Vanity Fair drops two bombshell stories based on months of interviews with the White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles.

Wiles says Trump has an "alcoholic's personality," that JD Vance is a "conspiracy theorist," and that Pam Bondi "whiffed" on the Epstein files. She also admits to knowing about Elon Musk using drugs while working in the White House and that she's ok with retribution.

But maybe the most important thing is that the interviews show an administration in chaos and a president who seems to be pretty checked out when it comes to doing the job.
