President Donald Trump’s second-term fixation on retribution may soon turn inward, with analysts warning that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles could become the next target after publicly undercutting him in recent interviews. On their Court of History podcast, historians Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz argued that Wiles’ remarks to Vanity Fair — including describing Trump as having an “alcoholic personality” and acknowledging that investigations of his enemies were driven by revenge — amounted to a public humiliation Trump is unlikely to forgive. While his vendettas have so far focused on outside foes like James Comey, Letitia James, and Adam Schiff, Blumenthal suggested Trump “never lets a humiliation go to waste” and may seek to force Wiles out as part of an escalating pattern of internal purges amid growing turmoil in his administration.
