Ends Negotiations with Nancy Pelosi on Coronavirus Relief\">chief<\/a> of Staff Susie Wiles&#8217;s decision to give multiple interviews to Vanity Fair, which was seen as an attempt to shape the narrative around the Trump management in a more positive light. Washington Examiner senior writer Joe Concha defended Wiles&#8217;s strategy, acknowledging that sometimes political figures seek to control how their stories are told, especially regarding accomplishments like the economy. However, Concha advised Wiles to be more selective with her interviewers, criticizing the Vanity Fair reporter, Chris Whipple, for having an anti-Trump bias. Despite this, Concha emphasized the importance of the administration continuing media engagement, especially with the upcoming 2026 midterm elections and potential political challenges. Susie Wiles, the first female White House chief of staff, has a history in politics dating back to the Reagan administration and previously managed Trump&#8217;s campaign.  <\/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<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Wiles&rsquo;s interview was an attempt to put Trump administration &lsquo;in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-propose-wiseye-replacement\/\" title=\"Democrats propose WisEye replacement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/greg-gutfeld-opens-new-time-slot-with-blistering-takedown-of-the-ladies-of-the-view\/\" title=\"Greg Gutfeld fiercely criticizes &#039;The View&#039; ladies in new time slot.\">proper light<\/a>&#038;rsquo<\/a>;: Joe Concha<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2446919\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em>Washington Examiner<\/em> senior writer <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/in_focus\/3757725\/top-5-media-fails-trump-2-0\/\">Joe Concha<\/a> defended White House chief of staff Susie Wiles&rsquo;s attempt to control the &ldquo;narrative&rdquo; by <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3919174\/susie-wiles-slams-vanity-fair-hit-piece-trump-team\/\">interviewing with <em>Vanity Fair<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Wiles <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SusieWiles\/status\/2000943061627548148\">slammed the article<\/a>, published Tuesday, as a &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >disingenuously framed hit piece<\/a> on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history.&rdquo; Concha understood Wiles&rsquo;s possible reasoning behind meeting the outlet 11 different times to speak with her over the course of this year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3924300\/scott-bessent-ray-dalio-donate-trump-accounts\/\">Bessent announces hedge fund manager Ray Dalio will personally donate to &#8216;Trump accounts&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3924352\/watch-live-trump-first-lady-dignified-transfer-ceremony\/\">WATCH LIVE: Trump and first lady participate in dignified transfer ceremony<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3923848\/byron-york-susie-wiles-invited-vanity-fair-controversy\/\">Byron York points out Susie Wiles &lsquo;invited&rsquo; Vanity Fair controversy<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;I think sometimes you don&rsquo;t want the narrative to be painted for you.

According to Concha, Whipple&rsquo;s book about the campaign is an &ldquo;anti-Trump manifesto.&rdquo; Still, Concha acknowledged that the administration should continue speaking to the media, while recommending that they film the entire conversation.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It is important because 2026 is basically here now at this point.
