The White House Is Colapsing In Real Time Over This...
Karoline Leavitt melts down after Vanity Fair exposes what Trump’s team never meant to say out
The Trump White House didn’t lose it because of “framing.”
They lost it because someone spoke honestly on the record and they couldn’t walk it back.
Over the weekend, Vanity Fair published a two-part profile of Susie Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff, after nearly a year of interviews. This wasn’t a surprise drop. The White House cooperated. Photos were staged. Trump’s inner circle participated. JD Vance. Stephen Miller. Everyone knew this was happening.
They just didn’t expect it to land the way it did.
As soon as the article went live, Wiles rushed to social media to denounce it as a “disingenuously framed hit piece.” Read that carefully. She never said the quotes were wrong. She never denied saying what she said. She argued about context.
That tells you everything.
Karoline Leavitt was then sent out to do what she does best: repeat the same talking point until it sounds official. Standing on the White House lawn, she echoed Wiles word for word, called Trump the greatest president in history, called Wiles the greatest chief of staff in history, and accused Vanity Fair of “bias by omission.”
It was pure spin. And it was obvious.
CNN later raised an even bigger question. People close to Trump were openly wondering how this interview happened at all. Did Wiles think she was speaking off the record? Did she believe this was background for history, not immediate publication? Was this about positioning for the future?
Because Susie Wiles is not reckless. She avoids the press. She doesn’t freelance. Which makes what she said even more damaging.
Especially when it came to Elon Musk.
Wiles didn’t just confirm Musk’s drug use. She described him as erratic, difficult to manage, constantly wired, sleeping on mattresses, bouncing from crisis to crisis. This is the same man who was given enormous influence over government operations, including decisions that led to devastating cuts at USAID.
That candor is why the White House freaked out.
You don’t see this kind of coordinated meltdown unless something went wrong internally. And it did. Not because Vanity Fair lied, but because the truth slipped through in plain language, on the record, to a reporter who actually understands power and history.
That’s why there were no real rebuttals. Just outrage. Just repetition. Just Karoline Leavitt performing propaganda in real time.
They didn’t lose control because of the article.
They lost control because they told the truth and couldn’t put it back in the box.
If you want clear-eyed coverage of how this White House actually operates, not the talking points version, consider becoming a paid subscriber.
That support keeps this work going.
As another old lady with an alcoholic dad, Susie Wiles’ deviousness is very familiar to me. After a lifetime of being a “good girl,” she’s tired. She’d rather claim her long interview with a publishing legend was “taken out of context.” Wasn’t her! It was them!
Considering we haven't heard a peep from her since just before Musk left, she had so much pent up, she just had to let it out. She's old enough to know better than to try to backtrack her statements. She knows what she said was "Brutally true" Good reporting Adam.
