Here are some statements from Susie Wiles, White House Chief of Staff, in her recent interview:

1. “He [Trump] has an alcoholic’s personality, even though he doesn’t drink.”

2. “There’s nothing he can’t do — nothing, zero, nothing.”

3. “Some of the prosecutions might look like retribution.”

4. “On foreign pressure like Venezuela: We’re very sure we know who we’re blowing up.”

5. “There was a loose agreement that score settling would end early, but it hasn’t.”

Other allies are conspiracy theorists or zealots, depending on her view.
