary Marco Rubio also gave interviews, and other top White House officials, including Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and adviser Stephen Miller, lent themselves to corny, <em>The West Wing<\/em>-style photoshoots. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2 d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1524215155\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Regardless of how this was going to turn out, why all of these people would voluntarily contribute to yet another publication that hates them and is hellbent on destroying this country is anyone&rsquo;s guess. Trump himself <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2025\/04\/donald-trump-oval-office-interview-excerpts\/682623\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">continues to engage<\/a> with Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/01\/15\/time-to-snuff-out-atlantic-mag-the-refugee-camp-for-all-the-worst-in-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Atlantic<\/a>, who has <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/24\/debunked-atlantic-hit-piece-gives-kamala-pretext-to-justify-political-violence-against-enemies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">demonstrably lied<\/a> about the president in the most appalling ways, so their conduct isn&rsquo;t unheard of.<\/p>\n<p>The more urgent problem at hand, though, isn&rsquo;t just that Wiles did the interviews &mdash; it&rsquo;s what she said in them. After the feature published, she released a shockingly amateurish <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SusieWiles\/status\/2000943061627548148\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">statement<\/a> about how &ldquo;much of what I, and others, said about the team and the President was left out of the story,&rdquo; as if it&rsquo;s a great scandal that an antagonistic publication like Vanity Fair wouldn&rsquo;t include all the times she called Trump amazing. But that doesn&rsquo;t account for what was left <em>in<\/em> the feature, including comments from Wiles contradicting her boss, gossiping about her current and former White House associates, and openly musing about them having ulterior motives.<\/p>\n<p>This is the person Trump refers to as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/who-is-susie-wiles-ice-maiden-who-will-be-trumps-chief-staff-2024-11-08\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;ice maiden,&rdquo;<\/a> which I thought was to suggest a certain steely self-possession rather than just a nickname for a fragile woman at risk of melting.<\/p>\n<p>She has made the entire public question the sincerity and priorities of this administration and made it all the more difficult to defend a White House that, until now, was pretty easy to defend. By the way, all the accompanying pictures of Wiles and her peers were wildly unflattering, and if she has any enemies, she might consider recommending the photographer for their weddings.<\/p>\n<p>Being silent worked for Wiles. She should go back to doing that.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Eddie Scarry is the D.C. columnist at The Federalist and author of &#8220;<a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0FR8XCMYC\">Traitors: The Democrat Party&rsquo;s Collapse into Anti-American Filth<\/a>.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-author mt-30 mt-sm-60 pt-30 bdr-top-bold-black\">\n<div class=\"row g-0 align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6\">\n<div class=\"article-author-profile d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center justify-content-md-start\">\n<div class=\"article-author-details\">\n<div class=\"label-md\">Eddie Scarry<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-author-twitter label-sm d-flex align-items-center mt-10\">             <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter me-5\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>             <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Visit on Twitter<\/span>            <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eScarry\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text-decoration-none\">@eScarry<\/a>           <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 d-flex justify-content-center justify-content-md-end mt-15 mt-md-0\">        <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/author\/eddiescarry\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">More Articles<\/a>     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-tags bdr-top-black mt-30 mt-sm-60 pt-15 pt-md-45\">\n<ul class=\"list-unstyled d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center mb-0 mx-n10 p-0\">\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/corporate-media\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">corporate media<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Donald Trump<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/jd-vance\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">jd vance<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/karoline-leavitt\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Karoline Leavitt<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/leaks\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Leaks<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/marco-rubio\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Marco Rubio<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/media\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Media<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/stephen-miller\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Stephen Miller<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/susie-wiles\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Susie Wiles<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/vanity-fair\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Vanity Fair<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Credit Daniel Torok\/White House\/Flickr Share Article on Facebook, Twitter, Truth Social, Email.
